I hate to say it, but summer is coming to an end (really though, how is it already August?!). With only a few weeks left before school starts again, there isn't much time. At the beginning of the summer, our bucket list is endless: beach days, vacation, shopping, cliff jumping, laying out in the sun, visiting friends and family, mini golf, and last but not least- restaurants. Deciding where to eat is always a tough choice. What kind of food do we want to eat? Where haven't we eaten yet? Where can we sit outside? Where can we eat on the water? What restaurants can we only go to in the summer? And, with summer almost being over, this decision is suddenly ten times harder to make. Summer is the only time you can go to certain restaurants, especially the ones where you can sit outside by the water. If you're lucky, you're already by the water. But if not, you have to drive far to get to some of the best places. So, for all of you indecisive people in Connecticut, here's a list of ten restaurants to visit before summer ends:
