Very cool find on a rainy day. I liked the artifacts kept, minimal entrance fee, and portraits displayed.

I am not "officially" involved in the Norwich Arts Council's Board. I do very occasionally…read morevolunteer there but not even "officially". I want to say this because I don't see or hear anyone else doing it. I have never met or seen a more dedicated group of people working so hard to save an organization. I am so impressed with each person I have met there. They give so much to keep what may be the best kept secret in Norwich going! I think you should check them out! I attended a movie night recently and they were showing the movie recently released about the life of Steven Hawking. The theater was surprisingly comfortable and the quality of the viewing and sound were superb. Okay, the seats were not like a movie theater. But you could even buy popcorn. And the most surprising thing of all is that not one of these people gets paid to do what they do. And when I went to a meeting with some friends tonight at the gallery I got a preview of a fabulous show the volunteers were mounting for the art faculty of the local community college. If you enjoy viewing fine art, you do not want to miss this show! Since I first moved into Norwich I was told that downtown was to be avoided. But I have been there and eaten wonderful foods and walked all over and been in some fabulous small shops and not a single person ever threatened to mug me. No one even came near. I think it is time to dispense with a rumor that causes more suffering than anything else in Norwich. Check out downtown for yourself and don't miss the NAC's doings!

I want to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience we had during our Mother's Day cruise…read more As visitors from the Hudson Valley, we were unfamiliar with the area and found Mystic quite crowded. We initially struggled to find parking, which was a significant concern as my wife has disabilities. We were worried we would miss our departure, but the gentleman in your office was exceptionally helpful and kind. He assured us that he had coordinated with the captain to hold the boat, and he even ran out of the office to personally guide us to the dock. The captain and crew on the schooner were professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the sights around Mystic Harbor. I was a beautiful sunny day and, despite the wind picking up, it was a very relaxing, smooth and enjoyable sail. Thank you for your outstanding professionalism and for making sure we didn't miss the boat. We had a great time and highly recommend your cruises.

We took a sunset cruise on the Argia, which is the last commercial sailing ship left in Mystic,…read morewhen we were visiting Mystic with a couple of friends on the Fourth of July. The boat has different seating options - wooden benches and cushion seats without backrests. We reserved two of the cushioned areas and showed up ready to check in on time (they ask you to show up about 30 minutes before boarding to check in). You board at the dock just next to the bridge in Mystic, so it couldn't be more convenient if you're exploring Mystic for a day or a weekend. The Argia allows you to bring alcohol (wine and beer) on board (although they ask that you not bring large coolers - there's no room for them), so we brought a couple of bottles of wine bought from the great wine shop down the street. The sail is partly narrated. Our sail was two hours long, and the staff narrated for some of the sailing time - pointing out historic and interesting sites along the sail (islands with an interesting history, homes with interesting architecture, etc.). Between the gorgeous scenery, some narration of fun and interesting facts about Mystic and its harbor, the great wine we'd brought aboard, and great company - it was the perfect way to spend a couple of hours in Mystic. What a beautiful way to enjoy Mystic and its harbor!

All sorts of collector items, toys, books, snacks, clothing and all the things. I loved the people that dressed up and were gracious to take photos when asked. Everyone was super nice. So many vendors that you definitely need a plan to get through it all. I loved watching the comic book illustrators illustrating on site. They were so amazing and talented. It was my first time and I'll definitely be returning each year.

This was my first year at TerrifiCon. We purchased tickets (online) for Saturday. On the web site,…read morethey recommend buying tickets online as tickets are $5 more if you purchase at the door ($30 online vs $35 at the door). Unfortunately, they sell them through TicketMaster and after all the fees, you end up paying $36 and change for the ticket. You can buy them at local shops around CT, but I live in Boston. One of the best things about the event is that it's held at Mohegan Sun. Why, you ask? Well, if you need a break from the convention or it's just too crowded you can get a bracelet and step out into the casino and there's plenty to see, eat, or even gamble! I saw soooo many people just sitting on the floor eating food they got at the little concession stand outside the entrance when there are literally 10 other food options if you step out from the convention and walk 5 minutes. I really liked that there were an abundance of comic book vendors. I've been to other conventions (Boston comes to mind) where they are few and far between. Lots of digging to be done and lots of $1 bins to go through. Photo ops and autographs aren't really my thing, but if they are the lineup of celebrity guests was a little...eh. I'm a little surprised to see how many people were waiting for...wait for it...Val Kilmer...in 2019. The other big name was Billy Dee Williams. Eh. Again, photo ops and autographs aren't my thing. Overall, I thought it was a great event and well organized. Will definitely consider coming back next year

There is a kids arcade inside called Kids Quest that has good games. There are great fine dining options inside such as Sushi Koya, Tao Asian Bistro, The Farm Italy, and Michael Jordan's Steak House. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana also makes good fresh brick oven pizza that is made to order. Although the pizza used to be much better back in the day. Some of the restaurants have changed over the years, but most of the key ones have stayed the same. The hotel is also well put together and comfortable. Additionally, my relatives like what the casino has to offer here. Aside from that, they do have some great shows and concerts here. They also have a shopping area where you can spend a lot of time. Shopping-wise, The Olde General Store has some unique and quaint supplies and tools. Sometimes, this store carries handmade dolls by local Mohegan artists. It's a great personal touch since the area is part of the Mohegan Tribe's reservation. I still like visiting Mohegan Sun with family.

Hell, I have the midis touch as soon as I step in the door. $100 bills are flying all over da place and my favorite machine is the GIANT BUFFALO slot machine. It constantly pays time & time again. Ok, beside the slots the dining is absolutely fabulous. Everything from Chick Filet to Michael Jordan's Steakhouse serving prime dry aged steaks. Shopping store non problem cause they have plenty of options for shopping.... But enough of this I'm primed to hit the machines once again, so see ya!

Nice library located in downtown Norwich. Seems very diverse and appealing. Lots of books to choose…read morefrom. Book sales held twice a year. Nice staff as well.

The old Greek Revival building was pretty cool but it was just to small to accommodate the growing community and so a new, larger but more ordinary building was built in the 1960s. Over the years the new building also proved to be inadequate so the library managed to receive a 4.5 million dollar grant in 2004 for renovations and improvements. This was the largest library grant in state's history and certain turned the library into a wonderful place to research and visit. Unfortunately over the last few years money has been scarce and the library has been losing funding, resulting in loss of hours and programs. Hopefully this will change in the near future. Lot of open space, cool places to sit and a extremely useful local history and genealogy room. A lovely area for kids and even a pleasant little courtyard outside. Not a historical or stunning building like lots of the many of the old libraries in the area but one that has a charming and friendly atmosphere and is a library that is a very pleasant place to work, learn or just look around.
