What's New? - New London, Connecticut.
What's New - Well the old in New London, Connecticut. As the winter chills our bones and our toes tingle with those little bells of winter New London an old port town on the banks of the Thames River in Southeastern Connecticut often overlooked by passers by on the main interstate (95) has several new additions to our "What's New" section.
With the closing of Xocolatl on State and Green Street in the late summer of 2007 a void was left on the New London eating landscape. Xocolatl offered inventive chocolate treats, lattes and more not counting those great and addictive Xocolatl warm drinks however business was not strong enough to survive and sadly enough their doors closed. However someone else has taken over 140 State Street and is running a French style organic bistro. TheNewEnglandcoast.com will check this place out in our voyage scheduled for February 2008.
Ye Olde Bank Tavern next door to the historic Shaw Mansion on 345 Bank Street has been re-born as Devs on Bank is now under new ownership and has a new lease on life. Offering Tappas (small plates-common in Spain) Devs looks to stay. More information can be seen at www.devsonbank.com
Adagio came and went, maybe too early for their time or just not enough Jazz fans in the area, however a new steward has come in to manage the Golden Street club located in the cellar of an 1880s building. Rouge looks to build upon the success of Adagio and yet take it to another level. More information can be found at http://www.myspace.com/rougenitelife Rouge is located vis a vis from the Hygenic Arts Park and next door to the Peacock and Feathers Store on Golden Street.
One of the fun places to head to when out and about is Muse Shoes and Gallery! A neat little shoe boutique offering niche trend shoes and an ever changing display of artwork from local and national artists. Frank and the boys at Muse are open until at least 10pm and have brought life and energy to downtown New London! The boys at Muse offer a real bit SOHO New York to the area and offer fashion shows, parties and more. They have given people a reason to come down at night to this little side street. Muse is located at the corner of Green and Golden Street (102 Golden) in a building dating to 1786 and can be found at myspace at http://www.myspace.com/themuse102
Grampy's Downtown Deli has opened it's doors at 298 Bank Street vis a vis from Shaw Mansion on Bank Street. Grampy's is offering locally produced sausage, cheese and more... a nice higher end compliment to the standard fare Deli offering.
Michael's Dairy a local favorite of New Londoners for decades has now opened on Bank Street in New London. Offering homemade Ice Cream and sweet treats Michael's can be found at 60 Bank Street in the heart of it all. While Mystic has it's ice cream shop -Drawbridge Ice Cream and Old Lyme it's Hallmark New London now has another Michaels Dairy. Check out their website at http://www.michaelsdairydowntown.com/
The last weekend in January is the Hygenic time to shine again downtown. This event which features local and national artists features as their slogan says..."no judge, no fee, no jury...." Cutting Edge Art that has become a staple in attracting more and more people downtown to see the main catalyst for change in New London's downtown.

Until later... please stay tuned for more happenings on thenewenglandcoast.com
