This was done at Parkville Market so I guess this is the spot? I am spoiled in Miami I guess and the folks I know in CT just don’t know food the same way I do… but I will have to check this place out next visit.
untimately the DoT wants country-wide uniformity, and states were dragging their feet....so the DoT told them to get with the program or lose federal funding.
We just go through jersey to get to points south. Then end up on the southern section of the NJ Turnpike, 2 lane hell where everyone insists on cruising in the left lane. I don't think I've ever had the NJ style pizza board.
Merritt Parkway also starts next week, that's my exit in the picture Connecticut DOT starts work to renumber Merritt, Wilbur Cross parkways on Monday
We found Fishy's alias!
In States where this has already been done I see lots of signs attached to the new ones "old exit number xxx"
Prior to taking Metro North, I used to love cruising up the Merritt on the way home from work thinking I’d make good time, then coming to a screeching halt and seeing a line of traffic going up that hill. Good times.
Pizza is only the greatest food in the world!
That would be Mystic, CT. The restaurant is Shipyards Daughter, and the head chef/owner is David Standridge. He was named the Best Chef in New England in the prestigious James Beard Culinary Awards for 2024. Another finalist in that category was the Oyster Club & Chef Renee Toupounce (may have misspelled that name), also in Mystic. Suffice it say that those two joints probably serve better food than the Old Jungle Cafeteria at UConn.
I spent a number of years making pizza in Connecticut in my younger days (mid 80's-mid 90's), from Danbury to Storrs to a small southern Fairfield county chain, and never saw anybody grab a fork or a knife when a pizza was put in front of them.
I saw at least one on I 495 that showed the miles to a destination in an illuminated scoreboard type light for the number. Are they expecting the distance to possibly change?
That "slice of pizza" looks like a fragment of truck tire you might see on the side of the road on the NJ Tpk.
those are minutes, not miles...
I live in Palm Beach County and unless you have a specific liking to South American foods not sure how you can make this comment.
Should have done that on the UConn natty sign, avoid the expense of changing the "6" to a "7" next April (and into the future!)
Work to replace more than 70 exit signs along Route 15, including renumbering several, will begin Monday.
There are multiple Michelin started restaurants, for example. Our pizza does almost universally suck though, I finally found a spot that a decent NY-style pie though.
Or some kind of roadkill anyway.
Great Italian food in North Jersey, never thought the pizza was all that great. CT easily has the best pizza.
