Chowder House Rules
When you come to Connecticut in wintertime, there’s nothing like a nice, hot bowl of chowder to warm you up. Whether you’ve been hiking through the snowy woods or skiing down a powdery slope, strolling along the shore or shopping up a storm, the chowder will quickly remind you that it’s one of the great comfort foods – savory, substantial, steamy and altogether delicious.

Lobster Lover's Guide

Here’s a quick look at some of the best purveyors that are currently offering takeout, delivery or outdoor dining.
