Alfresco Thursdays in Essex (July & August) are just what the doctor ordered – if the doctor ordered that you take a break from it all and escape to Essex for a magical evening of strolling, shopping, dining, listening, and having a Covidly responsible good time!

Our “Day Tripping” posts happen to be one of our most popular features. Making itineraries for a perfect day out with your besties is definitely our thing! There’s always eating and some kind of cocktail involved…a bit of culture, a spot of shopping, new experiences, and most of all a ton of fun!

To please our eyes and fill our soul, we recently visited Kent Barns’ art district. We perused 6 uniquely diverse art galleries covering everything from the avant-garde to classic and showing artists who are household names to the up-and-coming. All of it can be found within one beautiful block. Forget Chelsea, a world of friendly fine art is right here at Kent Barns!
Heya, day trippers! Today we’re in Mansfield, the “Quiet Corner” of CT. We don’t get up there much which is a shame because it’s beautiful! Mansfield is home to UCONN (Storrs is a village in Mansfield – we never knew!), great ice cream, beautiful pastoral scenery, and all you could need for a well-rounded day trip (or longer!). A cultural and recreational destination!
Day tripping fans, we have another marvelous itinerary for you! Grab your friends, download our Gmap, and go spend a delightful day in and around Stonington, Connecticut. With its coastal charm and rich history, it’s a gem!
