Swanky Franks, Rawleys, SuperDawg, and a few others are practically a stone's throw from the turnpike. And Rte. 1 parallells I-95 from the NY line up to around New Haven. Any exit you take along that route onto Rte. 1 is likely to drop you off within a half mile or so of a diner, the authentic kind, not the prefab retro crap that is popping up everywhere you look. <br> <br> Not so sure what's decent along the Merritt. The areas it passes through are more residential than commercial. There's a few places on this website in the Norwalk/Wilton area on Rte. 7, which is off the Merritt, but I always find the traffic on 7 unbearable. My preference would be to cross over to I-95. <br> <br> On the Wilbur Cross Parkway, head towards Meriden and make tracks for Ted's. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=10803Fri, 09 May 2003 11:49:09 GMT Can anyone suggest some good places to eat along the Wilbur Cross and Merritt Parkways in Connecticut? http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=10802Sun, 04 May 2003 21:51:35 GMT
