Dining Out Around Our Neighborhood
| Dining in Connecticut offers lots of options. |  | |
| Chicken piccata at Rossini's in East Hampton |
 |
| Apple strudel at Sadlers in Marlborough |
Dare I confess that we eat out quite a lot. I have hundreds of really good food pictures and this morning I am feeling like I want to share them. It may just help you decide where you would like to dine next time you are in the mood for a meal out.

Oktoberfest at Sadlers Restaurant in Marlborough
We stopped for lunch today at Sadlers Restaurant in Marlborough. I knew there was still a day or two left of their Oktoberfest menu and wanted my chance to enjoy it.
If you love German Food, Oktoberfest beer and delicious apple strudel don't waste a minute getting over there.

Review: Lantern Light Tour Old Wethersfield
On Friday evening, Al and I took the 7:45 tour. Parking was available behind the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center. You can enter through the back door and take the elevator to the first floor where the check in desk is.
After you check in, it is requested that you do this 15 minutes early go and have a drink of warm or cold cider and a cookie before gathering to take the walk.
All the tours are capped at 20 people so the tours are manageable. You will be doing quite a lot of walking, much of it on uneven ground in the cemetery so wearing appropriate shoes is important. If you have problems with uneven ground or stairs, this is not the tour for you.
The tour moves along at a pretty good clip, there is a lot to hear in just one hour. We seemed to be the oldest people on the tour so maybe not for the elderly especially since you are walking around in the dark. One thing we wished we had done was to bring our own flashlight.
I would highly recommend this tour. It was extremely informative and the people (former residents) that we met on the tour all had a very interesting story to tell. The tour is new every year so we can safely do it again next year and not hear the same stories.
