Connecticut - Off the Beaten Path

Dedicated to travelers with a taste for the unique, these easy-to-use, state-by-state guides will help readers discover the hidden places that most tourists miss -- shining the spotlight squarely on the offbeat. If it is funky, funny, little known, or out of the way, it will probably be found in Off the Beaten Path "RM."

The Off the Beaten Path "RM" series covers every state in the United States plus Washington, D.C., the Maritime Provinces, British Columbia, Quebec, and Puerto Rico and select cities such as Boston and Chicago.

Head to the Witch's Dungeon in Bristol (during the last two weekends in October) where artist Cortland Hull re-creates room-size scenes titan famous Hollywood thrillers or stop for a bite to eat at Skee's Diner in Torrington, a small, 1920s-era diner that might just be the oldest in the state. If it's funny, little-known, or out of the way in Connecticut, then travelers will find it in this guide.
