On 95 in CT, we’ve only stopped at Lenny’s in Branford. I think my husband has had the lobster roll there but I can’t recall. We’ve probably eaten there 3-4 times and have always left happy. But honestly, that stretch of 95 is scary to me (my brother lives in Mamaroneck and my SIL lives in Greenwich so we’ve done that drive many times from Boston and RI), especially since you are traveling on a holiday and trying to make it to a wedding in Newport, which will be hectic on the 4th. Could you find your lobster roll during the weekend? The best lobster roll I’ve had in that area is at Anthony’s in Middletown but you don’t go for the ambience (you’re basically eating under a tent in a parking lot).
Heading home on Sunday, I presume. Do not pass go, stop only for emergencies, as you probably know. Or take your time, find your lobster shack and let the traffic subside.
I just remembered @BKeats thread from a couple of years ago. Maybe there is something that might interest you? Connecticut shoreline eats summer 2023
Haven’t seen @BKeats in a while around here. Hope he’s ok.
