Best for

Mystic, Stonington, New Haven, Litchfield Hills, river towns, southeast Connecticut, shoreline weekends, and rail-versus-car decisions.

Why it fits

Best when the trip sits between New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts and the question is which Connecticut coast, hill, river, or campus base fits.
