Travel Advice Sought [View all]

Driving up to Maine in a few weeks and need a place to stop and waste a day.

Thinking of Bridgeport or New Haven in Connecticut

or Newport, RI

Any suggestions? We like good food and brewing scenes, historic places, things to see, etc.

What say you DU?

PS, thought of posting this into one of the places forum, but they don't have a New England group.
PPS, yes, I've heard of Boston.
