07 Mystic, Connecticut
If there's one thing to be said about Mystic, it's this: don't miss it! The riverside town, nestled halfway between New York and Boston, perfectly encapsulates the New England aesthetic. Drift along the river aboard a sailboat, rowboat, or 100-year-old steamboat, or browse the local boutiques and watch the world go by from one of the town's many cute cafes. Make sure you stop by Mystic Pizza for a slice or two while you're in town - the pizzeria was the inspiration for the 1988 movie of the same name, starring Julia Roberts.
