Journaling reads: By this time in our travels through Connecticut’s Quiet Corner, we are getting pretty hungry. The best place to stop for lunch and hang out for a bit is The Vanilla Bean Cafe, a favorite with the locals, tourists and especially weekend bikers. Don’t let all of the Harleys parked outside scare you off, the atmosphere inside is relaxed and the crowd is very friendly. After lunch, head across the road to Martha’s Herbary, a truly lovely garden shop where you can browse for treasures inside and out. There are some nice gardens outside that I love to stroll around in, even in the fall.

Tip: Black and white photos look so classic to me, and they really helped convey my message that this is the classic hang-out spot it town. See? Even a book about fall foliage can have a few black and white photos .
