Restaurants & Dining
New London is a small city like no other - with a downtown that provides a variety and depth of dining and entertainment experiences. Whether you're looking for a cup coffee and a treat, a tasty lunch, or an elegant to casual dining experience you will find it in downtown New London - all within walking distance from the parking garages!
Like Thai food? How about Japanese, real Mexican, Northern Indian, Ecuadorian specialties from soups to chiffonades, an overstuffed deli sandwich or panini, fresh seafood or lobster, authentic Italian specialties, a juicy steak, great pizza, jambalaya, house-made soups, cheeses and gourmet items, Euro-infusion of salads & sandwiches, pastries? Or some Tiramisu & espresso to top off your evening? Yep, you're still walking from your parking place! (There's also on-site/on-street parking available at most establishments.)
Enjoy fine wine? Maybe a bit of nightlife and music with dinner? Or let New London's own authentic Irish Pub transport you to the Emerald Isle with live traditional Irish music, and an Irish Coffee or a Murphy's Irish Stout. And it's all located downtown!
Or download the handy Dining Guide (PDF, 1.8 MB; updated October 2007) to forward to your friends! The guide highlights a wide spectrum of downtown New London establishments. In addition to fine and casual dining, establishments that offer take-out items, delicious baked goods, and gourmet coffees are featured. Each listing includes address, phone, hours, specialties, and price ranges. Symbols in the guide indicate handicap accessibility, patios, water views, early-morning dining, and entertainment hot spots. To accommodate the growing number of families visiting the Historic Waterfront District, a crayon was added to note establishments that are "kid-friendly". A map in the back of the guide shows the location of each establishment, along with parking areas, automated teller machines, and other amenities.
