We came to visit the CT coast towns last Thanksgiving and it was sheer perfection. No tourists, gorgeous foliage, and we even saw a Christmas tree lighting on the Milford green! It felt like we were in a Hallmark movie.
I highly recommend skipping I-95 and driving to Orient Point, at the tip of Long Island, where you can catch a car ferry to New London, within a 15 minute drive of Mystic. Better yet, leave your car in Orient Point and ride your bike from New London to Mystic!
When you grow up in the area and you go to Mystic and Mystic Seaport every year as a school field trip it doesn't mean anything special. Now as an adult, living away from the area, I miss it soo much!!! I used to live in Stonington Borough, I miss the smells, the sights everything (I don't miss the snow, I live in FLA now). I brought a friend who is a born and bred Floridian, she loved all the buildings and sites. I took tons of pictures to refresh my memory. A lot has changed, but Mystic and Stonington thankfully have not. Also, traveling from NYC take the Merritt PKY, avoid I95 New Haven to New York City. I never drive into the city if I don't have to, park and take a train or drive around the city. Also another village in the area worth the short ride and walk around, Noank (excellent "lobstah" at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough), not quite as "touristy"
+Terrie Walden we really had a wonderful time there. when our oldest is old enough we are going to send him to a week long sailing school at Mystic... just 2 more summers and we are back :)
Did you guys drive into the Seaport from your hotel? How about Stonington? What's the best way to get there from your hotel? I don't know if I'd drive given the traffic and lack of parking.
A lot of the hotels have shuttles that drop guests in Downtown Mystic, Mystic Seaport(they're 2 different places and not exactly walking distance to each other) and they usually do shuttles to the casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. The Seaport is easy to get it, it's a couple minutes from I95, where all the big hotels are. They have a lot of parking, tho it's crowded in the summer. Getting into Downtown Mystic is a nightmare, I'd take the shuttle if the hotel has one.
@@VGH823 It's a good healthy walk to/from the downtown/hotels. Nice way to really see Mystic, CT. Oh, you can rent or bikeshare. There's one in front of Bank Square Book Shop diagonally across from Mystic Pizza.
Great place to visit, and best place I have ever lived. Gas may be expensive, but you don't have to buy much - or drive much - with everything so close by. When you feel like going somewhere, take the train or sail there.Asheville, Charleston, etc., cannot hold a candle to the Mystic / New London / Stonington / Watch Hill (RI) / Essex area.
Sure, getting there from the South is a problem. That's why you have to take the Garden State Parkway and then The Tappan Zee bridge. Avoid the George Washington bridge and the Cross Bronx Expressway at all times.
Correction. Not the Garden Expressway take the Palisaides Parkway NJ Rt. 9W to Exit 4 to Tappan Zee Bridge to I-95 North. You'll end up just on the border of NY CT. When you're near Ft. Lee, NJ type on your GPS on Android to Tappan Zee Bridge, after you're on the bridge type/ask Google Maps to take you to Mystic, CT.
woltersworld You're quite welcome! I am trying to spread the word about your fantastic videos which contain such great advise -- and beyond that -- all of the things that you offer for *free* on your website! You're obviously a great guy! I'm just trying to spread the word, my good fellow! Keep up the great work Mark!!
Love watching your videos and always learn things from them. I did want to ask you if you can do a video on New England in the winter. What is there to do when everything is closed for the winter? Where are the places to go and things to do? Please consider it. Thanks for everything!
Just spent a couple of days in Mystic on a job for my company. Didn't have much time for sightseeing and it was snowing, but I drove past the seaport and glimpsed the Charles W. Morgan which one of my ancestors, Captain George Fred Tilton, restored in the 1920's. I also had a great meal at the Steak Loft, and I hope to return again when the weather is more pleasant. I must agree however that it is VERY expensive, at least compared to the southeast. Cheers!
Traffic has never been a big issue in the twenty years or , that I have visited. Summer is O.K. But Fall is definitely the best Time to see during The Month of October. There are many ways to save money if need be, whether you stay a few nights at a mid priced hotel, restaurant, ect. Winter is a definite NO, But always a great Place to come and visit.
The fall is where it's at. Still not too cold and also less tourists. Although winter is great to, and you avoid tourists. Just dress for the occasion and and drink hot coffee. You can have virtually the whole place to yourself. If you are in the NYC area just leave at night after 9pm to avoid traiffic, and it's a pretty short drive
Nice job on the Mystic video Mark. I liked that you covered the good and bad such as limited access to get to Mystic from New York City and New York State. Stonington has some great places to get some awesome seafood and clam chowder. Thanks Mark. well done...
Oh, so it's an open-air museum of sorts ! Cool. :-) I like it when old regional architecture gets preserved in at least this way. And it helps that this particular museum is maritime-focused, it gives it a unique flavour. A pity that it seems to be pricy even by American standards.
I lived in Mystic in the early 90's (for 6 years) and we locals LOVED when the tourists left. It's a very small town and when the tourists "invaded" we avoided downtown. Looks like it's gotten worse. I would recommend venturing outside of Mystic. Check out Old Saybrook, etc. Mystic is way too "tourist-y"
Living in Springfield, Ma, it’s only an hour and a half away so when we don’t feel like driving to the Cape, we’ll go here. It’s one of the places we usually go to almost every year. I thought the Seaport was okay, but I still love Sturbridge Village better. Though my favorite place to go here is those little shops in front of the Aquarium. So eclectic.
OK BROTHER, NICE VIDEO. I LIVE HERE IN HAWAII, IM ONLY FLYING OVER TO CONN. TO GO MYSTIC AND GO TO MYSTIC PIZZA AND THATS IT, IM FLYING BACK. THIS IS BECAUSE MYSTIC PIZZA IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
@Mickey Winters Angie's! Best meatball grinder, too. I grew up in Mystic. Great weather three months out of the year-you can guess when that is :) In the summers, I worked on the Charles W. Morgan as a human prop. We'd climb up the rigging and scream "Spout ho!" for the tourists. Ah, the good old days...
@Mickey Winters Thanks for the link. I never new they had a camera there. Love walking around Mystic after picking a book a Bank Square Books and a ice cream cone from the Drawbridge Ice Cream Shop.
I have lived in Mystic all my life. I love your top reasons for coming here and as you said, there are so many more. I have a different perspective living here but that is alright. I am not sure you should use a bridge in New York as a negative of Mystic. We would love to see more people come to visit or come to live.
Logan Murphy thanks Logan. I did part of a 10 Facts series I am working on and Asheville will be in it :) but I am not starting the new series until next year once I have collected enough cities to make it a good series.
Two questions. Have you ever been to Auckland, NZ? Auckland or Sydney AU. Those are also very interesting places. Also I'm thinking about being a teacher who teaches abroad, any advice?
good video as a local we never go to Mystic pizza. Mango's at Mystic Village is probably the best pizza around . Only Negative I have is half of Mystic is in Groton CT and even tho you recommended places on that side of the river you failed to say the name of the town. Also us local's generally hit mystic in the off season it's great weather wise generally in late March till end of May and then from September to November
Actually, Mystic is NOT a town it's a village. Half of Mystic and Old Mystic belongs to the town of Groton, and the eastern half is part of the town of Stonington. But it is a great place - I grew up there, well, actually lived next door in Ledyard. Nice video review though. There is a lot more to see in the area besides the Seaport and Aquarium...
I enjoy your videos Wolter, I had never heard of Mystic, but I would love to visit. You have a beautiful wife and great looking kids, I appreciate their participating in your videos. Have you done anything on Maine? I would love to eat my way thru a dozen fresh lobster and check out the outlets. Mystic looks terrific
I filmed a few videos in maine this summer, but they were parts of other videos. 5 love and hates of New England (coming out next week) and 5 love and hates of road trips (not coming out for awhile), and then a few facts about maine videos for a new series I am developing. But in terms of tourist specific I did not get much filmed as I was too busy enjoying maine :) it is beautiful. Acadia national park and Camden are my two favorite :)
woltersworld I'm a Mystic native. You did a great job accenting our wonderful town. If you are doing a series on Maine, please consider including The Victory Chimes, a three masted schooner available for sailing excursions. We spent a few days aboard last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. It sails out of Rockland, which is several miles south of Camden.
I live in Connecticut I been to mystic when I was a kid the aquarium is cool! Do you have an other american cities on your channel? Also what is the worst city you've ever visited anywhere and why?
José Séina Boricua US Cities: Savannah, GA... Chicago, IL... St. Louis, MO, (some small towns in Illinois), Orlando, FL, New Orleans, probably a few more too
nice video! we are planning a trip up to mystic from PA in the dead of winter :-O but our goal is just to see the historic sites and hunker down in a cozy quiet place for a few days!
Hello mark :) , as u know the Oktoberfest is coming soon in germany if u are going there i would like to see 5 things u love and hate or anything about bavaria or Oktoberfest Thanks mark
We have 10 things to know about Oktoberfest, top 10 Bavaria and top 10 Munich. Also 5 love and hate Munich. 5 love and hate Oktoberfest and Bavaria will come out next September :)
You are the blond version of the swedish food connoisseur & Bon Vivant, Edward Blom. You smile exactly like him. Mystic, CT seems like a bigger and more vibrant version of Borensberg, Sweden or Wolgast, Germany
"Hate" huh? Well, we Americans are rather known for that word and I suppose it is appropriate. Was "dislike" to weak for us Americans? Did you ever let your kids use "hate?" We never heard the word in our family. Best of luck and thanks for an excellent video.
Mark, might want to enunciate the "D" in tourist hoards a bit better. You said it about three times before I recognized that you were saying "hoards" and not another similar sounding word.
Don't blame I95 on Mystic. And oh yeah who would ever expect that the sea shore would be busy in the summer. And please you are a tourist. Don't blame Mystic for the tourists. Yeah it's expensive. We residents have the same complaint, but just look around. We like it.
Agreed -- the infrastructure in the Northeast -- the wealthiest part of our country -- is depressing and disgraceful after having spent years anywhere in Western Europe. Also, yeah, how disappointing is Mystic Pizza? Really no better in person than the frozen version at the grocery store.
+ajl1239 The Northeast is no longer the richest part of the country. yes there still many wealthy people here, but they made their money elsewhere. It was up until the mid 20th century when much of the manufacturing left, leaving most of the cities in and states in desperation. It also doesn't help that the states are badly mismanaged and corrupt. The northeast, besides NYC and the Boston areas, is now just a shell of itself living on memories its industrial past. The whole region feels like a museum no wonder why tourism is now the largest industry in the region.
We came to visit the CT coast towns last Thanksgiving and it was sheer perfection. No tourists, gorgeous foliage, and we even saw a Christmas tree lighting on the Milford green! It felt like we were in a Hallmark movie.
This video really does describe our beautiful Connecticut very well. Thank you for making the time to create this video.
Sir,
Without a doubt, this is one of the best videos on youtube. Nearly flawless monologue, and your composition and editing are also excellent.
I highly recommend skipping I-95 and driving to Orient Point, at the tip of Long Island, where you can catch a car ferry to New London, within a 15 minute drive of Mystic. Better yet, leave your car in Orient Point and ride your bike from New London to Mystic!
Yeah good advice on how to get stabbed
@@woofdoogy I've done it every year for 22 years and I don't have any holes in me yet.
That's one of the best pics ever of Liam at 4:47. What a smile!!!

Mystic is a great destination for New Yorkers with or without a vehicle. The train is close to downtown. And you're right about the history.

ZemplinTemplar yes it is pricey, though the mystic seaport is not that bad to be honest. It is more eating and sleeping :) but still well worth it.
Your children are adorable! Great info! Thank you!
Can’t wait to visit!
Pretty cool, had never heard of this town =)
0:30 You can take Amtrak, or Shore Line East to New London and take an Uber.
Amtrak Northeast Regional (from NYC or from Boston) stops in Mystic itself.

Mystic Village. Yeh it's a good day to walk around, buy some cool stuff, eat at some really nice restaurants and coffee shops.
Another good one old chap, doubt I'll be going there anytime soon, but I loved it. You do get about.😎
cheers ash (again :)
OK BROTHER, NICE VIDEO. I LIVE HERE IN HAWAII, IM ONLY FLYING OVER TO CONN. TO GO MYSTIC AND GO TO MYSTIC PIZZA AND THATS IT, IM FLYING BACK. THIS IS BECAUSE MYSTIC PIZZA IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
The pizza sucks this is the worst idea I have ever heard
GREAT VIDEO!!!! WE LOVE MYSTIC, WENT THERE TEN YEARS AGO.
IgnacioAgramonte Thank you! We really enjoyed it. All the best for your travels.
Mangos has the best pizza in Mystic. It is next to the shopping village right next to the aquarium

Winter is not the only alternative to summer. Spring and Fall are the best times.
OMG...I follow you when I'm traveling overseas taking in your tips. I wish I had known you were here...I would have given you the 10 cent tour. :)
I can't believe wolter' s world is in CT! Wow!

Please visit Asheville NC and do a review!
Did a short video on Asheville that won't come out until next year though :)

Cody Ferrell awesome! great travels to you and mom!
Love: This video highlighting my very favorite town. Hate: Calling Stonington Borough just "Stonington" since Mystic is part of Stonington as well.
I know. it was hard to explain (I have a top 10 mystic coming out in a couple days where I try to explain it ;) thanks for watching!

Casey Vee are you meaning a gardening device? why would tourists be gardening? Oh wait.... ;)
LOL!
Those kids are just too adorable! I'm going to eat them up!
Grew up in Stonington/Mystic only negative: too many rude New Yorkers in sunner.
Wirst du mal wieder in Deutschland sein?

Also Angie's Pizza just down Rte 1 on the corner of Rte 27 has better pizza than Mystic Pizza!!! The other side of the drawbridge.
