Mystic and its famous seaport, as well as the towns and cities around it, are favorite spots for tourists – and that includes tourists from both within and from outside Connecticut. Jessica Dowling knows just about everything there is to know about the area and about what is going on within a 50-mile radius. On her blog she highlights mansions, churches and parks to visit, museums to tour and even farms to pick berries. She often writes in the first person and posts about her personal experiences at a site, event or restaurant, and every post is liberally illustrated with pictures, most of which she took while visiting the place. Jessica says she created her blog "as a place to share old favorites and new discoveries" around the town and around the state.

Julie Bess Hymans is the "Connecticut girl about town," and in the blog of the same name she writes about where to go in the Nutmeg State to experience the best of what Connecticut has to offer in terms of art, culture, entertainment and music. She also posts about the best places to go to see fireworks on the Fourth of July, the best restaurants and bars to go to for a pub crawl and the top plays to see. Foodies hold a special place in her heart, as do lovers of music, especially music that is played at places where people can party.

Alicia Ghio began as a blogger but has now broken into the big time – or at least what passes for the big time for Connecticut bloggers – through guest appearances on local television. Alicia Ghio knows food, and especially knows what food "rocks" in Connecticut. Her blog is a must for foodies, especially those who follow food trucks, as Alicia knows where to find the best meals on wheels in the Nutmeg State.

Beer Snob

"Enough with the pumpkin beer already!" wrote Waterbury's Will Siss in a September entry on his blog, Beer Snob. If that did not bring him a legion of fans, nothing will, as that is the kind of honest, forthright and often against the grain (no pun) kind of story he likes to write. Will knows his beer – and what he likes to drink. Micro-brewers, craft beer fans and anyone who is looking for a good beer in Connecticut should follow this beer-lover's blog, as it is as rich and creamy as an Irish stout, and as crisp and sharp as the best IPA.
