Shopping Centers & Malls near Old Lyme, CT

“Kudos to the HIDEAWAY Restaurant! Tucked away toward the back of the shopping center, this is a special place to eat and drink. Cindy and Jim, owners of the Hideaway, are on the premises. - I respect and appreciate their hands on approach to their family business. They have transitioned to indoor dining during the pandemic with 100% of all state required safety precautions, including their famous square bar...coveted by all of the regulars and newcomers. Food is very good. Consistent would best describe the fare. Some of my favs include chicken fajitas, sliced steak over salad, fish and chips, popcorn shrimp...Also, nice to be called out by your first name! Thanks Cindy and Jim - keep up the great work!”

“Big Y is a very well kept store, always clean, and appropriately stocked. Service is always stellar too. They are the most expensive of grocery stores so I don't usually do my main grocery shopping here.”

“This was the Stop and Shop. They disappointed by not having Kerrygold blue cheese, but came through with turkey bacon on sale (with a card). Still no Kerrygold blue, years later.”

“My favorite part of natures art is Brandon. He answers any and all of my child like excited questions with equal enthusiasm, can't beat that. His insight makes me insightful, and in a room full of fossils and organic specimens the outcome is limitless. Never knowing what I'll walk out with is that literal "kid-in-a-candy-store" feeling.However, their prices do reflect the excitement of the place. Thousand year old items don't come cost effectively, but sometimes they do! My latest score was a pair of meteorite ear rings for $25 and a calcite clam chunk for $12!If you can stay out of the tourist trap items, this place is a honey hole. I could wander around all day, albeit half of it conversing with Brandon about what I have found lol. Always a great time, and I will definitely be back. Summer is good for mini golf and splash pad for the kids. They have ice cream that I never sprang for because I couldn't justify the cost(i.e:tourist trap).”
