Danny's Drive In



Tuesday: September 22, 2015 – Essex to Stratford, CT

Red sky in morning! Better listen to the weather report.  Solid overcast but the cloud cover is still high.  As the morning wore on, so did the red sky.  A little overcast but smooth seas and dry with darker clouds to the south and east.  We left at 7:45 headed for Stratford, CT hoping for Thursday at City Island.

 Arriving in Stratford, slips only, we had a pump out and were into a slip by 3:00pm.  We walked to West Marine and on the way stopped at Danny’s Drive In, established in 1935 and under their current ownership since 1985.  Bob ordered a pulled pork sandwich and I had the greasiest hamburger (Crazy Horse Burger) ever with dripping cheese and jalapenos.  Tasted great!  They also had black and whites on their shake menu and knew how to make them!  Danny’s Drive In is an icon not to be missed.  You can read an article about them in February 2013, USAA Today.  Back home we got showers at the marina and settled in.  Pope Frances will be in NYC Wednesday through Friday and we hope that doesn’t affect our travel through New York City.
