Sturbridge - Lunch Suggestions
 

We're doing a day trip to Sturbridge, for the quilt fabric shop in the old Wright's mill and antique shops, not the Village. Any suggestions for a light, casual (shorts/jeans) lunch -- other than the fast food burger places? Salad, glass of wine, yummy dessert sort of place. <BR>Also, any "don't miss" shops? <BR>Thanks

there's a really nice restaurant called "The Publick House" which serves old fashioned, New England type fare. It might be a little nicer than you are looking for, although I'm pretty sure you can wear jeans or shorts at lunch time. Chowder, lobster pie, and Indian Pudding are the specialties.

<BR>The Publick House would be my recommendation also.Delightful and delicious.

<BR>The Publick House is very nice but there is a place closer for you to the Mill called the Ugly Duckling (?) it is a loft above the Whistling Swan Great desserts!! Also while you are in the Mill visit the ribbon shop great buys. There is a new bed and breakfast called the Hearthstone Inn and the owners have a furniture shop right next door. All the furniture in the B&B is made by them. We just happened upon it this weekend and loved it, even bought two chairs.
