Astonishingly beautiful, absolutely definitive Connecticut small town. Like most great Connecticut towns, has a "Green", and unlike most, the Green is still the center of town. Manages to be both richer than anyone you know, but still unpretentious -- and unlike some towns, doesn't rely on overaggressive
policing to maintain it. To wit: I and several of my friends once
romped around
on the Green for two hours, circa 2-4am, and not only didn't get
tossed out (or worse, tossed into a police
cruiser), but we didn't see another soul. Also -- although this goes back ten, fifteen years -- the "Town Restaurant" (I think that used to be its actual name!) serves a fantastic hamburger in a classic pub/tavern setting. No, there's not much "to do" in Litchfield, but if you want to experience Connecticut....its one of our proudest examples. This is what you think of when you think "Connecticut".

''Why, in Litchfield, of course!''
