“Stopped at a great little spot in Old Lyme today— Hallmark Drive In for lunch. Sorry no pictures. The food was great! We shared the clam strip platter and the grilled hotdog platter (with curly fries). Both choices were delish! The clams were flavorful and very tender. The “dog” was grilled just the way we like it. The servers were delightful too! Next time we stop by I think I’ll try their 🦞 roll! They also have great ice cream!”

6 The Ice Cream Shop at Nature's Art Village

4.5 Superb 6 Reviews

1650 Hartford-New London Turnpike, Oakdale · 9.76 miles

“I live nearby so I'm in there often. The staff has always been helpful, they carry a wide array of different gemstones, beads, and fossils, and prices aren't bad. i bought a beautiful stone I was expecting to be close to a hundred dollars for less than $20. i highly recommend. Side note: The mini golf course is VERY challenging. I was an "age restriction" complainer until I played it. It's very beautiful though.”

Would give sweet P's 10 out of 5 starts if I could, they deserve a raise for how polite they where.”

“I had my first Diary Queen ice cream at the Niantic branch, the heath cup-achino - it had caramel, a chocolate fudge and whippy ice cream. (I can’t remember the exact name. I will definitely have it again and take a photo next time!) It was a sundae. Huge portions. I shared mine with my other half. There was a long queue as everyone was there after the Memorial Parade. I didn’t mind waiting. There’s lots of car parking space outside. It was a take away. The only thing I was sad about was there was no coffee ice cream on the menu. I get that this place is for children, the menu was huge. You don’t want children bouncing off the walls, but adults love ice cream too.”
