I love Noank . This is one of the sweetest seaside villages in the entire state. Located right down the street from Mystic, Connecticut . A very wonderful part of the state. I've been going to Ford's for a number of years. We used to go to get lobsters there. You were able to purchase fresh lobsters that had just come off the boat.  And they didn't get any fresher than Ford's . The Lobster Shack at Ford's is quite famous for being in a scene of Mystic Pizza . Now the scene with Ford's was quick and if you blinked you missed it. We now for's is serving lunch and dinner.

The ultimate was the lobster bomb, made with an entire pound of fresh lobster. You can see for yourself, right here:     You can see the dishes served in the following video, I created.     ...

I recently reviewed my favorite Pizza Movies of all time. You can watch the review here. One of the films I mention is Mystic Pizza . Mystic Pizza was somewhat of a cult movie in that it launched the career of Julia Roberts , who had a leading role in the film. Also featured was Anabeth Gish, and Lili Taylor. The film is less of a pizza movie and more of a coming of age movie analyzing the cultural and female struggles of three high school friends who work at a pizza place. While pizza is featured in the movie, pizza is more of a backdrop for the relationship story. It really is an innocent movie. And I did enjoy it... Although, I give Mystic Pizza , an honorable mention, I may have to re-think my position after uncovering an article published in The Day Newspaper (New London, Connecticut) on Sunday October, 19, 2008. The story written by Kenton Robinson , was an eye opener. Mystic , itself has a piece of my heart because I grew up and went to high school in Southeastern Connecticut...
