Town #33: Middletown

Have dinner at It's Only Natural in Middletown, Connecticut. Since coming to Connecticut it is one of only two vegetarian restaraunts I have found here. (The other is Claire's in New Haven.)

And besides being important to me for being the location of my first date with my boyfriend, it also has some very good food. It's Only Natural is funky and eclectic.

They sometimes add interesting wines to their list. For a while they were serving Ladybug Red which uses ladybugs instead of insecticide to protect the growing grapes. It has a nice mellow taste; quite affordable and enjoyable.
