Mystic Pizza Pilgrimage: A '80s Movie Fan's Dream
The main draw for me (Kate) to Mystic, CT was the 1988 film Mystic Pizza . Not gonna lie, I’m a big fan of this movie! So when we decided to come up to New England this year, Mystic had to be on the route! The movie Mystic Pizza was inspired by a vacation that Amy Jones (screenwriter) had in this town. We took an evening to enjoy “a slice of heaven” and take in the beautiful town. We walked the main road in downtown, over the drawbridge, and stopped at the Mystic River Park. This park was super active with lots of visitors and even live music. After our walk, we stopped for ice cream at Drawbridge Ice Cream and enjoyed our dessert while people watching.
