Chaplin's, New London I pricked up my ears when a friend phoned recently to tell me about Chaplin’s. It’s a storefront and looks like one. The interior is neat and clean but a bit spare. There’s an open kitchen in the back but it’s half hidden by the bar, which juts into the room and makes the restaurant at first glance seem smaller than it is. In short, it doesn’t look like much, but don’t judge a restaurant by its decor. by Elise Maclay
	The Mansion at Bald Hill, South Woodstock The Mansion at Bald Hill is the genuine article—a four-story, 21-room private residence on a 91-acre spread known as “the hill.” It was built in 1892 by Roxanna Wentworth Bowen, heiress to the Pullman train fortune. She used it as her summerhouse. In recent years it has served a number of purposes, most recently as a B&B. Now, under new management, it has added a full-scale restaurant. Dinner in a mansion? Who could resist? Not me. by Elise Maclay
