I love it when my fiance calls me up to grab lunch. The Dutch Tavern is the oldest bar in New London, CT and one of our favorite midday spots. They serve a very traditional american lunch. Peter Detmold (the owner) is the only one you’ll ever find on the grill and thats the way he likes it. It’s also one of the few places left you can eat for under $5. The Dutch is known for it’s burgers, though my favorites are the tuna melt (pictured above) and the Veggie burger. Just make sure you get there before 3:30pm when he shuts down the grill. Oh and don’t forget to say hi to Ellie.
Let us know your favorite lunch spot.

Well, hey there Jessie! Ed told me about this post today. What a treat! *MY* favorite lunch at the Dutch is a cup of soup and 1/2 a tuna melt — with Swiss and Tomato on rye. Yum. And the beers are pretty stinking great, too.
Come over to our blog to visit sometime. My sister Jacquie, our friend Beth and I take turns daily. Jacquie’s today is great; I’m up tomorrow.
