An Excruciatingly Opinionated Guide to the Connecticut Shoreline

About the-e-list weekly newsletter


The-e-list is a free weekly email newsletter about all good things on the Shoreline of Connecticut. There is plenty going on between New London and New Haven but the art venues, fashion destinations, food purveyors and restaurants are spread out and often hard to find.

Who makes a stunning floral arrangement? Where’s the best wine selection? What’s the go-to salon?  We’ll announce the sales and events that matter, the must-have items of the season and tell you where to eat and what to do this weekend.

Sign up for your weekly copy (delivered straight to your inbox on Wednesdays) by filling in the Sign Up box. Thanks and we hope you enjoy the-e-list and tell your friends!

About the-e-list directory


This website is a Guide to the Best of the Shoreline and an archive of everything that's been on the weekly e-list newsletter. Here you will find all the shops, restaurants, art venues and destinations we've written about on the-e-list. We've included a searchable archive of past newsletters and articles.  We've added an events calendar to keep you up to date on what's happening. Our weekly 1/2 price deal, Shoreline Perks, is here, too.  And because we like to look at pretty houses, you'll find a curated selection of real estate under Dream Houses. We hope the new e-list directory will help you plan your life on the Shoreline.

 

About Erica


 Anyone in the fashion industry will tell you it's impossible to get out, but I finally did.  After 25 years of owning and buying for specialty retail companies, I launched the-e-list. I have an eye for style, a strong opinion and a knack for knowing what's coming next. My friends think I'm a blabbermouth.  Due to my inability to say no, I am a fanatic volunteer in my community, my daughter's school and my favorite art institution, the Florence Griswold Museum.  In my spare time, I am a wife and mother of a teen-age daughter.

 

 Editorial Policy


The-e-list welcomes submissions and we receive wonderful ideas from our readers. While we try to acknowledge every single one, sometimes we get flooded and emails get buried. We’re very sorry when that happens.

We receive lots of email about charitable events and typically we publish one per week based on the order we received the submission and what we think will most interest our readers.

The main body of the-e-list will always be our excruciating opinion. We receive no compensation for editorial content. The right hand column is paid advertising for products, services and events that we think our subscribers will be interested in. We hope you support our advertisers, as their sponsorship keeps us writing the e-list and sending it to you for free!

p.s. Oh, and we’ll never share your email.
