The Library is, indeed, the site of Wallingford’s old town library. The restored circa 1899 building in historic downtown offers traditional and unique twists on Portuguese and Mediterranean cuisine, pizza, dessert, wines from around the world and unique cocktails.

“This martini is a tasty balance of sweet and sour, where the tanginess of the fresh blood orange puree intermingles with the sweetness of the elderflower,” said Crooker. “It’s just a twist on the cosmopolitan where the blood orange replaces the cranberry and the St. Germain replaces the triple sec.”
