Boating attractions at the waterfront

From "Envision Norwich! Submit An Idea"

Go to the project

Norwich should be a tourist destination by boat! With the waterfront under development, I'd love to see a steamboat sightseeing/sunset/dinner cruise and a mini-tugboat service that takes people to Mohegan Sun, and the new Preston promenade. More reasons for people to park, stroll, eat, and enjoy Norwich waterfront.

Also, why isn't Norwich and/or the historical society doing more of a push for businesses to utilize the rich history. Like, call a bar Benedict's or Arnolds, and have a life size statue of the bad boy on the street. Or a life size statue of Uncas at an eatery, featuring some dishes that were influenced by the Mohegan and Pequot tribes, like Three Sisters stew, clam cakes, Indian pudding, succulent venison, and fry bread.... so people can remember their history or learn about it interactively in real time!

Tourism by boat is a great idea and something that we are already currently working on as an adder to the in-progress waterfront developments for all the reasons you stated and more! In terms of the History section, I agree that when utilized correctly it can bring more life to an area and place. The names, branding, and dishes of a restaurant are completely in the hands of the business owner. However, I do agree that the ideas would be a cool addition to anyone's menu.
