Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Scone

A chase scene set in 1957 from the new Indiana Jones movie was shot in New Haven, CT, and the city wants to celebrate.  They are planning an Indiana Jones-themed festival for this Saturday that will include music, classic cars used in the film, and contests.  Claire Criscuolo, owner of Claire's Corner Copia, has created a new scone for the event, named Kingdom of the Crystal Scone.  This scone will contain crystallized ginger, cranberries, and blueberries.  Sounds like reason enough to show up!

I was working at Yale last summer during the filming, and Spielberg himself was nice enough to hold an impromptu Q&A with our kids one afternoon about directing movies.  I was standing directly across from Harrison Ford's stunt double!

The Roadfood review has Claire's listed in the Mexican restaurant category. The local weekly, The New Haven Advocate has them listed as the best vegetarian restaurant with no reference to any Mexican/Spanish food.
