A correction is required regarding clam chowder. As well as its relevance to CT. Yes there is clear broth chowder in ct but the state is more so known for its lobster bisque. As far as chowder is concerned “Manhattan” clam chowder is not from New York and is in fact t Rhode Island style chowder while New England clam chowder was developed around the Boston area. Manhattan chowder was first created in Rhode Island by Portuguese immigrants because it was different from New England chowder some local restaurants and food packaging companies started calling it “manhattan” as a means of insult. However because it pairs so well with another Rhode Island classic the clam fritter it is actually far more popular in Rhode Island than its creamy counterpart.
