How about Kent Ct? Less than a mile from the trail and everything from upscale dining to pizza and chinese food. The grocery is good for long term resupply and there's a brand new laudromat. II Cat and I connected a dot up there this Spring and really enjoyed our stopover In Kent.
"every day's a holiday, every meal a feast"
1st stop would be kent with everything mentioned above.
2nd would be Cornwall bridge about 1 mile from the trail with a post office,general store,outfitter,package store.You can also camp at the state campground ( HOUSATONIC MEADOWS )about a mile down rt.7- on the river for a small fee.
3rd would be Falls village - there is the mountainside cafe about 1/4 off the trail with great food.Don't stop at the gas station there when coming off the trail- I hear the owner is not hiker freindly.
4th stop will be Salisbury Ct. about 1 mile off trail with a post office,supermarket and some upscale eating.
Have a great hike.

Check the "Articles" section of this website; there is a lot of information there on food and re-supply that you might find useful.
Here's the online Companion for that section in a PDF. CT starts on page 11
