Dulce de Leche Can Get Messi 765 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford Several visits between 1999 & 2016 When I renewed my promise to myself to write as much original content for CTMQ as I can in mid-2016, I also promised to try to do more food stuff.

Where is "Jewish?" Bishop's Corner, West Hartford October 2015 This is my first "food/restaurant" post in the "CT Restaurant Tour of the World" section in which I flew solo.

The Rock’s Rock

The Rock's Rock West Hartford If only Picozzi would give this rock to The Rock, it could be The Rock’s The Rock Rock. And that would totally rock. I’m not going to waste our time here.

West Hartford’s Town Trails Intro

West Hartford's "Other Trails" Ok, look. I live in West Hartford. I own a house here and I'm raising my kids here - and I rather enjoy it. But we have almost no green space. If I were to exclude the MDC property, which I should because it's not West Hartford's land, we have next to nothing. The list below … [Read more...]

Taqueria Tavern Mexican Soda

Yo Quiero Taqueria Tavern Taqueria Tavern, West Hartford I'm sure there are several other Mexican joints around the state that make their own sodas, but I think visiting one will sort of cover the gamut.
