Mrs. Bridges’ Pantry (Closed)

Cheerio! Have You Anything to go with my Cheerios? “A Little Slice of Britain,” Woodstock November 7, 2009 Mrs. Bridges' closed in early 2019. I try to limit the stuff I write about in these untamed sections of the blog. I really do. The stores have to be very, very unique or interesting to make the CTMQ … [Read more...]

Polish Food at Polish National Home

ZachwycajÄ…cy! Polish National Home, Hartford June 2009 In researching this write-up I came across the same theme over and over. So I'll follow tradition and dispense with the mild cliché right off the bat - The Polish National Home is one of the worst kept secrets in Hartford. It's hidden in plain sight. I … [Read more...]

Tour Stop 12: One Last Meat Up for Soccer

Game 19 Brazil Grille, Hartford July 8, 2006 Our last stop on the World Cup Tour 2006 was, for me, the most anticipated. I had previewed the Brazil Grill restaurant the week prior by popping my head in during the group play Japan game. Even though it was a Thursday afternoon and the game meant absolutely nothing … [Read more...]

Tour Stop 11: God Save the Beckham

Game 18 The Half Door, Hartford June 27, 2006 As with most Americans, I'm a bit of a mutt; A Germano-Scotch-English one. I suppose I'm mostly English, but I look a bit more Scottish I'm told. At any rate, I find a part of me cheering on the Brits at this point in the World Cup. We pasty white guys need to stick … [Read more...]

Tour Stop 9: Ed Has a Heart After All

Game 16 Goal International Sports Bar, Hartford June 22, 2006 At this point, I'm only writing this blog entry for the sake of consistency. Because our first attempt at a "Brazilian day" was a bit of a failure. Albeit a fun and delicious failure. We opted to watch the game versus Australia on Sunday at Goal … [Read more...]

Tour Stop 8: Italian Whine

Game 15 Francesca's Ristorante, Hartford June 18, 2006 Despite my apparent zeal for the World Cup, I've never really been a soccer super fan. Sure, I played up through 9th grade like every suburban kid in America. And yeah, I paid attention maybe a little bit more than others to things like the World Cup, but … [Read more...]

Game 11, Mexico vs. Angola Ay Chihuahua Mexican Restaurant and Cantina June 16 , 2006 Since it was Friday and since it was a nice hot day here in central Connecticut, Ed and I figured that we simply had to take in the Mexico vs. Angola game at a true Mexican cantina. Now, Hartford has a massive Hispanic … [Read more...]

Games 6 & 7 My living room and The Cambrense Cafe in Hartford June 11, 2006 Day three of the World Cup had another 3 matches on tap, two of which I planned to take in. After yesterday's indoctrination, Damian was ready to roll again today. The Netherlands were matched up against Serbia and Montenegro. Two on … [Read more...]

Tour Stop 2: POLSKA!

Game Number 2 Poland vs. Ecuador, Stadion Cafe in New Britski June 9, 2006 Stadion Cafe is no longer open. Ed and I arrived on New Britski's Broad Street about half an hour before the 3PM kickoff of Poland and Ecuador. I drove up and down the length of the Little Poland section of the city and Ed marvelled at … [Read more...]
