Gamecraft in Southington - Drinking and arcade

I'm not sure if it's open now, but the Storrs Adventure Park is pretty fun if you like outdoors stuff and are, well, adventurous.

The only solutions are built solutions. Speed bumps, constricted roadways, hard barriers around bike paths, etc. Let the distracted pricks take their carelessness up with concrete instead of flesh.

Absolutely, and minimize parking on Farmington.

A sub-$100 tattoo is going to be complete shit. You'd be better off committing a felony and getting a better tattoo in the clink for two packs of smokes.

Hike Talcott Mountain in Simsbury then grab a bite to eat in Collinsville (ex Lasalle)

Art Cinema

You wrote up such a nice list! Def gonna try some spots You suggested!

If you're willing to venture to the eastern part of the state and the coast, there's old mystic village, the mystic seaport. And downtown mystic is very nice. Mohegan's Comix club is pretty fun too, the comedians are great and many are there for several weeks at a time. Gay city state park in Glastonbury is great for hiking and bringing doggos if you have one. Mansfield Hollow and the Airline trail are very nice too.

Hammonasset Beach State Park doesn’t have large waves but it has very nice scenery, nature preserve, and walking trails.

I greatly prefer winter hiking over summer provided it’s about 30 or so. No bugs, no humidity/dripping sweat, and you can see much farther with unblocked views.

CFPA website has over 800 miles of marked trails.

Go to game craft in Southington. My wife and I also go rock climbing at Rock Spot in Wallingford. There’s a place called central rock in Glastonbury too. We’ve really enjoyed that.

The Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford

The Yale Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art (both free)

A ton of local music venues have shows most weekends for under $20

Go have a beer and throw some axes

Escape room

Barcade

If you don't mind being a little chilly, CT has more state parks than almost any other state in the country

Any decent shop is going to have an hourly fee of at least $150 an hour and a one-hour minimum. Plus tip.

I have never been, but based on your interests have you tried Hall's Archery in Manchester? Bonus it is right across from amazing Mexican food at Three Amigos Taqueria.

Hartford wolf pack games are always fun

😂😂

If you ski or board, mount southington is extremely small but IMO fun and pretty damn cheap. No idea how conditions are this year though. Believe they host some other events rest of the year too

all trails is a pretty great app for hiking. eastern ct has some cool waterfalls you can hike to.

Hey y’all! I just moved out of Central CT. The best hike I ever found was Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington. There is some rock climbing there too if you’d like. The Trout Brook Trail in West Hartford is a nice flat, paved walk if you prefer, then you could grab lunch in the center. There’s bowling on the Berlin Turnpike and if you like arcades, they have a Dave and Buster’s in Manchester.

Alright well “the edge tattoo” in south Windsor is doing $100 flash tattoos they’re really good and pretty central, I was there today. If you’re not afraid of a drive ancient visual arts tattoo shop in Pawcatuck (RI border) is doing $20 flash ($13 tat with a $7 tip for the artist) limiting to 2 at a time then you can get back in line.

Smack dab bullseye center

Oh I’m not looking for anything big I just was looking for somewhere with tiny flashes for $31 or something. Not trying to burst your bubble but I know quality cost money especially with tattoos.

I’m not sure if they are having any specials, but Lucky Rose Tattoo in Middlebury is AMAZING!!! My entire family goes there and in October we had a family party there and seven of us got new tats. Rob and Mike are great!!
