9 Incredible Restaurants To Try In West Hartford, Connecticut
“West Hartford is that special town that combines the best of suburban and urban living (while being so close to rural Connecticut pleasures like hiking the Metacomet Trail or skiing at Ski Sundown in New Hartford). We embrace being part of the Hartford Metro area, with its diversity of cultures, neighborhoods, restaurants, businesses and parks, but we also love our suburban community where neighbors say hi when walking their dogs, where we can bike to work in West Hartford Center in 10 minutes, and where our kids attend top notch neighborhood schools.”
