Now that I am an empty nester commuting from Glastonbury to Farmington, I am eating out in new places. Here are my favorites:
http://www.agavehartford.com Best Mexican food ever. My expensive non-profit lawyer took me there. They make the guacamole right in front of you at the table and the Haberno (or something like that) pork taco is heavenly. Sangria is fun too if I’m not driving. Near Civic Center.
http://www.burtonsgrill.com/ Love to eat outside. Have not had a bad dish yet. All the fish is great; amazing burger and fries. I miss their lobster salad in fresh potato chips appetizer. Evergreen Walk in Manchester.
BARCA: http://www.barcahartford.com/home.html I love the tapas – I can try a little of everything. Hartford Seminary friends took us here. My favorites were shrimp empanadas (it’s under “cold tapas” but it’s actually warm); Morrocan chicken lollipop (just the word lollipop makes me happy); and gazpacho. They also make a mean glass of ice tea. In the Design Center in Parkville neighborhood of Hartford. My interior designer has her office in the same building – she is the best: http://www.interioredge.com
Truffles: http://www.trufflesbakery.com Across the street from our new office. Like Panera only homemade: chicken salad wrap, chile, salads, naughty giant homemade chocolate chip cookies, and my favorite: warm cinnamon rolls. (Rita, don’t read this.)
