Yeah, Pepe's and Sally's are great. Worth the trip from Torrington, IMHO. Pepe's is now a CT chain, believe it or not. I haven't had either in so long, though, that I can't quite remember how good they really were when I was gaining that twenty or thirty that comes with living in Wooster Square. Also don't forget Louis' Lunch, which may still be open.
I haven't lived in CT in a long time, so I have no clue about the current nightlife. It was never amazing, just good enough to grab some drinks after eating a tasty pizza. I think I had Sally's last year, but don't get their often. I liked Pepe's but always preferred Sally's. My dad's known some of the family for years so we always got reservations and pre-ordered so we never waited. Always nicer that way.
I'm guessing they're more commercialized now, but while not IPA specialties we had great experiences at Magic Hat 15ish years ago. Love that town.
Foam Brewers is where it’s at in Burlington and very underrated on the way up in White River Junction is River Roost
300 mile radius.
I have always loved Sally’s, it’s my favorite pizza and I’ve had lots of pizza. Had pizza in Milan, Paris and heck even Johannesburg (not the pizza capital). That said, I almost always had reservations so I’ve never had to wait in line and usually knew the servers so never had any issues that you see in their reviews. I haven’t been there since it was sold so I have no clue if anything has changed. It’d be a shame if it has. I still remember the 50th anniversary shirt I got that Gary Trudeau did the artwork for, but that shirt died a long time ago. 
good point. only been there once for an Astros Expos game. I really liked it.
deal, I'll be in Burlington Wednesday night and don't have to be back to Torr until Friday late afternoon.
I am very bummed that I'll miss it by a week. That would have been a no-brainer for me.
Check out the Omni Parker House. A little dated but reasonably priced, good central location for Boston sights and easy T or cab to and from the game, and an *outstanding* whiskey bar. Will not be influenced by parents scooping up rooms near Fenway to visit kids at Boston University.
Saratoga is the best horse racing experience I've had in my entire stupid life. I will never retire and all dreams have been crushed by the weight of a hundred children, but I once fantasized about setting up shot in Saratoga in the late summers to hit the track every day it was open. Wonderful place. Heaven.
Looking at hotels within walking distance, I see
You sell you kids and I'll sell mt beach house and we can buy a bar in Saratoga and retire
Haven't stayed at any of them but the Buckminster is close and a landmark itself. Commonwealth is relatively new and probably nice and very close. I'd take it over the Gryphon House every time. Verb will be hipster swanky, could be for you but I dunno. Photos on Google are prolly representative. Inn at Longwood is furthest out of these, still walkable but it's smack-dab in the middle of the Hospitals and much less vacation-y, imo.
Ummmm, the "Dinosaur" state park has no dinosaurs. It's just hiking trails. And the Mark Twain house is a complete bore.
Same here, A hole in my life that I cannot account for. Many opportunities, but something always cokblocked me.
