From its origins as a Connecticut River trading post in 1633, Hartford has become not only the state capital but also the insurance capital of the world, with a slew of historical attractions, a thriving arts and entertainment center, a revitalized riverfront and beautiful parks and public gardens. It was here that the lovable Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were born in the imagination of celebrated author Mark Twain and immortalized on paper during the writer's Hartford years. Twain's home and those of fellow literary figures Harriet Beecher Stowe and Noah Webster are open to the public. The Wadsworth Atheneum, the oldest public art museum in the U.S., houses Pilgrim-Century furniture, the Amistad collection and a special treasure hunt system to entice kids to explore the museum's works. If your timing is right (end of June, beginning of July), you'll catch the Elizabeth Park rose gardens in bloom, but fall is also great for brilliant leaf colors, and spring yields colorful gardens and blossoming trees. For a bird's-eye view of the city, visit the observation deck of Travelers Tower, where you might also spot two resident falcons.

Such a hearty delicious meal! Jerk chicken, oxtail beef, and curried goat to share among us. Jamaican music, a welcoming and helpful server with the most beautiful accent, and a relaxed atmosphere. Loved it all! The restaurant has table service and carryout. While we were there many people came in for to-go orders. It's a popular place!

This place is a nice whole in the wall, sorta speak. The service is kind and patient to help you figure out what to order. Prices are VERY reasonable and many different items to choose from. Some of the foods have an Indian flavor to them. The music playing in the back ground makes for a very chill environment. I can't wait to return.
