Fun Things to do in Connecticut – Part II

There are plenty of fun things to do in Connecticut, no matter what the season, hence why I’m sharing Part II…

 

Low Cost Indoor Event:

Attend the annual Northeast RV & Camping Show at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT

 

These RV’s are sweet!  Much larger on the inside than they appear~

 

Nice shower!

 

Love the indoor mood lighting and ambience…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Free Family Fun:

Go to the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New Haven, CT

 

Fun time driving Jocelyn Maminta on the 2018 NHV parade route in the News 8 Range Rover!

 

Loved hanging out with the News 8 team on the 2018 NHV parade route: Mark Davis, Keith Kountz and Jocelyn Maminta.

 

Jocelyn Maminta was born to be in a parade 🙂

 

Three of the News 8 meteorologists and News 8 team on the 2018 NHV parade route

 

Awesome time driving Jocelyn Maminta in New Haven’s 2018 St. Patrick’s Day Parade.  News 8 team leads the way…

 

Good (One Price) Eating:

Check out a restaurant or two or three at the bi-annual (Spring) New Haven Restaurant Week – New Haven, CT

 

Spring New Haven Restaurant Week – Pacifico   Restaurant

 

Prix Fixe Dinner at Pacifico -(The Shops at Yale) salmon, side dish, beet salad, malbec, coconut ice cream – yummy!

 

Harvest Wine Bar & Restaurant (The Shops at Yale)  Delish Prix Fixe lunch – salmon with julienne carrots and beets, side salad, dessert and lemon water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brew Baby:

Hang out at one of Connecticut’s most talked about new breweries:  Brewport – Bridgeport’s CT’s Brewery and Restaurant where the only thing on the menu to eat is specialty pizza and gourmet salads…

 

What Brewport is famous for…

 

The humungous bar…

 

Me and my girl squad outside on Brewport’s deck; Brewport serves wine too; family sized salad – enough for 4 “hangry” girls; veggie pizza – delish!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connecticut’s Live Theater:

Check out Cameron Mackintosh’s version of Phantom  – Waterbury Palace Theater – Waterbury, CT

 

This spectacular production played out very well in the stately Waterbury Palace Theater

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or Beautiful at the legendary Shubert Theater, New Haven, CT

 

The lead in Carole King’s Beautiful could blow!

 

Shubert’s OnStage event for Beautiful – hung out with Robbin S, listened to the local musicians and hung out at “The Bitter End.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or Crowns at Long Wharf Theater, New Haven, CT

 

Me and my girlfriend Mia loved this gospel musical celebration which appealed to theater goers young and old

 

The costumes and of course “Crowns” were spectacular and a show all by themselves

That’s it for now.  So remember, there are plenty of fun things to do in Connecticut and some are even low cost or free so enjoy!
