This is a really fun place that is always packed. We have never been on the weekend. They always have fun events going on and great specials. Most people go for the craft beers, but the food is great too.

Not as authentic as the smaller Mexican restaurants in Wilimantic, but better for sitting down to eat. A great atamospheere and fun restaurant. It has a weird schedule for being open so check their site before you go.

This is the place to go if you're a picker! Locally run by a super friendly gentleman and his daughter. They have piles of stuff and if you don't see what you're looking for, just ask they probably have it in storage. They have a lot of pictures and pictures with all kinds of odds and ends. The owner will bargain with you.
