In my last CT thread this was brought up, but no conclusion. I believe the Bidwell Tavern in Coventry would be a great place, but we do need more suggestions.

Bidwell Tavern, WHERE? The only places in CT I know how to get to from Albany, New York are Lime Rock Park and Bradley Air Force Base, but if it’s in the western half of the state I could attempt to arrive.

How many dopers are from CT or the CT area (just curious)? I’m in CT myself (Danbury).
