Corner Grinder Shop Pizzeria 200 Franklin Avenue, Hartford (860) 296-0590  I grew up a navy brat up and down the East coast. My mother grew up in Hartford and North Kingstown, R.I.

Lena's Restaurant & Catering Pizzeria Park Road, Hartford (860) 528-5365  I've been going to Lenas for over 20 years and the food gets better. There's a better selection and great desserts.

Empire Pizza House Pizzeria 861 New Britain Avenue, Hartford (860) 953-0596  I used to go to this place back in the late 70s. If for no other reason, let's give empire a little credit for still exisitng. A lot of 'em don't, right? Something must be working for the place. I used to get a rockin' eggplant parmesean grinder here...

#6	Jahmske's Caribbean Restaurant Caribbean 1291 Albany Avenue, Hartford (860) 246-7778  Pretty good food for the money you pay. This was our first time eating Caribbean cuisine & must say we liked it. Especially the Goat curry & Jerk chicken.

#7	Coyote Flaco Mexican, Southwestern, Sports Bar and Grill, Banquet/Party Room 50 Higgins Highway, Hartford (860) 423-4414  This is one of the best Mexican restrauant in the area. It is true mexican food.
