What does parking look like at the Venue?

Parking is free, however, the Pond House is inside of Elizabeth Park so parking can be further away from the actual venue than expected. Parking closer to the venue requires you to parallel park. There is handicapped parking available in front. We recommend that if you plan on drinking, you use the shuttle bus we are providing!

Looking for Local Brunch/Lunch Spots in Hartford? Here is a list of our favorites/ recommendations:


Breakfast/Brunch:

1. The Place to Be

https://www.place2bect.com/

This is a great brunch spot that is a 5 minute uber away from The Goodwin. Make sure you get a reservation because it is a popular place. There are great coffee drinks, bloody mary's, and amazing breakfast options here.

2. Dono Cafe

Looking for a quick coffee? Dono is a great place to stop by and get a quick coffee to go.

3. Red Rock Tavern

https://www.redrocktavern.com/

Just a short uber ride from the hotel, this breakfast/brunch spot is amazing. It is affordable, has great food, and serves mimosas.

4. Juiced Up Juice Bar

This pick up only spot has great smoothies, wraps, and salads and is located right next to The Goodwin.


Lunch:

1. Black Eyed Sallys Southern Kitchen and Bar-

located right across from The Goodwin, this spot has delicious food. We picked it as a lunch spot because they only serve brunch on Sundays.

2. Bahn Mee -

This is a literal hole in the wall spot right next to The Goodwin. The food here is fantastic and its perfect for a Saturday late lunch. All the food is order at their kiosk or ahead of time on their website and the cooks will bring out the food within 15-20 minutes. If you can get a table there great, but don't expect to get one, this place is tiny.

3. Urban Lodge Brewing-

This place is great for a mid afternoon drink and lunch. They have snacks and apps as well as sandwiches and hamburgers.
