Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Trinity students tend to stick pretty close to campus for most aspects of daily life, with one large exception—we eat out. Hartford offers great dining. The city itself is populated with people from all different cultural backgrounds and that fact is shown off superbly by the restaurant choices. There is everything from expensive restaurants for special treats (Max’s Downtown) to everyday restaurants with great food (Timothy’s—don’t forget to try the chocolate cake). There are great Italian sandwich shops (Così) and Middle-Eastern restaurants (Tapas), all-night diners left over from the 1950s (Goldroc) and late-night donut shops (Krispy Kreme—seriously, remember that for finals time). If you head out into the city, you will eat well.

Off-campus dining receives a good mark for variety and quality, though the grade suffers a little due to the fact that you may have to rely on public transportation to actually get to any of these places; the great restaurants are not easy to get to without a car, and the surrounding neighborhoods are not exactly charming.

Ehh

There really isn't anything there. There's no where around where you can go out to get a meal safely or anything, no fancy restaurants either. There really isn't anything to do outside of campus unless you have a car, then you can go places within like 20 minutes

Restaurants in Hartford and West Hartford

Because the neighborhoods around Trinity's campus aren't the nicest, dining directly off campus isn't a very popular option with most students. The best option close to campus is Trinity Restaurant where you will find students Thursday through Saturday night. It has great food and is BYOB so it also makes for a great early pregame spot. If you have access to transportation, there are a ton of great restaurants in West Hartford which is only about a ten minute drive from campus.

Pretty Good Options

Lots of students go out to restaurants in West Hartford, and there are also a few close to campus, like First and Last, where you can use Bantam Bucks. Favorites are Chipotle, Cheesecake Factory, the Counter, and Mo's to name a few.

Did You Know?

A favorite place to eat or just to get a snack and coffee is Così. Along with great coffee and home-made Italian sandwich bread, they also have a “Make-your-own-s’mores” desert option. It is delicious, to say the least!
