Last night I went to pick up a bottle for tonight at the packie and came across Dreaming Tree wine! I was so excited! I had no idea they carried it. I didn't expect to ever have it since it can't be shipped into Mass, and I didnt think anyone would carry it. I was so excited I bought 4 bottles

Has anyone tried it? I got 2 of the crush and 2 of the other red. I'll probably go back this weekend for the white!

Yay! I still have a bottle of the Crush and the chardonnay someone gave me as a gift. Not usually a fan of chardonnay, so if I don't like it maybe I'll use it to make sangria or something.

I did have the Crab, it wasn't bad.

Slow for us, I think we have maybe 40 cars here right now. It was a slow winter, since we didn't get much snow.

I do customer care and sales estimates (like walk in estimates). Are you at a dealership or a collision shop?

Wow, that seems cheap, I thought they were more than that.

Nice! My brother went to college for the Chrysler tech program, but he no longer works in the industry. Where in CT are you? I used to do auto claims for a very large insurance company and we handled the Northeast. I'm familiar with a lot of shops in CT.

There are a lot of great options!

I hear the Saratoga Diner has closed, so what about a place for corned beef hash?

Also, are there any places that are open AFTER the shows? It seems to be a serious issue finding food after 10 pm in the US.

New Britain is where we are located. Schaller Auto Body is probably the biggest we deal with

Yeeeaaa, unfortunately it did close. I'm not sure about where to get corned beef hash, there's a place called the Country Corner Cafe that may have what you are looking for. For late night eats, head to Caroline Street and hit up Esperantos http://www.go2esperanto.com/, try the doughboy, it's their specialty. Their mini burritos and chimichangas are also good. There's also a pizza place down a little further on Caroline called D'Andrea's that is good for late night munchies.

O.M.G. 3:30 am??? Fan-fucking-tastic!

[41Saratoga]

There's also a diner called Compton's on Broadway. It opens when the bars close.

Yea, they mainly cater to the bar crowd, although they are open during the day. The place is generally packed from about midnight until they close. Their pizza is pretty good too, although some would disagree with me on that. I have friends who say they can only eat the pizza when they're drunk!

If all else fails, there is a Denny's just north of the city!
