Hartford is considered a food desert. You have to drive to any grocery store other than smaller bodega-like ones.

This is very true I think New Britain has really great food options though especially if you like pierogis and sausage !

I am hoping to find some linguica there (I have Portuguese blood in me) but if I can't find any there, thankfully Fall River isn't too far away.

Ohh I had to look that up haha but New England is interestingly diverse and I only know that because I’m in the linguistics industry myself and I worked for a small local language company up in Connecticut. Lots of Balkan, Eastern European, Puerto Rican, and Cuban folk up there. I’m sure you’ll be able to find it in one of the many euro markets up there.

I am not seeing grocery stores in downtown, but there are some not too far away like Key Food Supermarkets and Stop and Shop. Sadly I wished the city had more options.
