Mulberry Street Pizza is about 10 minutes away from the Funny Bone and is some excellent pizza in Manchester. Lucky Taco is also another of my favorites in town, and right next to Urban Lodge Brewery. These are all on Main Street in Manchester.

Hartford has some good options: Max Downtown, Trumbull Kitchen, Fang's, Republic at Linden (really good). Also, Little River Restoratives is a, not-too-well-hidden gem for drinks, I love that place

Fyi: in case it wasn't evident, the Funny Bone isn't in Hartford. It's two quick towns over.
