A little far, but I believe New Haven has a Liverpool support club that meets at Trinity Bar. LFC New Haven.

Eta: The Cannon is the other big soccer bar down here. Home of an Arsenal club (New Haven Gooners). The Playwright Irish pub in Hamden might have games on as well. Maybe your husband can contact one of these soccer clubs and find something similar in Hartford.

Thanks!!

2nd Bridge, a brewery in Manchester will often have soccer games on.

Premier league

What’s PL stand for?

Oh yay! That’s good to hear. I miss her classes.

Sarah still teaches at Toivo

The Redstone in Simsbury is a Liverpool bar, they open early on weekends when Liverpool is playing.

But the game is on at 3:00, so any bar that’s open and has TVs (it’s on Peacock, but most bars should have that) should have it on. In Hartford check out Vaughans or the Half Door. Both are sort of European pubs, call them up and confirm. Vaughans is downtown, the half door is in the west end. The Wood n Tap in the west end, they have their own parking lot which is nice, should also have it on

Thanks for the advice. It’s invaluable! Also thanks for pointing that out about the types of yoga in the area. I think I noticed it but didn’t know what to do about the discrepancy. You’re entirely right. I might see if Sarah Balkan is still teaching and I know Lisa who used to teach the early morning power class at VASU has a studio in Vernon. She was really good despite it being a power class.

Totally agree, they were very special teachers! And it's so hard to find non-power, non-heated yoga in this part of CT, which made it that much better.

I have some back and shoulder issues, as well as just general stiffness and find that teachers with 500 YTT hours tend to pay more attention to students' reactions, and are wayyyyy more appreciative of modifications, cuing support with blocks, etc. I always look for that if possible when trying a new studio.

If you do try Afterglow, you might try Jane Krantz. I did some of her pre-recorded classes during the pandemic through Vasu and thought she had good flow. I just read on their site that she has restorative training, which is also super helpful for me. Report back if you go!

Awww that’s disappointing. I should try that studio. It kind of looked intense. I’ve been going to one in Wethersfield but they seem to run through the same positions and I don’t feel like I’m learning and improving the way VASU was. They had such a good way of teaching and noticing when my body needed a different variation and communicating that respectfully and encouragingly.

From Instagram, I thought one of them moved west, pretty permanently. I was bummed, VASU was a great studio and I loooooved their sprays and oils. Afterglow is a newer yoga studio in the same building with at least one of the other teachers from VASU, but I’ve never been.

I've seen more rats in nyc during a day trip than I've seen living in Hartford for the last 17 years

> How is that being ignorant?

For the reasons i outlined in the rest of my comment. You are wholly incorrect and it is a sentiment often regurgitated by those who dont spend much time in the city or havent for some time. There are 2 CVS's, a walgreens, dozens of markets, delis and bodegas, and there are 2 gas stations all within walking distance. Stop and Shop, Walmart and Aldis <5 drive away and they are all on bus line. CTown and Whole Foods also ~5 mins away. Stop downtown sometime and walk around a bit, everything is at your fingertips.

I've worked in downtown Hartford for 30 years and if you're downtown, there's few options, and these businesses come and go, for shopping, etc. CVS is about it, the and the bodega that is opposite it on Main St. How is that being ignorant? I was thinking of what is accessible within walking distance.

CT is amazing. Why not live in Hartford proper though? That way you're in the center of everything, and you can walk places. Many of the towns farther out from Hartford are not walkable at all, although there are a few nice sections like West Hartford center, Wethersfield, Manchester etc. You might also want to check out areas along the shoreline (New Haven, Branford etc) since you also get easy access to the beach/ocean, not just forest trails.

From time to time a unit in a 2 or 3 family house becomes available. Those are often really good choices.

We are considering west hartford for sure and dont need the "metropolitan" of downtown but casting a wide net.

Do you know of any apartments that you would recommend or put on the no-fly zone?

There is also grocery delivery. I see Instacart, Whole Foods/Amazon, and PeaPod (Stop & Shop) deliveries in my building almost daily.

How much are you looking to spend? Lots of great buildings downtown. Id check out 179 Allyn, Union Place, 55 on the Park, Teachers Corner, Spectra Pearl, Front Street Lofts, 777 Main, Capital Lofts. All offer great value and living.

Hartford 21, Colt Building, The Pennant, Spectra Park, Park and Main are all very nice but cost more.

/u/MrA860 laid out a pretty good geographic footprint that i would adhere too no matter where you go though.

This comment screams ignorance. There are 2 gas stations downtown and 3 large grocery stores <5 min drive away. Those grocery stores are on a bus line too if you cant drive. Literally dozens of bodega's and markets downtown to supplement this.

There are 2 garages one directly across the street next to salute and one on the other side of spectra half a block away. Ample street parking too; which is free on weekends and outside of 9-5.

You should be absolutely fine around Main and Temple. The North side of the stadium is where it gets rough. You'll see it pretty clearly when you come visit.

Just wanted to say hi from another Philly transplant in my early 40s! 👋🏻 Downtown is very different now than it was 8 years ago. There are a lot of nice places to live. I've worked downtown for the past 8 years and used to live on the West End (in the Clemens Place Apartments). Your main issue is that it's still a bit of a food desert when it comes to groceries, but as long as you have a car, you're fine. On that note, car break ins are still the main crime issue downtown. If you can find a place with a parking garage, you should be in pretty good shape - none of my coworkers or I have ever had a break in issue in our parking garage. Otherwise, just be careful to always lock your car and don't leave anything of value in it.
