Firestone Art Studio in Manchester has fun pottery or wooden sign making. Its on Main Street and there are several restaurant options - The Main Course, The Main Pub, Mulberry Street (can get very crowded on weekends), Filomena's - or if you venture out a little from that spot there are restaurants in the mall area - your standard chain restaurants (Chilis, Texas Roadhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings) also Artisanal Burger Company is great, Burtons if you want upscale, Red Heat Tavern is middle of the road. There is also a restaurant in South Windsor called the Mill on the River which has been voted in the past as CT's most romantic restaurant. Not too far from the general area. There is a cute bed and breakfast in Manchester in a historic Cheney mansion not more than 5 minutes from Firestone. As someone else mentioned, there is a fairly new candle making place in Manchester as well!

Painting classes at Board and Brush are a lot of fun for a group. And there are studios all over the state.

Cook Shop Plus in W. Hartford Center does cooking classes. There’s a place in Plantsville called Foodology that also does cooking classes.

I have not been to cooking classes at either place so I cannot speak to how good they are, but I’m sure you could find reviews on yelp, etc.

Reply to Hartford Safe Senior Photo Locations?? by tlaw223

The marble staircase inside City Hall is beautiful, but I am not sure if you need permission to photograph in there. Go on hartford.gov and contact the Office of Community Engagement, if they can’t answer that question for you they will send you to the correct department. They are very helpful. Mention that your husband is a resident of Frog Hollow.
