The neighborhood enjoys attending performances at the University of Hartford's Mort & Irma Handel Performing Arts Center, where attendees imbibe in light fare and specialty coffees at the Backstage Cafe following a play or recital.

I personally think that living in Hartford is amazing because I have access to anything and everything. I'm a bus ride away from wherever I may need or want to go. The buses run so often, day or night. The amount of restaurants there are - Jamaican, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portguese, the list goes on. There's lots of businesses, like dentist offices, doctor's offices, hospitals, schools. I just love being in the center of everything, its like a little world in the palm of my hand. I don't understand how people don't like living in the city, I love it !!!
