West Hartford is a town for those who like to eat and shop.
What it's known for: West Hartford Center
New England Custom Blurb:
Most towns in New England have what is called a town center or green. In the Midwest we have squares where the courthouse is located (often in the center and then literally squared by other buildings). While the concept is similar the look of centers versus squares is dramatically different. For instance a town center usually has a much more fluid design and a lot more green space. The square concept generally has a more industrial look.
West Hartford's Center is probably one of the more well-known in the state. It is also large. I don't know if anyone is keeping a record of the size of town centers, but this one is so large it's hard to know where it ends and the rest of the town begins. We've been to quite a few restaurants there such as: Elbow Room, Shish Kabab Restaurant of Afghanistan, Tapas, and Mediza. All of these are great and we'd recommend any of them for good food and a fun evening.
