The rustic vibe inside is beautiful, and they did a great job of maintaining the charm of the former Whittemore estate. My family enjoys their wine a lot more than other CT wineries, and the Adirondack chairs at the fire pits made for a relaxing spot to sit. Looking forward to many more future visits!

At the beginning of the tour, she also made it known that if anyone wanted her to perform a spiritual cleansing/blessing afterward then she would do so. This is very much an activity for people of all levels of interest in supernatural things, from a passing curiosity all the way to dead serious (ba-dum tss) It's also well-suited to new Yale students or anyone with friends/family that go there. A nice portion of the tour dealt with the university, and will give plenty to talk about.

We walked all around the green and Yale's campus while Chrystyne gave us history of the buildings, and the spirits that may haunt them even today. I am by no means a believer in the supernatural, but even still I thought the tour was fun. We were encouraged to take pictures in hopes of catching orbs or other signs of ghosts, and to use a $0.99 phone app that monitored supernatural activity. We didn't buy the app but those who did were beyond interested in it, as it was throwing out words and names that they'd shout out through the tour, this actually added to the fun, and our guide played right along, she was the perfect guide for the tour. Of note: * We didn't see or hear any ghosts and none of our pictures revealed any spirits or orbs, nor did we expect any of that. * My fully charged phone powered down while she told us about the Amistad memorial, and how spirits draw from battery power. Yikes. * At the library, Chrystyne told us about a ghost that was stalked and murdered at that site many years ago. A woman with the ghost app thing said her phone was showing a name, and asked Chrystyne the name of the ghost she had been telling us about, she said "Catherine," which was the name on the app. Much of the tour was fact or history based on the people and the buildings around town, maybe not so much about how they haunt the places, but how ripe the spiritual history of New Haven is. I'm glad we went.

The taste of Hartford 2026 was an opportunity to walk the streets of Hartford looking for something different to taste.

Sometimes, Yelp finds you things that are worth going to, whether it's restaurants, events, or…read moremore. I found this on Yelp Events and honestly, it was a toss-up whether I should go or not. I knew I would only be able to show up on the Saturday for this year as this was my only day off in almost 2 weeks. I checked the weather and decided that if I was gonna go, I would need to be prepared, so I bought myself an umbrella a few days before over at REI's Norwalk location to deal with the rain today. Also, you use tickets that you buy ahead of time if you want to buy anything here. They're $1.10 a ticket. I got 50 tickets in total. It's a 2-day festival, but some things in the event are only available on one day of the two, so you kind of have to pick and choose what you're doing there. Thankfully, when I went I was able to visit the Yelp table to grab myself some souvenirs. I got souvenir box that had hand sanitizer, matches, a mint lip balm, and Yelp sunglasses with UV 400 eye protection. I also got to have a 360 video cam session that was much appreciated from their table. Much like the review before me, I'm not going to review each of the restaurants I went to the food stands for. I feel like in order to leave an honest review, I would need to come back to Hartford at a later date and go to the actual restaurants in person. But I will briefly talk about each of the places I did visit. First there was Hartford Flavor Company where I got to sample a sour cherry shot and a chocolate shot. I preferred the chocolate, but I do get why the sour cherry is a staff favorite. I got what I believe was the lavender toast? It was 8 tickets. Next, I had to stop by Trumbull Kitchen's tent as I had passed by the actual restaurant right after I got off the 928 bus on my way to the festival. I got their Yuzu margarita which was my favorite drink of the day. 10 tickets, and the people there were nice. After that, Black Eyed Sally's. I will say this was my least favorite stop of the 5 I did, but what I got was still pretty good. I had the BBQ Pork sundae, which was supposed to be 14 tickets. I say "supposed to be" because I asked the employee tending to my order to take the tickets needed and she took 15. She wasn't exactly the friendliest person I met that day, but I still got my order quick, so I'm not gonna complain too much. Next, I needed something cold to balance out the heat from the last thing I ate, so I did Capital Ice Cream and got The Hartford Dough Down. This cost me 11 tickets, but service here was much friendlier than at Black Eyed Sally's. The ice cream was probably my favorite food item of the day. Actually, I had wanted to say that to the person I bought my tickets from, but that person was gone when it was time for me to leave. C'est la vie! Lastly, I needed to get rid of my last 6 tickets, so I went over to The Hooker Brewery and grabbed a Chill AF. It costs 5 tickets, but I let them have my final ticket to make 6. They seemed like nice people, and it was a good drink to end off the food tour. Overall, The Hartford Taste is a good time, but if I were to go again, I would make sure not to go on a rainy day. On a nice day, this can really be a great early summer attraction. I still had fun nonetheless and would be down to try it again in the future. Of the places I went to, I would most want to come back to try Hartford Flavor Company, Trumbull Kitchen, and Capital Ice Cream in earnest.

When we finally decided we wanted to book our dream trip, I researched for MONTHS. Ultimately, we decided we were going to need a custom trip to make our dream trip to life. My parents travelled with a large group of family friends to Southern Africa about 12 years ago to celebrate my mom's friend's 50th birthday. She is from South Africa and insisted they all book through Classic Africa. My parents have talked about the trip for years, so, after months of searching online and talking to travel agents I decided it was time to call the folks at Classic Africa. From our first conversation, I knew Classic Africa was right for us. I never felt like they were trying to sell us anything. They were honest about what we should do/where we should stay based on many years in the business. I liked that they are straight shooters--I don't like bad surprises, especially on vacation. In mid-2019, we put down our deposit on our dream trip to Southern Africa, which included stops in Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Fugitive's Drift, Sabi Sands, and Victoria Falls. Then...the pandemic hit and the trip was put on hold. We re-booked for August-September 2021, but we're still unsure if we would be able to travel this year. After much thought, research, and several calls with the Classic Africa team, we decided it was our time. I have to say, the team really outdid themselves with this one. Everything was better than we could have ever imagined. They booked everything for us--hotels, tours, private charter flights, transfers and more. One if the things I was most concerned about with this trip was transportation and safety. The Classic Africa team has been in the business for many years and every last detail went off without a hitch. I could never have planned this trip to the level that they did. If you are thinking about taking a trip to Africa, please give them a call. You won't regret it! I am sure we will go back to Africa at some point and when we do it will definitely be with the help of Classic Africa!
