Going to Louisville game on Saturday, need a brunch spot near XL

[Ralph]

Will probably park around 10:30 to be at XL by 11:30

I've been to Vaughn's Public House across the street and Black-Eyed Sally's around the corner. Both seem ok, but check their hours.

I second Milford's recommendation of Vaughn's Pup and Black-Eyed Sally's. Neither is gourmet dining. More like comfort food. Vaughn's is a burger joint, Sally's is New Orleans in New England. And yes, check their hours. Downtown Hartford is a ghost town on the weekends.

They open at 11:30 and noon, Looks like Chick Filet at the XL center. You would think they would open before a Saturday game, they would be the only "game" in town.

You say brunch... I think there's a location of Place 2 Be downtown.

Hartford restaurants seem reluctant to change their hours to accommodate 10,000 or more people attending an XL event. Probably easier to get an early dinner/late lunch after the game.

There’s also A Place 2 Be in New Haven. I enjoyed it there
