Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 2789593, member: 181"] Quick recap: Six flavors into two medium cups of Dairy Bar ice cream before a hiking along the Horsebarn Hill ridge - mint chocolate chip, black raspberry, salted caramel crunch, banana chocolate chip, peach, and mocha espresso of some sort. Exceeded the hype, and I hate & fear hype. We were delayed at check-in by a chatty Airbnb host, so that we only got a hit-the-spot carnitas burrito at Willimantic's Tacos la Rosa to bring into the Mansfield Drive-in and accompany our cherries & wine. We added good popcorn from the concession during intermission that featured a great Jay Ward-animated timer. Papa's had shutdown the fryolator early when we got there and we were pressed for time, so we left empty-handed,but liked the giant green neon arrow and friendly folks inside. Sunday's rain all but killed the outdoor flea market vendor lineup, and muted the crowds at the Coventry Farmers Market, where we got an excellent fried chicken sandwich & potato salad, plus a half-dozen freshly shucked clams and a complimentary oyster. A jerk chicken combo and fried chicken wings w/sides kept us happy at the Hartford Festival of Jazz. Tucked inside a Sportbrella, we stayed pretty protected from the intermittent rain that ultimately dowsed those who hung on for the Azar Lawrence Experience closing things out. Along with Jocelyn Pleasant and the Lost Tribe, and Mike Casey Trio w/Benito Gonzalez, the music was top notch and well worth the trip. We'd definitely do it again: budget-friendly, zero summer weekend traffic, and closer than NYC, Tanglewood, Northampton, Providence, Newport, Hudson River Valley, and other overnight trios we've done on short notice.
