Lord help any guy who needs to use the crapper at Eli Cannon's.

Luxury! Any old-timers remember Rapp's?

Yep. That's what became Oscar's, right?

Eli's is fine for ol' no. 1, but the throne is disgusting and right in the open with no stall or divider of any kind, and most times the door doesn't lock.

After ll this marginal food chat, we need a thread describing the crappers in these restaurants. Some of them are shall we say primitive. That's something worthwhile to hilite!

That's so funny because the former drummer in my band has rated every restaurant and bar crapper in the state on a 1-10 scale. Seriously. We did not return to certain places because he didn't like the toilet.

I actually wrote a blog post about the very best and worst bathrooms in New Haven. People found it pretty amusing.

Anybody ever try The Place, outdoor fire-pits, in Guilford? Heard it's a local treasure. Unique.

Haven't been since the late 80s - early 90s.

I was fortunate enough to play CBGBs a couple of times. That bathroom was legendary for its awfulness.

I hung out at CBGB's in the 70's and yeah that bathroom was something else.

If people like Chicken Parm you need to try Figaro's in Enfield……..it's been a while but it was a solid dish for a long while. Excellent sauce, beat down breasts with a crispiness to die for……..

Great place. One of my favorite post-beach places to hang out. I believe it's also BYOB.

Bathrooms? Anyone remember Malone's Bar in New Haven?

Filet at Morton's Steakhouse with a dab or Bernaise sauce and some creamed spinach....Nice.

Morton's has closed.

Wow. Friends of mine just ate there New Year's Eve, it was their tradition for the last decade.

The Place is unique. We ate there years ago and wasn't impressed with the food, so maybe they have I proved.

The Place has been there forever. If you don't mind sitting outside on a log stump with a cable spool for a table on Rte 1, it does offer some interesting items. The roasted corn on the cob and roasted clams special being my favorites. It is BYOB and was (maybe still) BYO salad.
Tends to be kind of pricey for eating in the rough. Pretty simple menu but definitely a different experience.

They've had a lot of turnover in their kitchen lately and other restaurants like Capital Grille have eaten into their cut. I'm not surprised. Who's going into Hartford on a Tuesday night for a Morton's dinner?

Never made it to Morton's, but I think the problem that remains is that you could have ended your last sentence four words earlier.
