Reins is good (probably the best in this part of the state), but it is not as good as a real New York Deli. JMHO Jay

Pizza here is not bad

well in Vernon- and Manchester- next town over-
Yes Reins is great- the food here is not Indiana- not By a long shot,

Somers is the extreme western part of eastern CT- great sushi in Vernon, and Italian, and Asian.

It aint the Carnegie...but Reins pastrami blows the doors off of Ben's Kosher on LI(theyve gotten lazy over the years...I guess for them they have a captive audience so they can), JMHO.

I'll second what Drifter mentioned with Rein's. It's a great NY style Deli, practially a stone's throw from Somers. Your time figures seem accurate except Providence might be a bit further. Other than that, I think you'll transition well in Somers. There's one bakery I'm familiar with in Hartford, Mazzicato's, which is for all relative purposes, on par with NY.

Hartford does have Mozzicato's- which is excellent; but also

First & Last Bakery Café (Italian-Hartford)\Not to mention the famous Carbonnes restaurant on Franklin Av also Cappricio Ristorante ; Casa Mia Ristorante Italiano. Chef Eugene Restaurant (northern Italian)

In Vernon The Lotus; landmark French-Indochinese. classy,relaxed. Also the Aqua- rated as best Seafood in Tolland county, best service and appetizers in the state by CT magazine. Martini bar,

Taj Mahal very tasty Indian in Vernon.

Manchester- Wooster Street Pizza- as good as it gets in greater Hartford for New Haven style Pizza- A pepe's opening soon in town.

Sky, I hate to break it to ya, but I think the Lotus closed. I remember because after moving to Southern CT, I went back to visit a couple friends, planning on doing the Lotus but it had closed.
