If you’re headed to the probate court in Constitution plaza you’re all set. Walk out the door of the court and walk into Spris or across the street to all sorts of Hartford’s restaurants.
If you’re headed to the superior court area in Hartford then you’re options are dare I say limited.
The Hartford Superior Court area makes the case for mixed use development. Basically, there’s lots of land taken up by government buildings and parking lots. The courts are cut off from the city.
Another problem with eating near and around the court buildings is that the most commonly used parking lot does not allow you to go in and out. If you park then you stay.
So what’s within walking distance during a court recess of an hour?
My picks:
There’s a cafeteria at 21 Oak Street at Capitol Place. It’s quick, relatively inexpensive and decent food.
The cafeteria at the Legislative Office Building is a little bit further of a walk but is another solid option.
If you have more than an hour the by all means consider Firebox on Broad Street. In my opinion, it’s the best restaurant near the courts.
