Welcome All!
Throughout my high school years, I took an array of trips to different places in my local downtown area. Downtown is the best place to get food after school and hangout with school friends who are from different parts of Connecticut. By that, I'm referring to how my school consist of students from various parts of Connecticut so it's hard to have one spot to meet up. This is why Downtown is the best place to hang around and explore just for fun. Today I will be talking about a few places I visit regularly or have gone to for the first time!
Donut Crazy
Recently, I discovered this doughnut shop after leaving Urban Outfitters (another place I like to visit). It was a pretty random discovery and a little hidden which is common with most food places downtown. The decor inside of the shop was very chic, unique and suave. My friend and I knew that Donut Crazy would be our new hangout once we had set foot into the place.
The sign was the main thing that caught my attention. If you were wondering, that's me on the bottom right corner. Literally, I was eating a maple bacon doughnut with my back towards the camera. Now, the downside of Donut Crazy is that the doughnuts are very pricey. My maple bacon doughnut cost $3.00 but at the moment I didn't care since it was my first time eating this type of doughnut.
The Halal Guys
To be honest, the only reason why I go to Halal Guys is because of their french fries lol. You get a good amount of french for about $2-$3 and most of the staff is very friendly. I'll probably will order something else besides fries in the future but I'll stick to those for now.
This wall art is usually in the back of restaurant and is my favorite thing to look at whenever I visit. My friend, who's in the photo, is obsessed with their french fries as much as I am. I believe that this was her first time in Halal Guys and she was admiring the artwork. I thought the moment was picture worthy because of the lighting and cool aesthetic feel were on point.
There's a lot of places I go to downtown and this list doesn't fully cover them all. The one thing I learned from spending my time downtown is that you can't fully enjoy the downtown atmosphere without going somewhere to eat. Don't get me wrong, some food places are expensive. I pretty much avoid those but there are so many other cheap food places that deliver good quality.
On a final note, I would suggest that you stay tuned for more unique visits downtown. This post hasn't explored all the nice spots and there are plenty of more places to discover! If you haven't already, you could check out yesterday's post which is called The Check-In: New Beginnings.
Here are a few other places I like to visit from time to time:
1. Insomnia Cookies (delicious cookies!)
2. Yale Art Gallery
3. Yale Campus (unique visits about the Yale campus coming soon!)
4. Urban Outfitters
5. Barnes & Noble
