There are several nice places at the tri state area of CT, MA & RI which would be about an hour's ride for all of our group members.

Gold Eagle (American food) Exit 94, Golden Greek(Greek food) between Exits 93 & 94 (Rte 12) Mariache (Mexican food)(Exit 96) all off I-395 in Putnam, Conn and mid-priced great food. Also Lic's (American food) between Exits 1 & 2 (off I-395) Webster, Mass Rte 12. Family-priced great food mediocre atmosphere.

All these are centrally located in the 3 state junction area, reasonable priced, bar if u want, and quality food..

Also these restaraunts are minutes away from downtown Putnam, CT which is the antique capital of New England. Giving people something nice to do before and/or after stuffing our faces.
