Based on my post about my starting a job at UConn, it seems like there's a disproportionately high number of people here who have lived/worked in Connecticut at some point in their lives (I guess maybe not that surprising given how Blue Devils cluster in NYC?). I'll be setting down roots there in about six months.
So, from those who have been there, what is the general consensus about places to live in the state, ideally in the general vicinity of Storrs? I know Storrs itself is quite rural (which my wife and I actually don't mind), but we're open to pretty much anything in like a 30 minute drive radius, which I know includes towns like Manchester and starts to approach Hartford.
Also, restaurant/brewery recommendations are much appreciated, as are general thoughts on life there and things to do in the larger area!
