Taking A Poker Vacation But Need A Place To Go. Any Suggestions?

go to foxwoods and give us a report on john cole. is he really a nerd? we are all on the edge of our seats.
when i was there i just stayed at foxwoods. its not cheap but you are right there.
make sure you go into mystic and eat breakfast at chicken little. be prepared to wait if you go late. it is a small place just as you get to town. great breakfast. plus there are two good italian restaurants in the town. one on the left as you go in, and the other around the corner from it.
the movie mystic pizza was filmed at the mystic pizza there,but the pizza sucks. might be up your alley

Of course he is, but we love him anyway.

If you're going to look this place up in Yahoo yellow pages or the like, you'll have better luck searching for Kitchen Little. At least, I know of a place with that name, but I've never seen this chicken little restaurant Ray likes so much.

I have no idea which places Ray is referring to here. Really.

There are other good places to eat, but for the most part, you'll be coming here for the poker, or to see the colors.

Greg,

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to do a little internet searching to find a hotel and see what is available in the area.

Good luck

when i visited last year, we pricelined a 3 or 4 star motel/hotel and ended up getting a $110 room for like $45. Even the desk guy said people have to be crazy to pay full price, when they can just get a cheaper room online. heh. the room was nice and clean, but nothing spectacular. unfortunately i can't remember the name of the place.

they have a shuttle to and from foxwoods, but it stops running after midnight and we were forced to call a cab, which was around $20 if i remember correctly.

it was about 15 miles northwest of foxwoods and mohegan sun, but the drive was nice. although i know mohegan sun has no poker room, you should maybe drive by and check it out. it's kinda neat sitting right by a lake.

good luck

Ray, I agree Mystic Pizza is horrible - the best pizza in the U.S. is 1 hr south of Foxwoods in New Haven. Try Sally's or Pepe's on Wooster St. for the best coal oven baked pizza. Even New Yorkers admit this pizza is the best. Get there early - it's the only place that's full the minute it opens.

Ray,

Thanks for letting me know the places to avoid. It's just the response I expected to hear from someone that enjoys eating at Costco.

Good luck

Mark
