North Atlantic Regional Conference 2007 Hartford, CT
 

As many of you may already know, the 2007 North Atlantic Regional Conference will be held in Hartford, CT in January. If you are familar with the area, please post suggestions on eateries, night life and attractions in Hartford.

I am looking forward to the information because in July of this year, the DST Eastern Regional Conference is in Hartford. Their convention and visitor's bureau must have been working real hard in 2006! :D

Hey . . . I'm a Hartford native

Downtown, on the corner of Trumble Street and Pratt street (accross from the Civic Center) there is a black owned establishment called "The Russell". It's a lounge/ cocktail place that serves what I call gourmet West Indian food and offers live jazz on Thursday's. I'm not sure if they still do the live poerty or the wine tasting on the weekends. Overall, it is a sophisticated place for people of color to meet, network and relax. The dress code (there's no official one but unofficially) is dressy casual. Example blazers with jeans and heals, a nice blouse and skirt ect. Can you tell that I just love this place:D

^^^Thank you. This place looks GREAT! I can't wait to try it out. I will def make my reservations early, because it looks like they can get booked fast. If you have other great suggestions please post.

If your planning to go during the weekday (Mon-Wed.) then reservations aren't really necessary . . but if you planning to go on the weekend . . .especailly on Friday or Saturday then yea, reservations are a really good idea

Well when the AKAs are in town things tend to book quickly ;) Let's just say My Sorors know how to have a good time and paint the town Pink and Green!

Do we have any GC'ers attending NARC? Are there any meet and greets planned?

I'm attending!!! And it's right around the corner.

I'll be there..............

I'll be there. Please PM me the GC meet and greet location and time.

I'll be there for NARC as well. :)

Hi all, I was born and raised in a suburb of Hartford, and now go to school there. One big suggestion; if you're a beer fan, or just want a chill place to hang out, CitySteam Brewery is solid. They brew their own beer, and the food is pretty good (although it's more of a burgers and fries type place).

Pour House and the Wooden Tap are a couple of other places to grab a drink.

If anyone has more specific questions on the area, feel free to PM me. I'm not an AKA, but would be happy to try to help those coming to the area for the first time.

NARC
 

Greetings Sorors,

I havent been on greekchat in a while, but I wanted to say I am attend NARC 2007 and I hope to see many of you there too! I am staying at the overflow hotel Sheraton East Hartford.

One week until the NOTABLE NORTH ATLANTIC kicks off the Centennial Countdown!

How Do You Feel?
 

An *ear shattering* skeeeeee-weeeeee to all my beautiful Sorors of the Notable North Atlantic Region! I had a great time at Regionals. My time was spent networking with Sorors, celebrating accomplishments and of course conducting business and acquiring new skills! Did anyone else attend? I will post pictures later...I need to rest :cool:
