A Top-Down Drive In Connecticut
Hartford Courant June 6, 2010
Pick up your rental convertible and head to Bart's Drive-In Restaurant on the Farmington River in Windsor. Owned by Windsor Mayor Don Trinks, this 60-plus-year-old roadside wonder is the spot for burgers, shakes and fried fish with a view.
"Bart's is a nostalgic place," says Trinks, who owns two convertibles, a 1972 Pontiac and a 2001 Chrysler Sebring. "You order at the counter and can sit in your car to eat or find a bench and watch the boaters on the river. You can't beat the setting."
Cruise nights (informal gatherings of vintage and souped-up cars) are held twice weekly, and some folks enjoy an after-diner stroll on the Windsor Center River Trail, a mile-long paved loop near the restaurant. At Bart's, Trinks says, nobody will squeal on you if you indulge in a large order of curly fries.
"We're our own little Vegas," says Trinks. "What happens at Bart's, stays at Bart's."
