Pratt Street is a leaf garland, twinkle light, corn stalk, pumpkin spice, mum covered Instagram dreamscape these days. Sunberry’s got Ramen to warm your bones, Vaughan’s has more comfort food than you can shake a sheep at, the “Tripleta” at El Poeta De Los Sandwiches is like a warm hug, and Sorella will give you that cozy campfire feeling thanks to their gorgeous wood-fired pizza oven.
Pumpkin + banana + Graham cracker + Cinnamon + Nutmeg + whatever “Milk Choice” is Froyo + = fall in a bowl. Sorry. Don’t fall in a bowl. Just put your spoon in and eat it. You’ll get much more of it in your mouth that way.
There will come an afternoon, not too far from now, where you will bolt upright from a blue-light-laptop-work-from-home-haze and remember this picture. You’ll travel to Sol Nutrition and arrive at the door as innocent as as a child, longing for the pumpkin. “Of course, we won’t mind if you look around,” they’ll say. And you’ll pass over your money without even thinking about it, for it’s money you have, and pumpkin you lack.
Don’t front – we know you’re all about a drink with pumpkin puree and a cinnamon rim.* If you want to double down on that Fall feeling, order up the soup du jour (sometimes it’s even butternut squash) and a gooey grilled cheese.
*Cute as hell white gourd not included.
What Hartford Flavor says:
“Robust smoky notes frame cardamom and ginger mid-tones leading a long cinnamon finish. A wonderful warming supper with heavy peated scotch notes. Enjoy straight up or over an ice cube.”
What we say:
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.”

Wearing these boots around Hartford this Fall will be like like getting all-day calf hugs from two fluffy plush Unicorns. Hella magical.
This Hartford-based Etsy shop is comin’ at you with all the smells of a hot cup of black coffee flavored with creamy butter, clove buds, and cinnamon sticks, coconut, and vanilla syrup. If this candle doesn’t say “I’ll have a tall almond milk pumpkin spice latte with three pumps and extra foam,” I don’t know what does.
The best thing about mini donuts is that eating a dozen of them is the same thing as eating one regular sized donut, right?
RIGHT??
Even your booze knows it’s sweata weatha. We were just going to pop into Capital Spirits, take pictures of this cider and leave, but they were cute AF, so we bought them. And guess what? They were sofa king delicious.
If The Kitchen mass produced these Butternut Burritos, froze them in plastic bags, and sold them in hippie college town gas stations nationwide, they would make a fortune. Get in on the ground floor people.
If you are very quiet, and listen very closely, you can hear these squirrels whispering their magic chant into the crisp fall air. They’re saying I’m here to combine beats and lyrics to make you shake your pants take a chance come on and dance guys grab a girl don’t wait make the twirl it’s your world and i’m just a squirrel trying to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor.
