#Monroe CT-- If you are looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night head up to Bill's Drive Inn at 431 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe (Route 111) for some good food and a classic car show hosted by the Monroe Street Rodders.

Look Who’s Doing It Local!

Mar 3, 2017 Stephen Krauchick

What a pleasure it was to meet Beth Dattilo and the crew at the Metro Diner located at the 2385 Main Street in the Courtyard Plaza (across from the theater).

I knew off the bat that the potato salad and coleslaw was not only homemade but made with real Hellman's mayo! Both Alex and I…
