One of C&WM's longest-running events! Nearly every Wednesday we meet at Hometown Buffet in Shaw's shopping plaza, 52 Kane Street (turn West off of Prospect), West Hartford, CT. Because everything is self-service, people wander in when they can and leave when they must. The food is buffet style: all you can eat for about $7.00. John B. [Check Media], our Mensa host, is usually seated at the front of the restaurant (away from the food counters) in the center section.
From I-84 West-bound: Take Exit 44, "Prospect Street". At the light at the end of the exit, cross Kane Street directly into the parking lot. Hometown Buffet will be slightly to your left.
From I-84 East-bound: Take Exit 44, "Prospect Street". At the light at the end of the exit, turn left. At the next light, turn left onto Prospect Street. You will cross over I-84. At the next light, turn left onto Kane Street. At the first light on Kane Street turn right into the parking lot. Hometown Buffet will be slightly to your left.
(860) 236-4848 will reach the cashier.
