Instead of hopping from one place to another tonight, choose to spend your evening at City Steam Brewery Cafe. The reason? This impressive nightspot and restaurant offers plenty of fun all in one place. If you're hungry, the menu features everything from appetizers to sandwiches to even meatloaf. And if you're thirsty, well, let's just say that the chances of your beer mug staying empty are slim to none! Enjoy Pilsner, Porter or City Steam Ale or a frozen concoction from the bar to help you relax and enjoy all the fun in this multi-level establishment. Plus, the Brew Ha Ha Comedy Club is on the premises as well, so there's plenty to smile about! Reservations are required for the comedy show.

Meet your friends tonight at Arch Street Tavern for an experience that can only be termed as classically modern. The nightlife venue's dark atmosphere and vintage layout are offset by the friendly faces and excellent service. Whether you order a sandwich, a burger or an appetizer off of the menu or just prefer to enjoy one of the many beers or specialty drinks from the bar, once you and your friends get together at Arch Street Tavern, you'll quickly become a part of the bar's legion of devoted patrons.

Even if you've read Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer several times, you still may not really know much about the man who created these timeless works of American literature. A visit to Hartford's Mark Twain House & Museum will change all that in a truly dramatic fashion. The historic home has been meticulously preserved and treats visitors to the sight of various personal items that belonged to Twain, who made his home here before and after he met with his staggering success. Among the most striking pieces at this house museum are his writing desk, eyeglasses and other personal curiosities, and various first editions of his most famous books.
