Hwang's School Of Tae Kown DO

Make your way to the checkered flag–the one that signals you've arrived for a good time at Checkered Flag Raceway. Located in Berlin just a few minutes from Hartford, this is undoubtedly the best outdoor go-kart racetrack in all of New England. This challenging but fun ¼ mile track will find you revving up the engine in your kart as you put the pedal to the metal. Plus, there is an excellent arcade with all the latest video games as well as a snack bar. It's high-speed fun and recreation for the whole family!

Radiance and sparkle are words that are used quite often when you walk through the doors of Hartford's Lux Bond & Green. This is a truly mesmerizing establishment that offers such classic treasures as Tiffany, Waterford, Baccarat, Rolex and Mackenzie-Childs, to mention only a few. They also specialize in fine diamonds and precious gems, and they can custom design any piece of jewelry you can imagine. Also, repair and appraisal are offered in addition to Lux Bond & Green's highly personalized service.

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.
