Are you from or will you be traveling through Southington, Connecticut? You'll definitely want to make time (and room in your stomach) for a meal from these restaurants.

Here are eight restaurants you need to try next time you're in Southington:

1. Flair, on Main Street

Colossal Shrimp Parmesan served with house-made Pappardelle Pasta

Flair

When I went to Flair a few weeks ago I got Hector's Mac and Cheese. Other than it being mac and cheese, it has lobster and shrimp, applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes and asparagus, and roasted jalapeño puree. It was one of the most delicious things I have had in a while. If I knew how to recreate it myself I would but they add a nice touch to the meal that cannot be replicated. The service was very nice, with Hector himself coming out to greet us and ask about our meals. Overall the inside is beautiful with an even better outside patio that faces the green. I highly recommend checking Flair out.

2. J Timothy's Taverne, in Plainville

Buffalo Wings

J Timothy's Taverne

This restaurant isn't in Southington but it is only five minutes away. If you go to J Timothy's you need to get a bucket of Sweet Red Chili Wings. They remind me of the spicy sweet chili Doritos. They have a crunch on the outside along with the sweet/ savory sauce coating the outside as well. Of course, I recommend getting a side of blue cheese to dip them in which will help subside the spiciness.

3. Sushi House, on Meriden Waterbury Turnpike

Sushi Rolls and Sashimi

Sushi House

Sushi House by far has the best sushi in Southington (don't @ me). My top three roles are the Godzilla, Mt. Fuji, and Volcano rolls. They also have exceptional hibachi noodles. I know most people use the "all you can eat" menu but I usually get one or two rolls and become full. Lastly, they have dangerously good Miso soup that always leaves me craving more.

4. Fratelli's Italian Restaurant, on Meriden Waterbury Turnpike

Chicken Fratelli

Fratelli's Italian Restaraunt

Above is my brother's favorite dish at Fratelli's. It is a piece of crispy chicken with one of their signature sauces on top. The flavors are very delicious and go well with a nice bowl of pasta. Fratelli's is small and gives off a nice, home-cooked Italian restaurant vibe. Overall, they have some of the best dishes I know of and can't wait to go back for more.

5. Noble Japanese Steak House, on Queen Street

Sushi Rolls

Noble's Japanese Steak House

The atmosphere at Noble tops a lot of other hibachi restaurants I have been too. You can either dine with a server or have the food made right in front of you. Either way, the servers, and chefs alike give great service and great food. I have had their hibachi many times, and every time I leave very full and very happy.

6. Zingerella, on West Main Street

Zingerella Pizza

Zingerella

Zingerella has very good Italian food and with that an array of amazing pizzas, which are my favorite. Whether it's the buffalo chicken or the shrimp scampi they serve pizza that never dissapoints. They have a dining section and bar section which creates a wonderful atmosphere. On a warm summer day, it's nice to sit and relax on their back patio.

7. Sliders Bar and Grill, on South-Main Street

Buffalo Wings

Sliders

Sliders is a great place to go when you want some classic, great wings. Each time I go I get one of my two favorite wings, either the original buffalo wings or the buffalo blue cheese wings. They have great appetizers, like my sisters favorite, Mac n' Cheese Wedges. All in all, they have some great American style foods that will leave you feeling pleasantly full.

8. The Fire Place, on Center Street

Potato Pizza

The Fire Place

The Fireplace has a warm feeling due to their brick oven they make their fresh pizzas and bread in. I have so many favorite items, like the focaccia bread, potato pizza, and Caesar salad. All specialty pizzas are good, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Honey Barbecue, they are both equally delicious. They have a fun atmosphere with light music and a divide between the dining section and the bar.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
