Hoppy Days Diner in Willimantic, CT
Damn Covid! As part of my recent diner exposé, I was really excited to try the Hoppy Days Diner in Willimantic, Connecticut. With travel restrictions and Covid protocols still in place, my ability to get to Connecticut has been difficult, to say the least. For this article, I had to hire two of my highly
