Travel Information & Dinner Recommendations

Airports:

Bradley International Airport (BDL): Bradley is a relatively small, easy airport and is located 39 minutes from The Network. Rental car shuttle is available and Uber is available but may could take 10 minutes to arrive. This is our top pick and easiest travel recommendation, unless you live in a city with a direct flight to HVN. If you're flying into BDL, stay in West Hartford if you'd like to explore a cute area in CT. Otherwise, stay close to The Network!

Tweed Airport (HVN): Tweed is a very small airport and is located 34 minutes from the airport. Uber is readily available and New Haven is a very popular city in CT. Direct flights are available from these cities! We do not recommend staying in New Haven unless you fly directly into HVN because its quite far from BDL and would add a lot of driving to your trip.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK): JFK is the main international airport serving New York City and one of the largest airports in the USA. Only 2 hours from The Network Salon and public transit is available to the Southington Area.

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS): BOS also known as Logan International Airport and commonly as Boston Logan, Logan Airport or simply Logan, is an international airport that is located mostly in East Boston and partially in Winthrop, Massachusetts, United States. Located 2 hours and 23 minutes from The Network, public transportation is readily available.

Where to stay:

Courtyard Marriott Southington CT: Newest hotel in the area, very nice and our top pick for Marriott Bonvoy Members. This hotel is only a 7 minute drive from The Network Salon, Uber is readily available but could take 10-15 minutes to arrive.

Homewood Suites by Hilton: Nice, clean and quiet, this hotel is our top recommendation for Hilton Honors Members. This hotel is only a 7 minute drive from The Network Salon, Uber is readily available but could take 10-15 minutes to arrive.

Omni Hotel Yale New Haven: If you're staying in New Haven, this is our top recommendation since it is right downtown near everything. Again we do not recommend going to New Haven unless you fly into HVN and feel like exploring!

Delmar Hotel West Hartford Center: If you are flying into BDL and want to explore a cute area in CT with shops, nightlife and good restaurants - stay in this bougie hotel! Here are some of the top restaurants in West Hartford: Zohara, Flemings Prime Steakhouse, Restaurant Bricco, Treva, Barecelona, Bar Taco & Max's Oyster Bar! West Hartford is 20 minutes from The Network, there could be traffic in the morning on 84 so leave early to arrive to class on time!

For those staying in New Haven:

If you're staying in New Haven, the travel time to the Network will be a bit longer for class, however New Haven has some of the best restaurants and pizza in the country*. Connecticut is known for pizza and if you stay in New Haven it would be crazy not to go on a pizza binge! Top pizza restaurants in New Haven are: Modern Apizza, Frank Pepe's Pizza Napoletana & Sally's Apizza.

*If you're not staying in New Haven, our building at The Network has one of the top pizza restaurants in the state: Sauced at Kinsmen! You do not need to stay in New Haven to get great pizza, we only recommend staying in New Haven if you booked an extra day to explore and want to check out New Haven.
