About this episode
Upstate Lounge and Cafe, a new bar and cafe, has opened in Hartfords West End, marking a revival of Farmington Avenue. Owner Joe Ploof, a Hartford resident since 2017, drew inspiration from his upstate New York roots for the theme and menu. The soft opening was a success, with a crowd of 90 people in just 10 minutes. Standout dishes include Utica Greens, Beef on Weck sandwich, Michigan Dogs, and the Upstate Plate. The cafe offers smash burgers, tenders, and quick, high-quality cocktails. Hours are noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday, noon to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and closed Mondays outside NFL season. Ploof aims to create a happy vibe where people connect, even hosting Buffalo Bills games officially.
