First off, I've lived in CT for 35 years and am currently living with the I 84 nightmare in Waterbury right now. I can't even imagine what a "big dig" in Hartford would mean to normal commutes, much less trying to "pass thru" CT for Winni travelers.
Previous to my 35 years here I was a NJ resident for nearly 30 years, many of which we had to contend with no I 84 existing. As a child I felt CT was the biggest state in the Union because it took so damn long to get through. Merritt Parkway took us just so far, and then it was the Berlin turnpike (Ugh!) to catch old I 87 to the MASS Pike. Then, even when 84 was completed to Hartford, we had to get off into downtown Hartford to pickup 87. What a debacle!
Lastly, Rein's deli isn't Katz but its as close as one can get. If you want to get a seat inside when it's busy head into the back where the bar is located. Typically you can can a seat at a table or at the bar without having to wait in-line at the front.
