Papa T's also does food to go. I noticed a few local workers coming in for phoned in orders or they ordered to go at the counter. I usually leave NJ before 6:30 am and the 305 mile trip takes just a little over 5 hours too. Usually arrive at Alton Bay just before noon if all goes well.
The roadwork on 84 in Waterbury seems to be a never-ending project. I had a friend who lived in Portland, CT, and they were working on the road whenever I went to visit him. He died in 1997 so you KNOW this project is taking forever. I have been using the Merritt Pkwy to 91 and then cutting over Rte 3 north in Wethersfield to Rte 2 in East Hartford. I pick up 84E in East Hartford and avoid the downtown stretch. Usually from East Hartford to the Mass Pike is good sailing on 84 as I hit it after the morning rush hour.
