Default Downtown Milford Cars & Coffee

All, I'm in the process of organizing a regular event in Downtown Milford, CT similar to other successful cars & coffee events in the region. The explosive popularity of Caffeine & Carburetors in New Canaan was the chief inspiration, and even a sliver of that success would be fantastic.

I have interest from the city and local businesses, and this will be great for the downtown area. For those that have not been to Downtown Milford, it is one of the more beautiful downtowns in Connecticut featuring one of the oldest greens in New England, a harbor, duck ponds, and lots of great shops and restaurants. It's also very accessible, from Route 8, 15, I-95, and I-91.

Here are the details (location subject to change for first gathering):

Cars: All years, makes, and models are welcome. Parking spots are first come, first serve. Feel free to post this on other car forums in the area.

Location: 58 River Street, take the side entrance on Darina Place if you're lowered.

Time: 8:30AM on select Sundays (check Facebook for dates)

Coffee:
Scratch Baking
58 River Street

Cafe Atlantique
33 River Street

Frosty Twist
23 South Broad Street

Liquid Lunch
84 South Broad Street

Sweet Cupcasions
107 River Street

Fun Run: Afterwards, an optional fun run through some local twisties.

Oct 5th is the big "Vettes in the Village" show in Mystic.

May be difficult to get a lot of Vette participation that day....

Actually was thinking of riding up after Cars & Coffee.

Could do a meet-up in Milford and cruise in from there for those in western CT or NY/NJ.

Next time!

Had a great turnout today. A 1969 Vette, 2014 GTR, Mercedes SLS AMG, and a few other interesting rides. Probably about 30 cars.

Next one is Oct 26th
