Rooms near Worchester MA or Hartford CT

kryptonite9 · May 25, 2012

I am traveling up to Boston from Philadelphia for game 7 of the Sixer/Celtics series on Saturday. My freind and I will be coming back Sunday and would like to stop along the way to play some and maybe find cheap action. The route would be North Jersey, through Hartford CT, through Worchester MA. We will be out of the city after the game and will not want to go back so no need to list Boston rooms. We also would not want to go through NYC. If anyone knows of a nice room that we could stop at on Sunday afternoon/evening it would be appreciated.

Thanks ahead,
Keith

Big Shot Billiards in Windsor, CT right off 91. Place is huge and the rates are like $6 the whole day. I think they only have 7ft though. A whole bunch of 7ft.

Snookers is not far from Worcester and you should easily find a game there. Head down 146 from Worcester.

itsfroze · May 25, 2012

Snookers is in Providence R.I. and is one of the nicest rooms in the country.

Not to mention they have The New England Pool And Billiards Hall Of Fame
located there.

Should be able to get a game there they get on average 50 for their weekly tournament

Good luck to you.

Yeah I had the best Lobster tail I've ever eaten as well as the best clam chowder at a place in Worcester...

Jaden

BTW for anyone wondering, it's pronounced worse-ster...

Probably a little closer would be "woster" (short "o" sound)

(I hear all kinds of variations,but the "h" always baffled me

Proper New England speech...

They sell tee shirts in Worcester showing the pronunciation as "woo'stah" - where I lived there for a few years..

Clearly not making money

Of the three or six accepted ways to pronounce Worcester, MASS, this ain't one of them. It isn't prounounced like the city in NY State.

Thumbs up Rodney!!! This is one of the accepted ways. Pronounce it like the sauce without 'shire' at the end.

WUSS tuh (rhymes wuss rhymes Puss in Boots)
WIS tuh

or

WUSS tah
WIS tah

and for those in Worcester that happen to say the 'r' in the end

WUSS tər

or

WIST tər

Freddie <~~~ thank goodness for someone who actually live in Worcester County

I'd guess the Sole Proprietor.

justadub · May 25, 2012

Well, I'm about 4 hours north of Worcester, so I'm not directly familiar with the locals....

I've just lugged that surname around for almost a half century, so I have heard a few variations

Keith, I think your best bet although a little out of your way would be Snookers in Providence RI. It is the nicest room between MA,CT, and RI. I would normally tell you to stop at Worldchampionship Billiards on sundays but we are closed sunday and monday this week.

kryptonite9 · May 26, 2012

Thanks everyone and sorry for the mistake on the name. Snookers looks to be the pick. We can hit that and go down 95 to get home. Hopefully the schedule allows us to check it out.

Next we will need a thread how to properly pronounce Peabody, Medford, and Quincy...OP Going to the gah den to see the Seltz in the playoffs is quite a bizzare scene

Not to mention some alternative definitions...

For Boston words like Khakis, could be pants could be the things you start the cah with..

Fred is right its Wusster, I was going for the same sound only wiith oo.

Bottom line lets go Seltz
