We arrived late into Hartford with not much time to do anything accept to drive around and see a few sights before driving to Meriden to eat at Ted’s 
Restaurant, home of the steamed cheeseburger. We drove by the Old State House, Mark Twain’s Home, and the State Capitol. By the time we reached Ted’s it was pouring. It’s a small place but we managed to find two seats at the counter. The burgers and cheese are steamed. I had mine with the works that included lettuce, tomato, sautéed onions, mushrooms, ketchup, and pickles served on Vienna rolls. Dennis ordered his with pickles. The burgers were so good and well worth the drive in the rain. 
We sat for a while and watched the cook as he would load the steamer with meat and cheese before we drove back to Hartford. It was a quick trip but one that was filling.
