Penny-pinching downtown Hartford parkers can look forward again to another evening of parking on the city’s dime — with an enticing meal discount thrown in.
The Hartford Parking Authority will sponsor its fifth “Freebie Night in Hartford” on Thursday, June 9.
Visitors after 5 p.m. can park free in the authority’s Church Street, Main-Asylum-Trumbull (MAT) or Morgan Street garages.
In addition, those garage parkers will get vouchers for 20 percent off at participating downtown restaurants.
Parking agency CEO Mark McGovern says more than 2,400 people have taken advantage of the four previous free parking and dining incentives. The promotions, he says, are aimed at building awareness and traffic for the city’s parking garages.
Participating restaurants are: Agave Grill (100 Allyn St.), Bin228 (228 Pearl), Black-Eyed Sally’s (350 Asylum St.), City Steam Brewery Café (942 Main St.), Dish Bar & Grill (900 Main St.), Feng Asian Bistro (93 Asylum St.), Hot Tomato’s (1 Union Pl), Max Downtown (185 Asylum St.), M & M Coffee Shop (The Hilton Hartford), Salute (100 Trumbull St.), Tamarind Grill & Bar (960 Main St.), The Tavern Downtown (100 Allyn St.), Trumbull Kitchen (159 Trumbull St.),Vaughan’s Public House (59 Pratt St.), and Vito’s by the Park (26 Trumbull St.).
