Vintage ‘soda shoppe’ set to open in downtown Hartford’s Pratt Street Historic District

A soda bar featuring old-fashioned floats, sweets and milkshakes is expected to open this summer in downtown Hartford.

Emrey’s Specialty Sweets & Sodas is a vintage candy shop modeled after the “soda shops” of the mid-20th century.
