Gaming ETC in Stratford is the place to go. It is where the next waterbury is being held and they have a great player base that plays all different formats. The store is freaking gigantic and they have players there on every night I've been told. I don't live in CT but if I did I'd probably be there every day. I also know Sam's is a great store, albeit much smaller. I don't know the exact location for Sam's but I have many friends who are locals there that play type one and they like it.
If you are coming into CT soon your first stop should definitely be Waterbury. It will be a blast and you'll find every local type one player under the sun there.
Where exactly in CT will you be located? Parts of it are very close to other hotbeds of vintage and tournaments (like my mox tourney coming up in a month *end shameless plug*

).
That's the best I can tell you right now. Like I said I don't live in CT but I hope that info helped.
