Here`s to a century of charred perfection 🍕
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is officially 100 years old—and yes, that’s 10 decades of coal-fired crust, legendary tomato sauce, and the clam pizza that changed the game forever. Born in New Haven in 1925, Pepe’s started as a humble bakery and became a national pizza pilgrimage site (and a cornerstone of why we’re the Pizza Capital of the U.S.).
Here’s to 100 more years of slices, sauce, and serious hometown pride. 💯

Tucked along the New Haven Harbor with sweeping waterfront views, Canal Dock Boathouse is where city meets sea. Whether you’re into community yoga, rowing, dragon boat racing, or just vibing by the water, this spot’s got you.
Once part of the historic Yale Boathouse (RIP 2007), the new space is a modern tribute to New Haven’s maritime roots. With event spaces, public programming, and fitness classes, it’s not your average boathouse.
💡 Pro tip: Go at sunset—you’ll thank us later.
