Eat & Drink In New Haven
New Haven plates it all. The roots are real, and they still cook. Louis’ Lunch grills burgers on its original vertical cookers. Frank Pepe fires apizza in coal ovens that shaped a style. Both are noted by the Library of Congress, and both set the tone for a city that treats everyday food like a craft.
Today the city cooks in many languages. Downtown keeps a steady pulse from first coffee to last call, while neighborhoods add their own signatures. You taste it at longtime favorites like Claire’s Corner Copia and at newer tables led by chefs such as Emily Mingrone. Sandra’s Next Generation reminds you that comfort and soul still matter here.
The recognition follows the work. James Beard nominations land here. A handful of chefs write cookbooks. National outlets from The New York Times to Food & Wine to Wine Spectator keep taking notice, with national accolades too many to count.
