A
Scene
for
Every
Foodie
Internationally inspired gourmet fare or brunch burgers, New Haven’s foodie scene can do both. Bursting with culinary talent, our collection of award-winning chefs monopolize the New England foodie scene. Take our very own Louis’ Lunch, a fourth-generation family-owned grub spot, whose ‘hamburger sandwiches’ have been pleasing crowds since 1895. Consider Claire Criscuolo of local favorite, Claire’s Corner Copia, who has been serving up kosher and vegetarian food with a flair since 1975, or the innovative Chef Emily Mingrone of Tavern on State, the award-winning restaurant located in downtown’s East Rock neighborhood. Come for the grub, but save room for a drink at the iconic cocktail club, Anchor Spa, led by seasoned entrepreneur and bar owner Karl Franz Williams.
Here, we put mashed potatoes on pizza and turmeric in cocktails. Come to us hungry, we saved you a seat.

One bite, and you’ll never look at pizza the same way again. There’s pizza, and then there’s New Haven apizza (pronounced “ah-BEETZ”). Whether you’re an apizza acolyte or simply someone who respects the perfect combination of crip, char, and chew, then the New Haven Pizza Trail is calling you. Here in New Haven, we take […]
