Eat your way around New Haven
Although Yale University and the world-class museums it hosts are undoubtedly New Haven's most well-known attractions, it is only marginally less well-known for having invented the first hamburger in the United States. This city obviously takes its culinary scene very seriously. It particularly takes pleasure in producing flawless pizza pies, such as the thin crust pizza pies at Modern Apizza or the "white clam pie" at Frank Pepe's, which was listed among the top five pizzas in America by the Food Network.
The downtown area offers a wide variety of fine dining and international cuisine alternatives in addition to excellent American classics, such as the aforementioned "hamburger sandwich" at Louis' Lunch, which diners laud as "legendary" and "bucket list" worthy. Along Long Wharf Drive, a group of Latin American street food vendors known as Food Truck Paradise whips up tacos, empanadas, and Cuban plantains for takeout. The college town also has a variety of inexpensive cafes, dive pubs, and food trucks.
Seafood is a mainstay of the New Haven diet due to its location along the Long Island Sound, and it is best savored at well-known waterfront eateries like Stowe's Seafood and Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill. Make reservations at The Blake Hotel so that you may end your binge with a beverage at the High George rooftop lounge.
