You can't leave New Haven without trying the local
pizza
(known locally as tomato pies). The
New York Times
discovered New Haven's pizzas several years ago, and since then queues have been forming down the street at all the family pizza restaurants in Wooster Square. There are also plenty of reasonably priced and innovative restaurants around the Green, on College and Chapel streets.
Atticus Bookstore CafAŠ 1082 Chapel St, next to the Yale Center for British Art tel 203/776-4040. Salads, soups, sandwiches, brioches and good coffee, in a relaxed bookstore open until midnight. CafAŠ Pika Tapas 39 High St tel 203/865-1933. A bright, mural-filled place with diverse tapas and wines from Spain. Claire's Corner Copia 1000 Chapel St tel 203/562-3888. Eclectic Mexican and Middle Eastern food, including vegetarian dishes, at moderate prices. Frank Pepe's Pizzeria 157 Wooster St tel 203/865-5762. Most popular of the Wooster St restaurants; plain, functional and friendly, with huge "combination pies" starting at $5, baked in coal-fired ovens. Louis' Lunch 263 Crown St tel 203/562-5507. Small, dark and ancient burger house that claims to have served the first hamburger in the US, and presents the meat between two slices of toast. Highly popular, but worth the inevitable wait.
