Backstory: Review of Louis Lunch

April 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I had never been to Louis’ before I did this review. I always meant to, but it seemed like it was never open. I’d even tried going right after Easter during their regular hours, but it was still closed, I guess for some kind of post-Easter chocolate-digesting vacation.
But when […]

Beyond New Haven: Sushi Palace

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Ok, so perhaps it’s not fair to write about a restaurant where you either need a car, a friend with a car or some cab or bus fare in order to get there, but this place cannot go without mention. Among my own group of friends, Sushi Palace has already become a topic of conversation […]

“Spa Waters” and Lobster?

April 9th, 2008 · No Comments

Yale’s organic café (I’m assuming they mean The Thain Family Café, which they neglect to mention is unfortunately not incorporated into the Yale meal plan) faces stiff competition from Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Stanford and others in this New York Times article evaluating improved campus food.

Top 10: Classic

April 8th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Most likely to be mentioned immediately after the sentence “Oh yeah, I’ve been to New Haven.” People will laugh at you if you don’t go to these restaurants at least once before you graduate.

April 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Probably the best coffee shop in New Haven (see #3 on Top 10 Underrated) for normal reasons like ambience and quality beverages, Koffee also happens to boast an endless supply of bizarre conversations.

Foster’s: The Next New Haven Comedy Club?

April 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I went to Foster’s last night with a friend of mine just to enjoy some after-dinner drinks. Foster’s is one of the places that I list as an alternative to the New Haven “club district.” As we walked by the window, we saw a man with a microphone standing in the middle of the […]

Move out “Mom and Pop”: The “Big Boys” are Coming to Town

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Burning Down the Traif

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

As I briefly mentioned earlier, I stopped keeping kosher this summer while I was in Israel. It’s a long story. But since then, I’ve been enjoying all kinds of previously forbidden delights, from chicken parmesan (delicious) to pasta with mussels (delicious) to fast […]
