A blog about New Haven
In case you haven’t heard because you’ve been too busy following the MSM news with their impeachment trials and terrifying new Coronavirus strains, you might have missed an extremely important piece of news: New Haven lawmakers want to make pizza the state food of Connecticut. (MSM is the “MainStream Media” which is us real woke … Read more
On the mean streets of the Elm City, only the strong survive. For every Cask Republic is a Hop Knot. For every Christopher Martin’s, a Carmen Anthony’s. (Yet despite all odds, Canditopia remains open?!) Today, we celebrate the bars, restaurants, and stores which have stood the test of time and endured the many, many unfulfilled … Read more
After living in New Haven for 20 years, I can confirm that this is the greatest city in America (and possibly the world). That’s right. You can keep your grubby New York and your smoggy Los Angeles, your Chi-towns and your Big Easies. I know for a fact that New Haven has them all beat. … Read more
I have a saying and it goes a little something like this: “If Sally’s isn’t the best pizza you ever had, you’ve never had Sally’s.” Growing up as a young paesan in the Cove, Sally’s was the best thing you could see on the dinner table. Forget the bacon dad, bring home Sally’s. Now I … Read more

In my time living on the boulevard of thin crust I’ve experienced some… transgressions, if you will. A constant injustice. Not to do with … Read more
If you haven’t heard, New Haven is sort of known for their pizza. And no, I’m not going to call it “a-pizza,” or pronounce it “ah-beets.” I don’t know anybody that does. So anytime some “travel blog” explains how “we” do it, I just shake my head and laugh. But we do know our pizza. … Read more
I have a confession to make: for my first two articles I was merely masquerading as a New Havenite. The shame. My beard? My thick-rimmed hipster glasses? A fraud. A fashionable ruse. The shame. I have brought dishonor upon my family for generations to come. To be fair, I lived in West Haven, which was … Read more
The clock reads 2 am, which doesn’t surprise you cause the bartender just spent the last 15 minutes slowly herding you and your friends like cattle out onto the streets. Your head is swimming with beer and vodka. And maybe there was some tequila in there… ? Even though it’s only 40 degrees out, you’re wearing … Read more
After Black Bear Saloon closed down, I wondered what would take its place. After all, this was Black Bear. A place which wasn’t sure if it was a shitty sports bar or a shitty dance club. Our first clue to its successor was its brilliant name: Tavern New Haven. Obviously they used an exhaustive process … Read more
