A blog about New Haven
Hello, dear reader. It’s been too long. As we all know, 2017 is winding down, and while it was only technically one year, I think we’ve all aged horribly (you still look great, though). Next week, I’ll be doing my annual Best of 2017 Awards (you can see last year’s awards here). But in the … 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

Malls, department stores, and factories are all being left to decay as we turn towards other means of acquiring and producing products.

I don’t remember the first time I went to Anna Liffey’s, which is no surprise. The cozy little basement bar wasn’t exactly the most obvious New Haven hang out. You had to crane your neck up to watch sports on the TV’s, and when it got crowded, as it often did, you couldn’t hear yourself … Read more
If you haven’t heard, Thali is closing its doors after 11 years in New Haven. They will keep Thali Too (the veggie version) and Oaxaca Kitchen open, but according to a press release from the owner, there are “so many restaurants and just not enough people.” New Haven has an ultra competitive environment. Restaurants open … Read more
It’s Wednesday night and you’ve got this itch to do something. But you don’t feel like going to the usual bars and staring vacantly into your iPhone.
