When Yalies venture outside the dining halls they may choose between New Haven's culinary landmarks and restaurants specializing in most any ethnic cuisine including Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Soul Food, Italian, Turkish, Greek, Eritrean, French and Indian.
Even the unadventurous diner will be sure to find enough old-fashioned dinners, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, and burger joints to keep them busy. In fact, one of New Haven's culinary landmarks is a small eatery called Louis' Lunch, where the hamburger sandwich was first created more than 100 years ago. The proprietors of Louis' Lunch are the ultimate hamburger purists, so don't make the mistake of asking for ketchup -- the burger chef considers ketchup an insult to his art. Some of New Haven's most famous restaurants can be found in and around Wooster Square, which is a short six-block walk from Old Campus. This traditional Italian neighborhood features some of the most beautiful architecture in New Haven but is best known for its two world-famous pizzerias: Sally's (est. 1938) and Pepe's (est. 1925). These pizzerias, which are widely considered to be the nation's best, attract pizza lovers from all over the world. There is a restaurant in New Haven to suit almost any taste. Caffe Adulis serves Ehtiopian and Eritrean food on a soft sourdough plate without utensils and features dishes named after notable Yale professors. Thai Taste offers fresh seafood, fish, chicken, and beef with noodles of all types, fresh jasmine rice, and unique seasonings and sauces. Roomba is a restaurant specializing in Central American, South American, and Caribbean fusion cuisine. Mory's, filled with old Yale memorabilia and table carvings by Yalies past and present, is the only place in New Haven where restaurant goers can munch on a traditional Welsh rarebit and listen to an a cappella performance by the famous Yale singing groups. The Union League Cafe, a French-inspired brasserie just off the Green, offers patrons a beautiful and relaxed setting, while the 1950s-style Yankee Doodle Coffee Shop is known for its delightfully cheap burgers and hot dogs. From sandwiches to sushi, from pizza to pad thai, New Haven restaurants attract a loyal clientele from all over the northeast, and rarely does the city's stunning variety of eateries fail to delight even the most discriminating of palates.
