New Haven Coffee Shops as People
Atticus: This is your learned middle-aged female professor. She’s reliable and easy to talk to. You feel like Professor Atticus is always in your corner (High Street and Chapel), but you wouldn’t expect her to go the extra mile. Her decent cold brew and sweet matcha get you through, but her cheugy humor and crowded office make it a bit difficult to sustain conversation. She’ll always vote blue, but believes young liberals are taking the cancel culture too far. Willoughby's C

Is There a Common Ground?
You can mark Wall Street as your destination for a quiet working scene, but York Street ultimately has more to offer: better coffee, better conversations.

Miso
It was the last Friday night before Fall break and, while the dining halls can be great, the six of us needed something extra to help us get through the final stretch of midterms. Instead, we decided to head over to Miso, a Japanese restaurant about a ten-minute walk from campus. The restaurant is known for its fresh sushi at student-friendly prices — with classic rolls ranging from $8 to $10 and specialty rolls topping out in the mid-teens — making it one of the more reliabl

The New Haven Dumpling Index
Finding a go-to spot for dumplings in New Haven was an essential task for me. Back home, my family and I would order dumplings every Friday dinner, and I was determined to continue this tradition in New Haven. But with many places serving dumplings, I was unsure which to try. I’ve eaten an obscene number of dumplings in the past couple weeks.. And now, after my endless work, I can share where you can find the best dumplings around. I tried dumplings at nine restaurants, an

Picks for the Parents
For me, parents weekend is also an opportunity to get off campus – I’m always excited to explore a new restaurant or cafe, and parent’s weekend is the perfect excuse to do so.

Tuna Comes to The Loop in a Big Way
As I walked up Orange Street, a large crowd of onlookers came into view. The usually mildly packed cafe that I have come to know and love, The Loop by Hachiroku, was overflowing with fascinated customers standing on their tippy toes, trying to get a glimpse of the spectacle that was a 206 pound fish. The Loop hosted their first End of Summer Festival this past Sunday, September 28th, where, along with their usual menu, they served yakisoba and okonomiyaki, specialty cocktails

New Haven Takes the Cake
Whether you have an upcoming birthday or you are a year-round cake lover, finding a quality cake in New Haven can be tricky. While Common Grounds may have some options in their display… I am a little skeptical. Lucky for you, my late night (and mid-day) cravings have led to regular visits to bakeries, and I am now confident in my understanding of the nearby cake scene. In my analysis, I do consider cupcakes on par to a slice of cake, and will refrain from allowing prices t
