5 Good Places for Comfort Food in New Haven

This is a continuation of a day trip I took to New Haven. You can read earlier installments about walking around Yale, and some of the architecture at Yale.

And now, ladies and gentleman, for my most daring act yet, I’m going to talk about eating in New Haven while mentioning ONLY ONE pizza place. I’ve already given you five good places for New Haven pizza and I have no doubt that over the lifetime of this blog, I’ll write about it again, but New Haven has a lot more going for it, culinary-wise, than simply pizza.  In fact, this trip started out solely to check out Louis’ Lunch. My coworkers were talking about Louis’ one Friday when I decided I needed to visit.  Once I heard it was on Crown Street I knew I had to go immediately if not sooner so I could go to 116 Crown for a cocktail afterwards. I planned a trip for the next day, and Louis’ was closed, sad face, so we substituted Shake Shack instead.  This was Mike’s first time at Shake Shack and while it didn’t wrestle the crown away from Corey’s Catsup + Mustard as his favorite burger place, it definitely hit the spot.

I tweeted while we were en route and asked for suggestions on places to visit, so this post is actually crowd sourced (how modern!), and I’m including Blue State Coffee on the list because everyone loves their desserts.   While I am more of a savory person than a sweet one, I can get behind desserts as comfort food.
