Eat

Whether you’re looking for Michelin stars on plates or Instagram-content in lobbies, New Haven’s dinner spots represent the best of the New England culinary scene. 

Shop

Downtown New Haven’s distinctive shopping district begins on Chapel Street and crosses over to Broadway. Our shops and street corners established “prep” style, but we’ve got more up our sleeves. 

Explore

April in downtown is marked by returns – springtime’s return, the reopening of the Yale Peabody Museum, New Haven Restaurant Week, Cherry Blossoms, and more. Read all about it in our April e-newsletter.

See

In New Haven, we end our days in curtain calls and encores. Here, locals and visitors come together and connect over a melody, a monologue, or a mic drop. Interested? We’ll save you a seat.

Discover

Museum-crawl through the streets of New Haven and feel the history, art, and culture come to life – from the exterior walls of an outdoor mural, to the hallowed halls of the New Haven Museum. 

Stay

We won’t check your zip code at the door; when you’re here, you’re a local. Spend a night or extend your stay at any of our conveniently located hotels.

Brunch

Whether you greet the day with chicken and waffles or a classic eggs benny, we’ll meet you with our spiciest Bloody Marys and sweetest bellinis – bottomless, of course. 

Lunch

Farm-fresh or fast (good) food, leave your lunchbox at home. Our restaurants give lunch breaks a good name, serving up the freshest ingredients on revolving menus that will fight your mid-day fatigue.

To-Go

Long week?  Tired of cooking? Treat yourself to some savory cuisine from downtown’s culinary experts, to-go.
