#NHV

Welcome to Downtown New Haven, where awe-inspiring innovation meets the nation’s best pizza. Here, connections are made possible, from art and education to cutting-edge research and world-class healthcare. Here, our hamburgers go sans ketchup and bookstores and boutiques abound. Throughout the Elm City, thought is nurtured, imagination is realized, and industries are born.

Located between Boston and New York, New Haven is the smart spot.  There’s a lot to learn, taste, see, and do here. Click around and see what you’ve been missing, us.

Eat

A foodie scene that can do both, New Haven does down-to-earth seasonal American fare as well as we do internationally-inspired gourmet four-course meals.

Brimming with artistic flair, our locally-owned shops and boutiques are home to everything from stunning antiques and home furnishings to bespoke, hipster friendly items.

Between leaf peeping and neighborhood trick-or-treating, there is no better month to be in the Elm City.  This month, step out into downtown for fall festivities, live music from local artists, and community events with your neighbors.

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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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

Rainy days call for Pepe's...along with sunny days & windy ones, Fridays, long days, probably even doomsday. Can't forget the actual Days (Doris, Charlie & Daniel [Day] Lewis), or while you [day]dream in a [day]bed about someday. It's perfect on paydays, even better during heydays or at midday on your birthday...come to think of it, there's not a single day (or Day) that *doesn't* call for Frank Pepe's Pizzeria.
