#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

New Haven is the Pizza Capital of the United States, where every slice is a masterpiece of crispy, coal-fired perfection—always charred, never burned. 

Shop Downtown New Haven! From unique local boutiques to favorite national brands and one-of-a-kind finds—we’ve got what you’re looking for.

Summer’s knocking, and New Haven’s ready. This June brings Pride, Juneteenth, Father’s Day, and the first real heat wave. Plus, 100 years of the pizza that put us on the map.

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.

Mondays call for afternoon coffees.

Meet The Jitterbus — your favorite yellow school bus turned espresso bar, brewing up bold coffee with serious community vibes. Parked at rotating spots around Downtown, it’s serving lattes, cold brews, and good energy wherever it goes.

➡️ Pro tip: Follow @jitterbuscoffee for the weekly schedule so you never miss your caffeine fix. Serious bonus points for the latte art and friendly baristas.
