Seconding this! My partner is also introverted and a bookworm, with the added stress of a demanding job they dont usually have the energy for the usual weekend bars etc especially since they dont drink either - but the orchid is the exception. We've met most of our New Haven friends there and now do non-bar related activities with them.

Not to mention some of the worst litter and local noise/air pollution from all the generators!
Other cities with big food truck scenes have put up power hookups and larger trash receptacles. We could do better for sure.
Tacos are top notch though lol

Sound or sea, we're completely cut off from the water by the interstates. Apparently we used to have a massive park on the water in wooster sq.

Yes, Ilse is what I was thinking of. Agreed on the expense, but they're consistently good.

The Jitter Bus has Giv Coffee from Canton. Definitely one of the best roasters in the state. They'll sell whole beans by weight.
Atticus carries an excellent local roaster from Fairfield co., im forgetting their name though.
Poppy's recently started roasting their own and they're steadily improving.
Blue State tended to roast on the medium/darker side for their light roasts, if you prefer that Willoughby's is as close as it gets.

drink wise they were decent, there wasn't a lot of variety in their coffee program though. The Jitter bus is better.

I haven't heard anything about this from any of the news sources unsurprisingly, would love to know more.

You absolutely dont need a car living in wooster square lol its 5mins walk from downtown. The entire neighborhood is like 3/4mi by 1/2mi
*edit: you dont need one just to get to the shops and restuarants and bars downton. New Haven is very compact and easily the most walkable city in CT despite the insane traffic

It was touch and go for a while. 2 years ago was borderline inedible levels of char, they served it without a second glance. Last summer they hit it out of the park every time I went.
In general, difficult to work with fuel at high heat + super thin crust = sometimes its going to be overdone. Nature of the game
