#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

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. 

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. 

There’s plenty to celebrate this month, from Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day to Graduation Day and Memorial Day. May the celebration odds be ever in your favor, read all about it in our 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.

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.

🛍️ New Haven Night Market returns this month & to say we’re excited would be the understatement of the entire century.

Hosted by The Town Green District aka @downtownNHV, the New Haven Night Market is downtown NHV’s evening bazaar, taking place in different downtown locations and gathering all to celebrate the vibrant New Haven and Connecticut community’s entrepreneurs, art, music, food, drink, culture and more!

Friday, May 17, 2024 in downtown New Haven’s 9th Square Neighborhood. Be there or get FOMO. Learn more at the link in bio. #NHV #NHVNightMarket

In New Haven, foodies of all ages frequent restaurants of all ages, with new dining hubs opening across The Elm City each year. Our city invented the hamburger sandwich and its own style of pizza, and as long as people stay hungry, we’ll stay innovative.

One of the newest restaurants to enter the New Haven dining scene is Hot Murga, the city’s first Indian fried hot chicken outpost. Inspired by Nashville’s hot chicken and amplified with a kick of Indian spice, @itshotmurga fries up 100% certified Halal chicken with heat options ranging from no heat to super hot, warning customers to “get ready to crow.” Can you stand the heat?
