Since 1975, Claire’s Corner Copia has been more than just a café—it’s been New Haven’s cozy kitchen table. From the legendary Lithuanian Coffee Cake to organic, vegetarian comfort food made with heart, Claire’s has always been ahead of its time.

This year, founder Claire Criscuolo is celebrating her golden anniversary the sweetest way possible, with a brand-new cookbook: “50 Vegetarian Recipes from 50 Years at Claire’s Corner Copia.”

Here’s to half a century of fresh flavors, kindness & community (with plenty of cake along the way). Cheers to Claire & to many more years of delicious memories in the heart of Downtown New Haven! 🥂

🎵 Little boxes on the [river]side
Little boxes made of ticky tacky...
There`s a pink one and a green one,
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they`re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same...🎵

Sure, from here they may all look the same, but if you`ve ever walked the streets of New Haven, part of the Elm City`s charm is that the homes look anything but identical to one another.

🏡 If you don`t already, follow @newhavencthomes & get a splash of color added to your feed as they post New Haven homes of all hues.❤️ 💙 💛

TRIVIA: Can you name the television series that song is from?
