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. 

March into downtown New Haven. We’re shaking off the frost and putting away the parkas, welcoming a new season with a month of delicious eats, curated wares, and spirited entertainment.

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.
