Last week, the three of us ventured to TD-land in search of a satisfying dessert after lunch. Katalina’s Bakery opened last year, but all three of us had yet to try their treats. The long walk was well worth it, especially since New Haven is seriously lacking in cupcake-eateries. Yes, Claire’s has cupcakes, but after … Continue reading

Indian Food Faceoff: Zaroka vs. Tandoor
I absolutely love eating at Indian restaurants. The menus are so expansive and unique, the food so aromatic and flavorful, and the restaurants so enjoyable that any Indian meal is a treat.

I made a reservation Monday for dinner Thursday and spent the entire week Yelping Zinc and picking out what I was going to order from … Continue reading
The New Haven Meatball House
Despite its name New Haven Meatball House (or as we affectionately call it Meatballz Haus) has much more to offer than just meatballs. So, if your first reaction was “I don’t like meatballs, they’re just hamburgers that roll off the table and unto the floor” (please please tell me you all get that song reference … Continue reading
