The Playwright Irish Pub is a nice place to go for lunch or dinner, as they have traditional Irish food and American cuisine. I got a turkey club sandwich, which was solid, but I hear that the shepards pie is good. You will usually spend between $10-25. I also [...]

Anthony Bourdain

I know this has nothing to do with food in New Haven, but I figured I’d talk about it anyway…I watch “Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations” all the time and I have to say, it’s a great show.
