Making-Up Is Hard To Do
Ask make-up artist d.d. (of d.d.Nickel) about her favorite era, and she’ll answer in a heartbeat: the 1940s. “That’s when women looked like women and men looked like men,” she says with a twinkle. A look around her little shop on State Street bears out her love of the long-ago: vintage pictures of elegant women, […]
Grinning from Beer to Beer
If you’ve already discovered New Haven’s The Cask Republic, chances are you’ve found a new favorite place. Opened last year, the handsome, clubby tavern, with lots of wood, low lighting and expansive booths, specializes, as the name implies, in beer. Indeed, The Cask Republic (formerly Lansdowne) has 53 beer taps — including special “warm lines” […]
Small Plates, Big Tastes
Nini’s Bistro, the cosmopolitan hide-away in New Haven’s Ninth Square, has for years occupied a specific niche as our city’s only prix fixe, BYOB restaurant. With an ever-changing, multi-course menu, Nini’s has served as a showcase for the mighty cookery of Chef Stuart London, whose talents extend to Grand Gourmet (the catering arm of Nini’s), […]
Cupcakes 2.0

Tequila, Guacamole, and a Nice Ass
Cucos the donkey was tired. It had been a long night for the celebrity beast of burden; saddled with a blanket and a decorative tequila cask, he’d been the “it” quadruped of the party, and everyone wanted to have their picture taken with him. So many cameras flashing! So much ear-petting and neck-hugging! Where’s the […]
Kickin’ It Olde School
Olde School is so well named. Those two little words capture the warmth of a bistro/saloon that, although only two years old, is so comfortably broken-in, it feels as if it’s been on the New Haven map for decades. Beloved by locals and academics alike, and drawing a crowd with an astonishingly broad spectrum of […]
Love Actualized
Peter Indorf is everywhere. He’s on the wrist of the woman waiting in line behind you at Elm City Market; he’s on the left hand of your radiologist; he’s dangling from the ears of that dazzling presenter at the benefit. It was in 1969 that the affable Peter, with his gap-toothed smile and twinkling eyes, […]
An Evening in the Park
For Jason Sobocinski, 2011 was a great year for babies. In August, he and wife Kelly welcomed son Tavin into the world – he’s ridiculously adorable – but there were figurative babies, too. It was the year that saw the publishing of Sobocinski’s first tome, The Caseus Fromagerie & Bistro Cookbook, inspired by his popular […]
