Cage Match
Every recreational drinker I know in New Haven seems to have a history with Firehouse 12. One friend spent their faster, younger days behind the bar, another too many evenings in front of it. It’s been a place to light a match and make one too, its social footprint palpable even three-plus years after it […]
Farm Share
Our shoreline isn’t considered farm country, but the town of Madison can boast a thriving 350-acre farm right at water’s edge. Or rather, under it. (more…)
Sea Fare
When my foodie New Yorker boyfriend visited for the weekend and requested sushi, we followed a trail of good internet reviews to Miso, tucked away in the far corner of the Ninth Square. Deeper than it is wide, the room is split by a series of pillars and panels. To the left is the bar, […]
Rain and Shine
Dark skies and heavy rains couldn’t dampen bright smiles and high hopes at Wednesday’s opening of the 2023 Dixwell/Q House Farmers’ Market.

There’s a handsome and desolate stretch of road between downtown Stratford and its coastal neighborhood of Lordship. It’s bounded on either side by protected wetlands and runways for the largely forgotten Sikorsky Memorial Airport. And though untold airfields have similar adjacencies, few if any can boast about being neighbors with the likes of the Windsock […]
Second Place
Hachiroku is on a roll, opening a second restaurant with the same name as the downtown flagship, this time at 966 State Street, on East Rock’s main drag. Unlike Orange Street’s Shokudo-style approach, this new upper State Street spot specializes in handrolls, in a way Nutmeggers probably aren’t used to. Past an all-black facade with […]
Dual Respect
The Quail & Ale in Derby contains more than a few seeming contradictions. I’d be tempted to call it confusing if I didn’t like just about everything it’s doing. (more…)
