3. Louis' Lunch
Family run since 1895, Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT was recognized by the Library of Congress as the Birthplace of the Hamburger Sandwich.

4. Mamoun's Falafel
Did you know that Mamoun's originated in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1971? For the last 50 years, it has been serving high quality, authentic Middle Eastern food, and we are lucky they made their way east to New Haven.
Anyone who's ever been to NYC knows that Middle Eastern food makes the best late night snack, so save the 75 mile trip to Manhattan and grab some amazing falafel right here in New Haven.
