My husband and I’s current apartment is actually up for rent! We are leaving our lease early after finding a house - all utilities are included for $2195 (except cable/internet), it has an assigned parking spot, in Wooster Square directly on the park as well, so good for walking and/or biking downtown. My husband and I shared a car our first year here actually. Let me know if you’re interested, we would love to help our realtor find the perfect people to move in!

Consiglios is the best Italian food in New Haven! Very cozy, delicious, and can be as upscale or affordable as you’d like due to their reasonable prices.

I’d also recommend Oak Haven - just tried them for the first time for my husbands birthday, the drinks were fun and food was seriously delicious. South Bay is good and fun as well. I have heard great things about Olea and Tavern on State but haven’t tried them yet.

Anchor Spa is a local black owned and run restaurant and bar downtown which is very small, intimate, and welcoming. The drinks are delicious and unique. I haven’t tried the food yet though but their menu looked great!

It’s a bit of a distance - but I’ve had great experience with the Meriden Animal hospital with both of my cats.
