One of my coworkers who's a quesadilla lover told me that the best food cart to get a quesadilla…read morefrom is "the one with the guy" if you have the time to wait, but that "the one with the woman" is quicker if you're in a rush. In checking out the food carts today, I determined that "the one with the guy" is called Burrito Bliss, so based on my coworker's recommendation, I decided to try it. Needless to say, I ordered a quesadilla ($6). I had mine with chicken and all of the fixings except for cabbage slaw. The quesadilla itself was filled with white cheese (queso fresca?), chicken, mushrooms, and caramelized onions, and was served with sour cream, hot sauce, pico de gallo, and guacamole on the side, as well as rice and beans. True to my coworker's description, the quesadilla itself was large and generously filled with ingredients, and had good flavor, esp. with the included toppings. It made for a lunch that was satisfying but didn't weigh too heavily on my stomach for the rest of the afternoon. My loyal followers know that one of my favorite pastimes recently has been to complain about the cost of everything in CT, esp. compared to Pittsburgh, where I spent the past 5 years of my life. The quesadilla I received from this food cart represents the second time since I moved to CT a month ago that I feel that I received a good value for my $ (of which there's unfortunately much too little!). If you're a cash-strapped postdoc, med student, or staff member, be sure to check this cart out to get a good bang for your buck in terms of flavor and portion size!

It is also across from a park and you can enjoy the view of the water. The food truck park is a of collection of food trucks serving Latin America, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban foods. I ordered three Tacos from La Chalupa which were Chicken, Chorizo, and Meat tacos. The tacos are two dollars each which you can't beat. The tacos were delicious, flavorful, and the meat was tender. I enjoyed my tacos while watching the water view. The service was quick and the customer service was great. I will definitely be back again as I have been here many times before.

Thank goodness because walking over to Whitney in heels to get salad from the shop is not always my favorite thing to do. It is also cheaper than having someone from Uber Eats. Ring it to you.

Another great addition to the area!

Prices are affordable and incredibly reasonable in this day and age - where else can you get 2 hot dogs with chips and a soda for just $6.50 in a downtown setting these days? The other menu items max out at $4 a piece. Plus it's nostalgic to then walk down the street into the park on a nice sunny day and sit on a bench to eat your piping hot sandwiches. The owner is also really nice and wouldn't let me leave a tip; he just asked that we come back regularly! Best quick lunch ever.

Basmati rice was a little bland, matar paneer (peas and homemade Indian cheese) seemed canned. Other entrees included carrots and cauliflower that seemed bland like it had been frozen. It was all edible, but nothing burst into action like I would have hoped from an Indian dish. The only great thing was a small dollop of spicy minty sauce added on the side. Overall it was OK. I'd choose another cart first, but I could be talked into trying this place again. The great thing about the carts here (in front of the Yale Whale) is that there are so many great ones to chosse from. Lalibela Cart is one of my favorite. El Poblano is my favorite for burritos. Try them all...

Hachiroku Shokudo & Sake Bar is a real find. Good Japanese food is hard enough to track down, and…read morefinding it in New Haven feels like a huge victory. Prices run a bit high, but the quality of the ingredients more than make up for it. The Jako Salad (4.5/5) is a favorite of mine. It perfectly mixes peppery arugula and crisp radish with a poached egg, fried baby anchovy, bonito flakes, and nori. The baby anchovy gives a sweet/salty crunch that tastes like my childhood. Every bite swings between fresh and umami in a really creative way. The harasu don (5/5) is pure richness in a rice bowl. Grilled salmon belly and salmon roe together are incredibly rich, almost to the edge of too much, but the warm rice underneath keeps it grounded and turns it into a perfect comfort dish. The giant octopus sashimi (4/5) is a great counterbalance, cleanly sliced with a firm, fresh bite that lightens things up. The fresh tofu with uni (5/5) might be my favorite plate. The tofu is ultra delicate, and the rich uni on top adds a briny depth. With the simple seasonings on the side, it's a savory panna cotta. If they ever did a dessert version with ginger syrup, I would be here daily. Sashimi here is excellent (5/5). You get a balanced mix of fatty cuts like otoro and leaner ones like akami, along with hamachi, katsuo, and octopus. The variety lets you move between clean and rich bites at your own pace. A side note. Every so often a piece of yamamomo shows up on the plate (small red berries), a little mountain peach that is sweet enough to outshine most desserts. It may just be a palette cleanser, but it is a personal 10/5 for me. So good! Both indoor and outdoor seating feel comfortable, and service was on point: kind, attentive, and well timed. Overall, this is a standout Japanese option that I would highly recommend if you're ever in New Haven.

Hachiroku was a highly anticipated place after being nominated for Restaurant of the Year in New…read moreHaven County for Connecticut Restaurant Association's annual Crazies awards so I had it on my list of must go to restaurants. I have also never been to a sake bar. Have to say....I was underwhelmed. We came in last Friday and apparently it was slow because Yale was off (according to our waiter). If a restaurant is good they should not be slow on a Friday night. We sat by the door on a cold night and there were two other couples practically on top of us. Rest of the seating are high tops against a wall by the bar or up the stairs on another level. We would have liked to sit upstairs but they were closing off that area. Menu was complex as the restaurant is authentic Japanese. Lots of beef options. Lots of Wagyu. I was hoping to be blown away by this restaurant trying something different. I was struggling trying to find something to order that sounded appetizing. I knew going in that this place was authentic Japanese but I don't know, nothing sounded great to me. I love mushrooms so I got the Mixed Kinoko Mushroom appetizer which was $15. To add scallops was another $8. Mushrooms were tasty. Scallops were not. $23 for a small dish. I also got the pork short ribs. Not a ton of meat on them, however, nice flavor. I was still hungry after this so I ordered a dessert which was the best part of the meal. They get some of their desserts from Hen & Heifer which is a well established place in Guilford. I got the Ube Panna cotta. Boyfriend got the Black cod Yu-an Yaki and upgraded to add the salad, pickles and rice for $3 more. The pickles were maybe two bites. Salad tasty but again, very small. He said the cod was just ok too. Very small portions and pricey for what you get. $30 for a mini sake flight. Not impressed with how it was served either. Small tasting glasses just placed on the table with no description. The server explained which was which, but I didn't remember. Not sure if he didn't care or this is how it's normally served, but if you go to a wine bar/brewery, they provide descriptions with flights usually written underneath the glass, or at least serve it in something. Not just tiny glasses placed on a table where you have no idea what you're having. Especially for $30! I was not impressed with this place whatsoever. As this is part of a newer restaurant group with a few different locations nearby in New Haven, we then went to their cocktail Lounge on crown street (116 Cocktail Bar) thinking it might be better, however we were equally disappointed. It was dead in there and the bartenders were miserable. They couldn't wait to get out of there. I have heard that their hand roll bar is very good (Handroll on State St). We have been to their Grocery Store called The Loop and it's cute. They have a brunch at the Grocery/Kitchen location that looks really good. They also have a wine lounge at The Loop that I'd like to try.
