Guidebook for New Haven
Food Scene
Basil Restaurant
142 Howe StTasty and inexpensive Chinese food!
Fantastic fusion sushi. Miya's tends to be on the pricier side, but if you're careful you can leave with a full and happy belly, and not spend a crazy amount of money.

Pepe's does a great clam pizza, but the wait outside is often long and arduous. However, once you're through the door, your food arrives quickly and the service is pretty efficient.
