People here talk about New Haven like it’s Tokyo cause of a few good pizza joints. It’s bizarre.

I laughed out loud at this comment. Though I must also defend NHV and say that there are a ton of really good restaurants outside of pizza joints! (Far more than the dearth in Bethesda at least…)

Last time this discussion came up, people were saying New Haven was better than New York and Los Angeles for food! It happens to be that many people…need to experience the world
