New Star Diner

About

This counter-service institution serves the kind of no-nonsense breakfast and lunch fare that keeps regulars coming back for decades—eggs cooked to order, griddle-fresh pancakes, and sandwiches built with restraint and respect for their components. The kitchen runs with the efficiency of a place that's perfected its narrow menu, and the coffee stays hot throughout the day. You'll find yourself at a worn Formica counter or vinyl booth alongside construction workers, students, and families who know that this is where New Haven still eats like it's 1962.
