- 🍕 Local flavor
- You’re in New Haven County, home of apizza (ah-BEETZ), the city’s coal-fired, thin-crust pizza style. Worth a stop before or after the fair.
- 🍔 Local flavor
- A short drive from Meriden, home of the steamed cheeseburger, a CT specialty steamed instead of grilled, with the cheese steamed right into the meat. Ted’s Restaurant claims the tradition since 1959, though Middletown’s Jack’s Lunch also stakes an earlier claim from the 1930s.
General guidance. Always confirm specifics with the official site.
