I really REALLY wish someone from Claire Criscuolo's family would come down from New Haven and open up a REAL vegetarian restaurant. Not vegan, not "plant-based." Just vegetarian - which can include eggs and dairy.

Claire's Corner Copia

My #1 choice for lunch there was:

House salad with feta cheese and tahini dressing. It came with a mini-loaf of bread, fresh from the oven, and a pat of butter. In the winter, hot mulled apple cider to drink; in the summer, just ice water with a couple of lemon slices and a few drops of honey. For dessert - her insanely rich, decadent carrot cake OR her Lithuanian coffee cake, which tasted just the way my mom used to make it.
Different strokes for different folks.. I love kale, avocados and blueberries, I do NOT like feta cheese and keep lemon out of my water glass. I prefer our homemade desserts to restaurant fare.

Isn't it wonderful there is something for all of us!
