"Tavern on State, whose thoughtful sourcing recently led the owners to open New Haven’s first whole-animal butcher shop next door in Provisions on State, offers a cozy space in which to lose yourself in conversation. A regularly changing menu features seasonal and house-preserved ingredients and highlights excellent cuts like heritage pork coppa steak alongside cocktail gems like the Sea Witch, a tipple of gin, bay leaf-infused vermouth, brine, and pickled onion." - Stasia Brewczynski
