Mikro is great but expensive and I don’t think serves lunch

Mikro Depot is another good option if it's a Friday or weekend.

Just Fridays and weekends.

Mike knows food. That's always been his strength.

Back in the day would've suggested Bimonte's Appiza but now across the street Eli's a solid choice comfy for the family. I will add no one is wrong about the Glenwood the dogs are fantastic as are the Lobster roll - which is pricey though. Ice cream (Wentworth?) down the street not far from Sleeping Giant Golf,, forget the name.

Wentworth's.

Peach ice cream is the call there, and now is the time for it.

IMO it's better than Kelly's Kone Konnection (attached to Glenwood).

No doubt but less convenient if trying to grab a quick dog & rings

Absolutely.

I would only consider making the extra trip if it was peach ice cream season, and even then it's questionable because I don't eat a ton of ice cream.

Anyone been to Roishi yet?

Gonna make sure to mention Whitney Donut as another option. Local treasure. I don’t eat lunch food there much but they have a full menu of salads and sandwiches, as well as obviously donuts, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. Just a really classic Hamden spot.

Haven’t yet but really meaning to check it out. Curious as well if anyone has an opinion.

Wentworth's creamy, custand-y black raspberry and (occasional special flavor) lemon have been consistently superb for the past several years - the highlight of any Wednesday night ice cream ride from New Haven Green and up the Farmington Canal Rail Trail.

Also noted, the long-time billboard and shop name were changed to Kelly's Cone Connection several years ago, no doubt in response to a closer look at "Kone Konnection" being attached to the name Kelly.
