Alternate Universe featured in Seasons Magazine

Check out the feature story in Seasons Magazine on Alternate Universe, the comic book shop which has been a staple in the Chapel West District for more than 25 years.

“Need an escape from the realities of the world, a nostalgic visit to reconnect with childhood friends, or a quick rescue from a superhero or two? Then perhaps you need to step into another universe. Alternate Universe is a little Chapel Street store in downtown New Haven that for decades has been a refuge from the realities of politics, pandemic and personal strife…” wrote Frank Rizzo.

Operations manager for Chapel West, Giano said he estimates that foot traffic in the Yale-adjacent business district now equals or exceeds pre-pandemic levels.

The Cannon Officially Opens

City of New Haven Press release

On Thursday, July 7, New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker joined city and business leaders to celebrate the opening of the newest restaurant and bar in the Dwight neighborhood, The Cannon.

The Cannon gets its name from the English soccer team, Arsenal, and is the home pub for local Arsenal fans, the New Haven Gooners. As the only vegan and vegetarian sports pub in town, The Cannon is bringing new life to a site that has been unoccupied in recent years and is a gateway to the historic Dwight neighborhood. 

 Co-owners Kevin MacKenzie, Tessa Davis and Skyller Melton created The Cannon at the site of a former dry-cleaning business. The partners said they wanted to blend unique vegetarian and vegan eats with local beers, superb cocktails and a sports-friendly atmosphere.
