The Luke, Union League or Olea. Cast Iron is a great steakhouse.

Always loved Barcelona. Not sure how it's holding up, haven't been in 10 years. Paella was amazing.

Adding a vote for Olea

Sherkaan has great vibes and is sneaky amazing get the garlic cheese naan

It's an Android unfortunately

Union League

Union League definitely. Luke.

Maybe. Usually the quicker you get to a real highway the better. Those state roads have lights and traffic. So really the answer depends on where you're starting from. In this day and age, I would ask Google maps. Plug in a day and time (e.g. Monday 7am) and try some different options. It's been a long time since I've had to commute anywhere that I couldn't bike to.

Good luck with the new job.

Would 63 to 8 up in nagatuck not be good route? Not many people mention it but seems to be in same direction and more direct?

It was north of Waterbury off rt 8. 34 goes northwest and runs into rt 8, which goes directly up to Waterbury.

Yorkside > House for Greek pizza

Where was ur commute to? Doesn’t 34 go more towards nyc so I think I’d be avoiding that traffic.

I’m looking on towns on the outter edge of new haven to avoid having to drive through New Haven at all.

I found that getting through New Haven was of the worst parts. I lived in East Rock and getting to rt 34 took forever. I ended up taking Whitney up into Cheshire.

I did not enjoy that commute. Did it for about 6 months and that was enough.

It should be early enough but being that New Haven has magnet schools and very little neighborhood schools, bus pickup times begin around that time. For example , kid could live in Westville but go to high school at any of the almost 10 high schools New Haven has.

Is 720am early enough?

You would have to leave early enough or late enough to avoid the school bus traffic in westville.

But like from where? Where the traffic? Or u hate driving not sure what u mean haha. Everyone else has been saying the opposite so just wanted some explanation

Did it for 5 years. It’s horrible

Explain. The majority seems to think the opposite. What’s ur commute and what time?

Horrible

I drive this route a lot. 40 minutes drive using route 34 to route 8 north.

Is Union League actually good? I've been there twice for an event and it was surprisingly meh both times.

$20 says it was stolen and dropped. (No I’m not still salty about my car window being smashed in broad daylight on Wooster and Greene 10 yrs ago).

Yes I’ve been there 2-3 times post pandemic only because someone else suggested it. Not impressed.
