Dining room at Claire's Corner Copia, New Haven, CTSince 1975, Claire's has been a New Haven, well, haven for health-food aficionados, offering up a veritable cornucopia of fresh, tasty, veggie-centric fare. But even the most rabid rabbits would be tempted by the luscious line-up of pies, cookies and cakes chef-owner Claire Criscuolo and her crew bake fresh daily as well (the Lithuanian coffee cake alone is worth the trip). They also offer breakfast to sleepily grateful co-eds all day, as well as good soups, pita sandwiches and big leafy salads that contain locally grown, sustainable organic products whenever possible. But wait, there's more: Mexican, Italian and Middle Eastern favorites round out the eclectic menu, from flatbread pizzas and burritos to falafel. Prices are student-friendly, as is the service---which can, granted, be a bit too easygoing at times, but at least their attitude's in keeping with the hippie vibe. Order at the counter, and remember to recycle when you clear your table.
