This is a concept born in the neighborhood among neighbors, owned by neighbors, built by another neighbor and staffed by neighbors. City Point Kitchen is neighborhood. Fresh local ingredients is what inspires Derrick the chef who also lives in New Haven. He noted people love their eggs (from Branford), their biscuits and gravy as well as their fresh (not frozen) lobsters.
Here are some photos from my visit to the City Point Kitchen that just opened on July 9th, 2015 and is located at 98 South Water Street, New Haven, CT. Go and check them out Tues – Sun 8am-3pm!
