The cards are designed to give restaurateurs feedback on the effects smoking has on their customers, and can be obtained by calling Melinda Tuhus, Fighting Back public awareness specialist, at 946-8964. The public health impact of second-hand smoke on patrons and employees of restaurants has been shown to be significant. In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that bartenders who worked for as little as one month in smoke-free conditions reported a significant drop in coughing and other respiratory problems and showed improved lung function. Smoking is responsible for nearly one in five deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. According to the National Academy of Sciences, exposure to second hand smoke increases the risk of developing lung cancer.
New Haven is home to some of the best pies on the East Coast, maybe even the world.
The pizzas made here are truly something to be proud of, and the king of things pizza this year is Bill Pustari, owner of Modern Apizza. Modern is one of the best reasons to live near State Street, not only because it's convenient, but because the restaurant makes damn good pizza. Trying to pin down one of the best things about it, I was reminded of the Bomb. The name says it all. It has everything.
