Claire's Corner Copia is a vegetarian restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut. It is located at 1000 Chapel Street near the campus of Yale University and the New Haven Green. It is owned by chef Claire Criscuolo and her husband Frank Criscuolo. The couple used Claire Criscuolo's engagement ring as collateral for the loan they needed to open the restaurant. When the restaurant was founded in 1975, it was not vegetarian. Chef Criscuolo told the ''Yale Daily News'' that she removed meat from the menu in a "radical move" that "forces people to eat more fruits and vegetables." A former nurse, Criscuolo prides herself on offering healthy food. The restaurant has an extensive vegan menu. ''Lonely Planet'' calls Claire's "fresh, organic" food "the best" in town. Popular menu offerings include smoothies, fresh juices, and desserts that are vegan, gluten-free, or both. Claire's also has a dairy-kosher certification issued by both Rabbi David Avigdor and Rabbi Hyman from the Vaad Hakashrus of Fairfield County in Connecticut. Claire's is open between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, it is open between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Chef Criscuolo has written several popular vegetarian cookbooks: * ''Claire's Classic American Vegetarian Cooking'' * ''Claire's Italian Feast: 165 Vegetarian Recipes from Nonna's Kitchen * ''Claire's Corner Copia Cookbook: 225 Homestyle Vegetarian Recipes'' Frank and Claire Criscuolo also write a food column for the ''New Haven Register''. ==See also== * List of vegetarian restaurants 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claire's Corner Copia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
