Hotels & Inns Hotel Duncan Chapel StY, at York, is New Haven's classic hostelry, a period piece more than a century old.

The 10 rooms, decorated in period style (mostly Victorian), rent for $160 per night, lull breakfast included. Places to Eat For some reason, New Haven has one of the most changeable restaurant scenes in New England. Places pop up and go out of business rapidly. Cafes & Diners Atticus Bookstore Cafe between High and York, has been serving coffee, soups, sandwiches and pastries amid- the stacks for almost two decades. Mocking McDonald's, it proclaims 'Millions of scones served since 1981.' Prices are not low, and a slice of choice pastry or cheesecake might cost as much as $5, though there are things for less. The bookstore adjoins, and both are open true college-town hours: 8 am to mid- night daily. Louis' Lunch between College and High, claims to be the place where the hamburger was invented well, almost. Around 1900, when the vertically grilled ground beef sandwich was first introduced at Louis', the restaurant was in a different location.
