A star in the latest episode of Vice Media’s “The Pizza Show.”
The online Urban Dictionary defines Ah-beetz as “New Haven, Connecticut slang for Pizza.” But ask, say, the former mayor of the city, and he will tell you it’s much, much more — as viewers of a new Vice Media show make clear.

The Donald.
Milford, N.H. — As I negotiated my way into Donald Trump’s welcome-back-to-New Hampshire rally Tuesday night, a staffer motioned me to a holding pen, a set of cramped risers and desks near the back of a capacious room where cameramen scrambled on top of each other to get a good angle.

New York Times food reviewer Sarah Gold knows so much about food that she is sure no one would ever enjoy eating the blackened tofu salad at New Haven’s Da Legna restaurant — even though she didn’t bother trying it before saying so.

Former U.S. Rep. Sam Gejdenson (pictured) has serious concerns, and they’re not about the clown car of GOP presidential candidates driving around, or the recent election results in New Haven. It’s about where his news is coming from each day.
Twenty years ago, outlets like the Hartford Times, Hartford Courant and even New York Times were reliable. So was the local 6 p.m. news, which up to 90 percent of folks would tune into across the state. Now, it’s “all car accidents and murders.” And that doesn’t sit quite right with him.

“Like how they did to that man at the corner store,” the young girl says in the video. “Where they like, choked him. [And he was] saying that he can’t breathe and stuff. That’s how I think about it.”
“It’s just sad because the guy didn’t even do anything,” another girl says as she starts to cry. “But the fact that the white police officers hurt him for doing nothing — like that could happen to anybody, any day, any minute. That’s what gets me scared. I’m just scared that that’s me one day. I don’t want to think about it but it happens.”

Agreed: New Haven’s a great small city.
At issue: Does that boast belong in a hashtag or on a T‑shirt?
