Culture and Commerce
Wooster Square is home to restaurants and bakeries known for their pizza and Italian pastries, local businesses, and a weekly farmer's market called City Seed. Its proximity to Downtown New Haven (a short walk), its architecture and its neighborhood feel, make it one of the most sought-after New Haven neighborhoods in which to live. There is also a thriving art scene.
A sycamore tree on the west side of Wooster Square Park has been said by some observers to resemble an outline image of Jesus Christ.

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or commerce:
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labour, and we will give you work.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
