Special Vending Districts

As a vendor, you have many options for where to sell your delicious food, including multiple special vending districts, as laid out in the Zoning Code. In order to vend in these districts, you must fill out a separate application from the standard vending application, which needs to be renewed biannually with the City of New Haven. The application to vend in special vending districts is linked here.
