It can be easy to get into a rut when it comes to takeout.

For Super Bowl Sunday, maybe it’s time to try something new. Here are some of our favorites from North Haven and New Haven, down to East Haven, over to Old Saybrook, and up to Chester, Deep River, and Essex.

While many of these places are open and will be serving a full menu on game day, for the best shot at specials and the best selection, order as far in advance as possible.

If you have one you’d like to add that is in that area, email me with the details before Friday, Feb. 5 at 4 p.m., at p.mcnerney@shorepublishing.com, put Super Bowl in the message field, and we’ll try to get it in.
