Pal8 caps how many searches can run each minute. If you hit the cap, wait a minute and ask again. Without a location, Pal8 searches downtown New Haven and says so.
Good to know
- Pal8 covers New Haven and Hamden, Connecticut, plus Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.
- Allergen and dietary details are our best guess from menu text, and no restaurant has checked them. Call the restaurant to confirm before you order.
- Pal8 only gets the food words, distance and location the assistant sends. It never sees the rest of your chat. Details are in our privacy policy.
