New to New Haven? In 2024, The New York Times explored the city's art, food, and music scene, calling the city in “a chapter driven by creativity and ingenuity.” Read “Beyond Pizza and Yale: What to See, Eat and Do in New Haven2.”
In 2023, The New York Times named New Haven to its list of “52 Places for Travelers to Visit”3 in the world, calling it “a home to tinkerers and rebels, and a treasure trove of contemporary art and architecture.”
“Connecticut’s third-largest city is a historic, mostly walkable and bikeable seaside town with distinctive neighborhoods, an encyclopedic collection of great American architecture, a thriving cultural life and one of the best food scenes in the country for a city of its size (134,000).”
