New Haven Vacation Guide
New Haven is the second-largest city in Connecticut, after Bridgeport.It is in New Haven County, on New Haven Harbor, on the northern coast of Long Island Sound.
Founded in 1638, New Haven could be considered to be the oldest formally planned community in the United States due to the original grid of four streets by four streets. This created what is now commonly known as the "Nine Squares," now the center of Downtown New Haven. The city instituted the first public tree planting program in America, eventually producing a canopy of mature trees (including some large elms) that gave New Haven the nickname "The Elm City."
The city is best known as the home of Yale University and the National Historic Landmark New Haven Green. Along with Yale University, healthcare (hospitals, biotechnology), professional services (legal, architectural, marketing, engineering), financial services and retail trade form the base of the economy. Since the mid-1990s, the city's downtown area and many of its neighborhoods have seen extensive revitalization. Other colleges and Universities in New Haven include Southern Connecticut State University, and Albertus Magnus college, with Quinnipiac University and the University of New Haven in the greater New Haven area.

I made it to New Haven for a look around Yale. The buildings are very pretty, but close together. I’ve tried taking pictures of the campus, but don’t seem to be able to do it justice. All you see are some trees and little of each building.
Yale wasn’t e…

Lee and Emily came in to Connecticut on the Metro North train from Grand Central Station in NY. My girlfriend Dawn and I met them at the New Haven train station, a little after noon. We loaded their bags in the back of the truck, and headed out. They had trave…

Arriving at 7:45pm, my flight had landed 25 minutes ahead of schedule. I retrieved my gate-checked bag from the cart on the tarmac, entered Tweed terminal, and asked to use the phone. I call CT Transit to have the next G bus stop at the airport as the driver on Tuesday had suggested I s…
