Downtown New Haven is full of historical buildings and really great coffee. You can see a show at the Schubert theater, dine at so many top notch restaurants and stroll through the town park. It’s not too loud but with college students around, it’s a lovely and lively atmosphere. Autumn and spring are the prettiest seasons with all the changing colors and blooming flowers. It feels like something out of a movie when you explore the neighborhood coffee (or cocoa) in hand.
Downtown New Haven is very universal. They have lots of trendy restaurants, bars, clubs, bookstores, etc! The Yale Art Museum is absolutely stunning and such a good way to spend a rainy day! There's always something happening in New Haven for every age group! Don't forget to try the pizza while you're there!
New Haven is very diverse and many free resources are available to residents. But the safety of New Haven is a concern. The community needs to come together for the safety of everyone. But on the other hand, many good restaurants and activities available. Public schools should offer curriculum including basic living skills and financial education. So students will be prepared after high school. Public high schools should also include free SAT preparation for students and include that in their curriculum so SAT scores will increase. The support available to residents is phenomenal.
