arts
With world class museums, theaters, galleries, music venues, sports and outdoor recreation, and arts institutions, New Haven offers a seemingly endless "things to do" list.
Much like New York's Broadway, New Haven's Shubert, Long Wharf and Yale Repertory Theaters are renowned for groundbreaking – and often career-making – performances. Meanwhile, a collection of smaller theaters and troupes, including Elm City Shakespeare and Yale Cabaret, offer both traditional and cutting-edge performances throughout the year.
New Haven's roster of museums and cultural centers is unequaled anywhere in America. From the trendy Artspace Center for the Contemporary Art to the Freedom Schooner Amistad on Long Wharf Pier, the city is abundant with cultural opportunities.
