Info New Haven

#NHV

Welcome to Downtown New Haven, where awe-inspiring innovation meets the nation’s best pizza. Here, connections are made possible, from art and education to cutting-edge research and world-class healthcare. Here, our hamburgers go sans ketchup and bookstores and boutiques abound. Throughout the Elm City, thought is nurtured, imagination is realized, and industries are born.

Located between Boston and New York, New Haven is the smart spot.  There’s a lot to learn, taste, see, and do here. Click around and see what you’ve been missing, us.

Eat

New Haven is the Pizza Capital of the United States. Our apizza is often imitated, but never duplicated, there’s only ONE place to experience the best pizza in America, right here in New Haven.

Downtown New Haven’s distinctive shopping district begins on Chapel Street and crosses over to Broadway. Our shops and street corners established “prep” style, but we’ve got more up our sleeves. 

This month in Downtown, summer continues to sizzle with festivals, tax-free shopping, and endless ways to savor the season. When you need a break from the heat, dive into cool museums, explore local shops, and sip on some of the best-iced drinks in Downtown.

See

In New Haven, we end our days in curtain calls and encores. Here, locals and visitors come together and connect over a melody, a monologue, or a mic drop. Interested? We’ll save you a seat.

Museum-crawl through the streets of New Haven and feel the history, art, and culture come to life – from the exterior walls of an outdoor mural, to the hallowed halls of the New Haven Museum. 

We won’t check your zip code at the door; when you’re here, you’re a local. Spend a night or extend your stay at any of our conveniently located hotels.

Whether you greet the day with chicken and waffles or a classic eggs benny, we’ll meet you with our spiciest Bloody Marys and sweetest bellinis – bottomless, of course. 

Farm-fresh or fast (good) food, leave your lunchbox at home. Our restaurants give lunch breaks a good name, serving up the freshest ingredients on revolving menus that will fight your mid-day fatigue.

Long week?  Tired of cooking? Treat yourself to some savory cuisine from downtown’s culinary experts, to-go.

New Haven, but make it A.I.

We asked Google’s Gemini to tell us a little bit about New Haven, CT. Here’s what it had to say:

New Haven, CT: A Hidden Gem💎 
New Haven is a vibrant city with a rich history, world-class education, and a surprising culinary scene. Often overshadowed by its larger neighbors, New York and Boston, this Connecticut gem offers a unique blend of urban energy and small-town charm.

Key attractions and highlights:
👉 Yale University: As the home of one of the most prestigious universities in the world, New Haven boasts a thriving academic atmosphere, impressive museums (like the Peabody Museum of Natural History and the Yale University Art Gallery), and a youthful spirit.

👉 Food: New Haven is renowned for its iconic pizza, with thin crust and a unique blend of tomato sauce and cheese. Beyond pizza, the city offers a diverse culinary scene with everything from upscale dining to casual eateries.

👉 Arts and Culture: With a thriving arts community, New Haven hosts numerous theaters, galleries, and music venues. The city also has a rich history, reflected in its historic architecture and museums.

👉 Outdoor Activities: Despite being an urban area, New Haven offers plenty of green spaces, including East Rock Park, a popular spot for hiking, picnicking, and enjoying stunning city views.
