Things to do in New Haven
New Haven is a vibrant mixture of lofty academia, natural beauty, historic charm, and fun student life. Its music and arts scene packs in more diversity and greater quality than perhaps any other city of its size in the US.
Young visitors to New Haven will love the lively student culture, as they can dance until dawn in the Crown Street club district and relax the next day at one of the city's many coffeehouses. Less adventurous visitors can enjoy upscale shopping and fine dining, watch a free performance of the Elm Shakespeare Company in Edgerton Park, or visit the Peabody Museum of Natural History.
For a taste of New England's seafaring history, visit the famous Freedom Schooner Amistad, which docks at Long Wharf Pier when it isn't voyaging around the world. Exploring the Yale University campus is an absolute must as the grounds encompass so much of the best architecture and scenery of the city, as well as enshrining much of its history.
The birthplace of American pizza, no visit to New Haven would be complete without sampling what consider its most enjoyable traditional product. Age-old contenders Sally's and Pepe's pizzerias, each with an army of fiercely loyal New Havenites, have been battling for the 'best pie' title for more than 60 years.
