sports haven, i've never been in there...

that's more of a sports betting joint with full bar but I think they have the big screens

an expensive surf and turf is great but in general that kind of steak house, they often have super boring food. side veg, side potato.

also really the worst if you don't eat meat or drink liquor

it's like, big enough so that the closer you are to it, the harder it is to see how bad it is

what can they say? you need to hit the gym? you're in the gym

E: Wow! Thanks kind stranger

look at the scumbags they sent to the white house to kick the late stage capitalist can down the road

you have to ditch all your stuff and your dog

nah in the 80s New Haven had the coliseum and then tune inn by 1990. Fancy spots like Scoozi's and Atticus were already open

diet caroline

man i live in the suburbs and a guy tried to do a mass shooting in 2021. my friends house had a few bullets come through the wall and the cops used his yard during the standoff

it's always been like this since the 80s. almost every american city is like this now

Yale used to or still does have a big listing of rental properties that's secret and not available to outsiders.

I'd use that first. MIL's friend got us the password back in 2005, got hooked up renting a tiny house in the woods 15 from Yale. Rented from a nice retired couple of Yale professors, no management company

Yeah, for renters Bridgeport is probably more affordable and Bridgeport station easier to bike to, a lot of wide streets and abandoned factories with little traffic in the area to get there. take your bike up in the elevator

and Milford train station, which is really small and charming would probably suck for biking to. close to Post Road, narrow streets and a lot of cars, unless you lived right by the green which sounds expensive

i've never used it but there's a Shoreline East train to Metro North. it's not expensive compared to gas and parking. it goes all the way to New London.

Rent isn't going to be great along the shoreline but it could expand OP's range a bit

Rudy's if you want Belgian frites in a bar with groovy dipping sauces.

Union League Cafe if you want French fries in a legit French Restaurant. They have fries but maybe also try the duck fat fingerling potato.

next time you want to get a good coffee at Willoughby's near the green and walk to Beineke Library, it'll be a different trip

Yeah, you drove past the nice part of the campus, and half a block past you're in an edgy neighborhood that used be bad but now it's just depressing.

The nice part is, as you say, kinda hidden behind behind buildings, in courtyards and concealed within a web of one way side streets designed to get you back to the highway. The stadiums and fields are like 2 miles away basically in another town

New Haven is pretty unhip and a lot of the campus architecture is either medieval and forboding, or like the art museum, designed by Louis Kahn and has no visible entrance and little signage and is easy to miss. If you're driving there's a right turn down a narrow street off the main drag that gets you into the interior of the campus

You're pretty brave to use the bathroom at Popeye's though.

Dew Drop Inn sounds pretty good though... similar to what I liked about TK's- the small crunchy wings. TK's was always packed, no way they sold that business unless forced. They must have been doing like 2 million a year in sales

+1 for TK's. TK's had the best wings in New Haven until the city opened a school across from them and effed their zoning

my bones are made of Adam Ant

Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill is open. It has a easy short walking trail and some dinosaur exhibits, good for maybe 2 hours, educational and 80s retro vibe to the place. Easy 30ish minute drive up 91

the supreme court was doing the oral arguments last week on the 21st and 22nd. i listened to it. the statutes in question were written pre algorithm and none of the justices sound computer literate

'combined with a form of fusion'

smacked my forehead at that line. if you have fusion why would you use a large mammal to generate electricity

that they dumbed down the film through rewrites makes so much sense

you're just being downvoted because they can't google 'death of the author'

it was stolen from people that celebrated winter solstice whose culture included halloween
