Not really walkable from downtown, though.

Reply to Any suggestions for a fancy restaurant that has a decent amount of vegetarian/vegan options either in New Haven or within a 90min drive? by DJ_Chally_Chal
Tavern on State has a small number of veg options but they’re excellent quality. House of Naan is one of my favorite places to eat, but maybe not fancy enough for Valentines. Heirloom has some good veg options. Da Legna at Nolo is nice and has veg/vegan options.

The people there are freakishly friendly. Also the cafe is delicious. It is a beautiful place but definitely has a vibe of trying to lure you in…

Outdoorsy activities in winter are underrated. Go ice skating at the Westport PAL rink or Walker Rink in New Haven. Winter hiking is great. Beaches are beautiful places to walk if you’re dressed for it. Also, check out the PEZ factory in Milford maybe!

Reply to comment by buried_lede in History - looking for this house that’s in my family book. Or any history on it since slim chances it’s still around. Tried numerous searches so I figured I would try Reddit. All suggestions welcome. by saturnmarsjupiter
Agree. Is it maybe one of the now-Yale buildings that’s on the upper part of Prospect Street?

I’ve heard good things about Mishkan Israel in Hamden, not sure if they currently have a waiting list.

Reply to State House good and bad by EmuBoth
I am so bummed about that. I’ve loved that space ever since Broken Umbrella Theatre performed in it at Arts & Ideas and was so happy when it became the State House.

Reply to Places open on Christmas? by Brilliant-Theory-680
Lots of Chinese restaurants are open, traditionally. You can also look for activities that non-Christmas-celebrating folks are doing. In Hamden there’s an annual klezmer concert this afternoon because what else would us Jews do today?

I love the grilled cheese at Mikro in Hamden, but I can’t remember if they do tomato soup.

Skate New Haven posts their schedule on FB and Instagram. Look for Open Skate times. They have skate rentals available

The show at Yale Rep right now is really good. See if Yale Cabaret has anything going on too.

Reply to What do you love about New Haven? by lavalamplass
It’s got everything you listed. It’s a small enough city to get around easily, but big enough that there’s always more going than than you can actually do. Lots of visual arts and theater and music, both bigger institutions and more grassroots ones. A couple of queer bars and good lgbtq+ community behind those as well. Decent hiking within a 20-minutes drive and bigger hikes not much further away. CT ski areas are about an 80-minute drive away, and nice Vermont areas about three hours. Lots of good food too, as others have mentioned, including restaurants, food carts, and farmers markets.

Yup, this. My spouse takes the train from New Haven to NYC three times a week, and 45 minutes to the Hartford area isn’t bad at all on the other side.
