Beyond New Haven
Quinnipiac is situated in the town of
Hamden, named one of America’s Best
Places to Live by Money Magazine
2014. Next to the University is Sleeping
Giant State Park, a great area for hiking
with stunning views from the summit.
You can enjoy a program of summer
music concerts in Meadowbrook Park
and delicious homemade ice cream
from Wentworth’s, a local favorite.
With its many museums, galleries and
theaters, New Haven is the culture
capital of Connecticut and home to Yale
University. America’s oldest museum,
the Yale University Art Gallery, boasts
a supreme collection including Van
Gogh’s ‘The Night Café’, while the
Beinecke Library is popular for both its
outstanding rare book collection and
unique modern architecture.
On the weekend, take the University’s
shuttle bus to New Haven for shopping
in the downtown area, or stroll along
Chapel Street taking in the gift shops,
boutiques and architecture. The famous
Neapolitan pizza is a must-try and
sushi, Thai and Italian restaurants are
very popular. Watch the latest movies
at the stylish Bow Tie Cinema or enjoy
lunch and browse through the books at
the eclectic Atticus Bookstore.
The large student population in the
area means that there is fantastic
nightlife every night of the week and
something for everyone. Try Firehouse
12 or the iconic Toad’s Place for local
bands and live music, or the Joker’s
Wild Comedy Club for the funniest
show in town.
For a relaxing day with your new
friends, visit the historic New Haven
Green in downtown New Haven,
or take a picnic to Lighthouse Point
Park and enjoy the ocean views of
Long Island Sound. The Sleeping
Giant Golf Course is right next to
the University and there is always
an exciting local baseball, hockey or
basketball game to watch.
New York City is just a 90-minute train
ride away and perfect for a day trip to
shop, dine out, and watch a Broadway
musical. The historic city of Boston is
two and a half hours northeast. There
are many surrounding areas of natural
beauty within the state of Connecticut
that are perfect for day trips, such as
West Rock Ridge State Park and the
Kent Falls State Park.
