The great
geography debate
V
isitors and residents alike are
often divided when characterizing
Connecticut. There are those
who see us as the third member of New
York’s Tri-State area. Others perceive us as
the Gateway to New England, particularly
for travelers flying into the New York metro
airports. Even when it comes to sports, the
state is divided between the New York and
Boston teams.
So what’s Greater New Haven’s stance in
the controversy? To continue the geographic theme, we’re Switzerland. There
are valid arguments for each perspective so
we’ll give you the facts and you can decide
for yourself.
New Haven Michael Marsland/Yale University
New England
Founded by Puritans in 1638, New
Haven is the first planned city in America
with the New Haven Green serving as the
center of nine squares. This quintessentially
New England green still functions as the
epicenter for community life hosting outdoor
concerts, festivals and other events in this
time-honored gathering space.
Traditional Main streets, town greens,
New England countryside, and antique
shops are some of the discoveries you’ll
stumble upon right outside of the city.
You’ll travel through classic Connecticut
countryside, highlighted by ancient stone
walls, Colonial homes and majestic maples.
Head to a number of outlying towns where
you can pick fresh fruit in season, stop at
a roadside stand for fresh corn or attend
one of the region’s annual agricultural fairs,
complete with midways, oxen pulls and
pumpkins of every size.

New Haven’s Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton
gin, had a famously clever, creative mind. A few miles
away from Whitney’s resting place in New Haven’s
historic Grove Street Cemetery, the Eli Whitney
Museum in Hamden harnesses his spirit to
inspire today’s youth. The hands-on learning
center might just turn your child into an inventor. Greater New Haven's lineup of world-class
art museums can overshadow its many kidfriendly institutions. The Yale Peabody Museum
of Natural History boasts breathtaking dinosaur
skeletons—its famous Great Hall is home to a
massive brontosaurus and stegosaurus—and the
highly interactive Connecticut Children's Museum
is just a few blocks away.

Yale
All the City’s a Stage.
In Yale Repertory Theatre and Long Wharf Theatre, the city
can boast two winners of the Tony Award for Regional Theatre—a
rare achievement. Internationally regarded, both theaters have
alternated groundbreaking new work with peerless productions of
classics for over 40 years. And student-run theater here is every bit
as exceptional. The productions of the Yale School of Drama, the
country’s leading theater program, were the breeding ground for actors like Meryl Streep and Paul Giamatti (who returned in 2013 to star
in Hamlet. The Yale Cabaret presents experimental, often dazzling
shows in an intimate space. For something grander and glitzier, the
Shubert Theater brings the best of Broadway to town.

history
Time travel to
the past.
A
gorgeous shoreline town with
a magnificent green, Guilford
boasts a stock of historically significant buildings, many of which are open
to the public during the summer, which
should be lingered over. The town’s most famous structure, the Henry Whitfield House,
is a National Historic Landmark. Built in
1639, the fort-like, thick-walled building
is the oldest stone house in New England
and the oldest house in Connecticut. Other
significant buildings are the Hyland House,
which dates from around 1700 and today
serves as a museum of everyday colonial
life; the Thomas Griswold House Museum,
a late-1770s home with a period blacksmith
shop; and the Dudley Farm, a living, working
replica of a 19th-century farm.
Anyone intrigued by Guilford’s historic
center shouldn’t skip Branford’s Harrison
House, a 1724 house that’s been beautifully
restored. Other notable historic homes in
the region include the Stone-Otis House
in Orange, a Greek Revival home restored
to its original early-1800s condition, and
Woodbridge’s Thomas Darling House,
a stately 18th-century estate (open by
appointment).
Eli Whitney Museum
Kindra Clineff
2013 marked the 375th anniversary of
the founding of New Haven, one of the nine
squares of the first planned city in America.
And speaking of firsts, we are the home
of the first cotton gin (you can visit the Eli
Whitney Museum in Hamden), American
submarine, clinical use of penicillin and
heart-lung machine.
The region’s past isn’t all that’s been
preserved. The Shore Line Trolley Museum
in East Haven, a National Historic Site with
over 100 vintage trolleys, is a must for
children or train hobbyists. Visitors can even
hop on a pristinely restored antique trolley
car that still runs along its original tracks.

GREATER NEW HAVEN
CULTURAL & VISITORS GUIDE
architecture
Connecticut Hall
Michael Marsland/Yale University
Architecture: From
Connecticut Hall to Cesar Pelli
N
ew Haven is lined with reasons
to look up. The tree-shaded, mansion-lined Hillhouse Avenue was
described by Charles Dickens as “the most
beautiful street in America.” The town green
is a New England classic; the downtown is
crowded with beautiful Georgian churches.
Cass Gilbert, the great Beaux-Arts architect,
designed Union Station and the municipal
library. And then there’s the Yale campus:
from Connecticut Hall, built in 1752, to
Harkness Tower, a magnificent stone carillon, Yale has left an imposing architectural
legacy. It’s best seen on the free public tours
the University offers twice daily on weekdays (and once daily on weekends), which
take visitors behind the wrought-iron gates.
But neither New Haven nor Yale are
stuck in the past. In fact, architects take
vacation here for the modernist buildings.
These begin with Louis Kahn’s stark Yale
University Art Gallery, a model of quiet,
geometric beauty that completed a $135
million renovation in 2012. Across the street
is the Yale Center for British Art, Kahn’s last
building, with an interior—bare concrete,
rich white oak panels—that somehow
rhymes perfectly. The entire museum hums
with warmth. Nearby, the newly restored
Yale School of Art and Architecture, once
controversial, is now acclaimed as Paul
Rudolph’s culminating work. Even Yale’s
hockey rink—a whale-like shape designed
by Eero Saarinen—is legendary. So is the
Beinecke Rare Book Library, which is clad in
thin marble panes that filter incoming light,
preventing damage to the rare books. The
interior glows; it has the solemn majesty of
a church.
With all this inspiration and a steady influx
of brilliant students, New Haven today is
an epicenter for working architects. Cesar
Pelli, the former dean of the Yale School of
Architecture and the acclaimed architect of
buildings like Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, works out of downtown New Haven.
And he’s surrounded: there are dozens of
former Yale architecture students who have
set up shop here; more stick around every
year. It’s a collection of talent that ensures
the buildings of New Haven’s future will live
up to those of its past.
Yale campus tours are held weekdays at
10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and weekends at 1:30
p.m.; no reservations necessary. For more
information, stop by Yale’s Visitor Center at
149 Elm Street.

GREATER NEW HAVEN
CULTURAL & VISITORS GUIDE
There’s no doubt
Greater New Haven
is an international
dining destination.
The restaurant
names say it all.
R
estaurants such as Barcelona,
Som Siam Thai Restaurant,
Anna Liffey’s Irish Pub, Coromandel Cuisine of India, and La Luna promise a
multicultural feast and they deliver deliciously. Not too long ago the core ethnic
dining experience in Greater New Haven
was based upon our strong Italian-American
heritage, from the famed coal-fired apizza
from Pepe’s and Sally’s to the elegant dining
of Tre Scalini. While we haven’t forsaken
our culinary roots we’ve certainly expanded
our horizons. Our region (a mere 369
square miles) offers cuisine from Ethiopia,
Malaysia, Asia, Austria, France, Greece,
Mexico, Japan, Cuba…the list goes on
and on.
We enthusiastically embrace global
fare but we still cherish our local produce.
Restaurants throughout the region incorporate fruits, vegetables, honey and cheese
from neighboring farms into their seasonal
menus. While the recipes are perpetually evolving, the results are consistently
delectable at Claire’s Corner Copia, Zinc,
Miya’s Sushi and Heirloom at The Study.
And since no mouth-watering meal would
be complete without a glass of vino, indulge
in the fruits of the local vineyards’ labor with
wine from Chamard, Gouveia, Paradise
Hills, Savino or Bishop’s vineyards and
wineries.

CULTURAL & VISITORS GUIDE
leisure
It’s always a great
time to visit Greater
New Haven.
S
outhern Connecticut’s climate
offers four seasons of action. At
the first sign of spring, shed the
winter gear and celebrate nature’s reawakening with The Audubon Shop’s annual bird
walks at Hammonasset Beach State Park,
the stunning Japanese cherry blossoms
along Wooster Street and the breathtaking
Daffodil Festival (600,001 bulbs in all of their
glory) at Hubbard Park.
Blessed with 40 miles of prime
shoreline, sunbathing, swimming, and
cruising the Thimble Islands are cherished
summer pursuits. Soak up the arts
outdoors at the International Festival of Arts
& Ideas, the Annual Craft Expo (Guilford)
and performances by Elm City Shakespeare
in Edgewood Park. The festival season
kicks off in August with the Potato and Corn
Festival (North Branford), Oyster Festival
(Milford) and Odyssey (Orange).
With the refreshing fall air more fairs
beckon. The North Haven and Durham
fairs are timeless New England agricultural
events with livestock, rides and customary
carnival treats. Head to the farms to pick
your own apples and pumpkins or challenge
your sense of direction in puzzling corn
mazes. If you want to marvel at dazzling fall
foliage, try Rt. 63 through Woodbridge and
Bethany.
Seasonal lights and holiday shopping merge beauty and practicality from
Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day. In
the town centers you are surrounded by festive decorations while you explore eclectic
boutiques on the quest for the perfect gift.
If ruthless efficiency is your shopping game
Scoot & Paddle
plan, proceed directly to The Shops at Yale
to whip through your list. In your travels,
revel in the illuminated beauty of Silver
Lights in Hubbard Park or Fantasy of Lights
at Lighthouse Point Park.
Ward off the post-holiday blues with
a fun-filled and educational trip to Yale
Peabody Museum. If you are a hearty soul,
brave the frosty weather to track eagles and
seals on their annual pilgrimages.

mart tour planners call Greater
New Haven an undiscovered gem.
With over 375 years of history beneath our feet and the international appeal
of Yale University, we belong on any thinking
tour group’s itinerary.
History here is alive and out and about.
New Haven is a city meant for walking
tours, ranging from a short stroll on the town
green to a long afternoon’s worth of ambling
through early American history. The compact
city center makes the logistics simple. Park
the tour bus and walk: almost everything
you need is within a few strides. Student
and educational tours will find New Haven
a natural fit: the gorgeous stone structures
and hallowed libraries of Yale University are
nothing if not an advertisement for lifelong
learning. A tour of Yale, guaranteed to leave
a lasting impression, is a must for any age
group. Younger visitors looking for something more playful will delight in attractions
56
like the Peabody Museum, with its massive
dinosaur skeletons; older groups should
consider the charming town greens of
shoreline villages, perfect spots for a stroll,
some shopping, and lunch. For shopping
alone, stop by regional highlights like Clinton
Crossing Premium Outlets and IKEA New
Haven.
New Haven is also an ideal destination
for arts groups: visitors can see a Van Gogh
at Yale University Art Gallery and then cross
the street to take in J.M.W. Turner’s genius
at the Yale Center for British Art. Or focus
on architecture, from Gothic courtyards to
seminal modernist landmarks. Our dense,
diverse restaurant scene has already
inspired a series of food tours; organize
your own itinerary or sign up for the popular
downtown culinary tour. For information

CULTURAL & VISITORS GUIDE
day trip
Mystic Seaport
Michael Melford
Into the Mystic:
A Day trip to Mystic, Connecticut
Y
ou can still hear the call of the
sea in Mystic, a tiny town tucked
away at the opening of Long
Island Sound. A living museum of what life
used to feel like at the edge of the Atlantic,
Mystic is just a short, salty daytrip from New
Haven. Here’s our roadmap:
The route from New Haven to Mystic—Interstate 95—takes you past many tempting
reasons to pull over early. You can restock
your maritime history library at Niantic’s
Book Barn: the extraordinary store has some
350,000 books, shelved in a half-dozen
buildings. For art from the whaling era, see
the American Impressionist paintings at Old
Lyme’s Florence Griswold Museum. New
London, next door to Mystic, trailed New
Bedford and Nantucket as a whaling port, a
wealthy past that’s visible today in the city’s
old mansions.
Once you hit Mystic—a charming,
characteristically New England seaside
town—head for Mystic Seaport, the largest
maritime museum in the world, and gasp. In
a day—or even a whole weekend—you can
only skim the riches: a living history village
with numerous period shops, from nautical
instrument merchants to woodcarvers; some
1 million seafaring artifacts from a time gone
by; 480 sailing vessels, including several
national historic landmarks. Climb aboard
tall ships, take an early coal-fired steamboat
up the Mystic River, watch demonstrations
of coopering or sail-setting. From ship to
shore, Mystic Seaport conjures up a lost,
treacherous time.
Close by there’s the Mystic Aquarium
& Institute for Exploration, the home of
many rarely seen marine animals, including Steller sea lions, African penguins,
and beluga whales. Dr. Robert Ballard,
a scientist-explorer who discovered the
resting place of the Titanic, is founder and
president of the Ocean Exploration Center
at Mystic Aquarium. You can go along with
him: visitors here can relive Ballard’s daring
discovery of the Titanic and explore the
natural wonders of the deep ocean.
Any trip to Mystic should end with a
proper seaside meal, and the lobsters
and chowder at Abbott's Lobster in the
Rough—a couple of miles from Mystic and
a few steps from the water—are hard to top,
although there’s no shortage of nearby clam
shacks and seafood restaurants to argue the
point. Take your time with the lobster pick.
It’s hard work being a landlubber.

The 5 People
You ‘Meet’ in
New Haven
Joseph Cinqué (Sengbe Pieh)
The most well-known of the captives of
the Amistad schooner, Cinqué played an
integral role in the trial that took place in
New Haven. In 1840, the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled Cinque and his shipmates had
been kidnapped and sold illegally. Awarded
their freedom, their case marked a major
advancement in the Civil Rights Movement.
A sculpture dedicated to Joseph Cinqué is
located in front of New Haven City Hall.
Louis Lassen
Necessity is the mother of invention. In 1900
Louis Lassen solved a harried customer’s
dilemma by providing a to-go sandwich of
ground beef between two slices of toast
and thus the hamburger sandwich was
born. Louis’ descendants are still cooking
burgers on the original grill at Louis’ Lunch
on Crown St.
Maya Lin
Lin earned both Bachelor and Master of Arts
degrees from Yale University. Best known
as the designer of the Vietnam Veteran’s
Memorial in our nation’s capital, Lin also
designed the Women’s Table located at Yale
outside the Sterling Memorial Library.
Cesar Pelli
A protégé of Eero Saarinan (architect of
Ingalls Rink, a.k.a. The Yale Whale), Pelli
served as the Dean of the Yale University
School of Architecture and New Haven is
the current home of his architectural firm.
His famed works include the World Financial
Center in New York City, Bank of America
Corporate Center in Charlotte, N.C., and
Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Several
of Pelli’s designs can be seen on the Yale
campus including the Golden Center, the
Lanman Center and the Boyer Center for
Molecular Medicine.
Louis’ Lunch
Derek Dudek
Eli Whitney
Whitney, world-renowned inventor of the
cotton gin, graduated from Yale University in
1792. The Eli Whitney Museum, located on
the former site of Whitney’s musket factory,
provides a fascinating study of the man
and is where children can learn the science
of mechanics. Whitney died in New Haven
in 1825 and is buried in the Grove Street
Cemetery.

and the Thimble Islands
A
small former fishing village, Stony Creek has an out-of-time charm. The scenic

pizza or wander down to the water, where the Thimble Islands glitter offshore. The rumored
hiding place of Captain Kidd's treasure, the 23 inhabited islands are now home to private
Victorian homes, passed down between generations. Seasonal ferry tours take sightseeing
visitors out through the rocky passages and around this floating neighborhood.

CULTURAL & VISITORS GUIDE

Taking care
of business.
W
here to stay is a crucial decision in the vacation planning
process. In the end it comes
down to a simple choice. Are you looking
for a place that is an integral part of your
getaway experience or do you view your
accommodations as a place to store your
luggage while you explore? Either way, we
have plenty of choices. Upscale hotels in
the heart of the city, and off-the-beatenpath bed and breakfasts pamper guests
with exceptional surroundings and an array
of amenities. Need to be more budget
conscious? That’s not a problem. We’ve
got great options for economical, clean and
comfortable rooms, too.
Traveling to Greater New Haven
by air, rail or road couldn’t be more
straightforward. Our own little gem of an
airport, Tweed New Haven Regional Airport,
is less than five miles from the New Haven
Green, and Bradley International is an easy
drive up I-91. Prefer to travel by train? New
Haven’s Union Station is served by Amtrak,
Metro-North and Shoreline East. Weekdays
a free shuttle (look for a neon green bus)
transports travelers downtown. If you
are partial to driving, we are conveniently
located near I-91, I-95 and Rt. 15 (Merritt
Parkway/Wilbur Cross Parkway).
