Yea I’d strongly recommend New Haven. You can totally Uber around and you also have access to Metro North so if you wanted to do a day in New York City or visit other towns it’s super easy.

Bills seafood in Westbrook. The old Lyme sports tavern in old lyme.... Born and raised here in ct my 51 years here. Couple good pizza places too. Pepes in New haven. There is a kick ass go Cart track in Wallingford. Ct is not that big so it might be worth a trip.
Enjoy your stay we do have a lot of taxes here....but if your visiting its not so bad. Come on over....

I think its a reddit thing where so many people think making friends is hard.
We get post like these all the time in this subreddit. Just talk to people and go out into the world. Even with Instagram I have made legit friends in other states not joking.

Hi! I’m from Connecticut but lived in the UK for a decade. Happy to answer any questions. Honestly, if you want to see non tourist American, Connecticut would be great. But you really need a car. If you want nightlife and to avoid Boston or New York then New Haven is your best bet.

Bristol. 25.25/hr, but I’ve been a homeowner since around when I was making about 18 or 19/hr. It’s a 940sqft house with a detached garage and about a .5 acre of land. It’s just me and Ninja Kitty.

I love Connecticut (I live in NYC and visit friends there often, it’s about an hour on the train to where they live), but it’s definitely not a destination for a trip like you’re planning. There’s really no nightlife to speak of. There are nice restaurants here and there but you’ll need a car, and you’ll basically be spending most of the time in the car driving from wherever your hotel is to random spots. There isn’t any sightseeing other than quiet, residential beaches.
If I were you, I’d visit Boston instead. It’s not as touristy as NYC, but there’s tons of great stuff to see and experience, and it’s definitely the “real” U.S. Its super walkable city with tons of good restaurants and bars and clubs and nightlife, as well as fun and interesting things to see and do during the day. You can also do side trips to see more of the U.S., like out to Cape Cod like others have mentioned, or Salem, or Newport Rhode Island.

There are tons of local breweries in Connecticut. If you getting beers, keep it local. And a dollar a beer is usually a standard tip.

Marijuana and maybe Shrooms?
This should help with the boredom that is always talked about

I would highly recommend renting a car and do many of the things people suggested. It would be easier and more economical than getting Ubers everywhere

New Haven has a great food scene and the best pizza in the world. There are several museums, theaters, and concert venues around the Yale Campus. I would recommend checking out Toads Plcae
You can also get an Uber to Hammonasset Beach State Park which has a great nature preserve. There might also be a bus line that stops there.
From new haven you can also visit several local breweries like NebCo and Two Roads. You can also catch a metro north train the NYC, but you could easily.

I would fire your travel agent. As big as the US is there are so many better places with better people.

Mystic has a pretty wide selection of stuff. Places to walk around. Old Mystic village for some fun shops. As well as the Mystix Aquarium and the Seaport Museum. The Submarine Force Museum is in nearby Groton if you are interested in Submarine history as well as being able to tour the Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine. And the casinos (Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods) are also a short drive away.
