There is an independent car rental place off exit 50 (I-95). Forgot the name.

G’s has the best pastries!

Or lunch. The savory crepes are outstanding.

Used to go there from East Haven almost once to once a week, we’ve always loved that place

That place has surprisingly good food

I'm in a very similar place as what you described in terms of square footage, being single person, floor number, and being away during the day. However, I leave 2 grow lights on during the day and keep the thermostat at 70 (winter) and 74 (summer) for a cold blooded pet. My windows are pretty drafty too, even with weather tape.

My average UI bill this year was $65/month. I pay a flat $27/month to my building for water, gas, and sewer. I also pay $47/month for the cheapest Xfinity wifi package (building requires we use Xfinity) and $6/month for renters insurance (required by lease). Best of luck!

Oh man that’s so much worse than mine! Hope you’re surviving

Man our street flooded during the storm the other day and knocked out my water heater. Been without hot water for days 😭 I tried getting the pilot up but I think it's water logged, it won't reignite

Gotcha. UI doesn't seem to inspire quite the same level of hate, but that's probably because Eversource is much bigger. Their rates are similar, and UI is maybe a little more on the ball getting power back on after storms.

Yeah I’m in eversource now but when I move I’ll be in UI if that’s all the New Haven has. Is UI considered better than Eversource typically?

So if you are 40 minutes East of NH, you probably actually are in Eversource territory.

They get kind of a bad rap, though. Electricity is expensive right now because gas is the main fuel used by power generators in CT, and the cost of gas is through the roof. Eversource needs to work on customer service and keeping delivery costs down, but the current uproar is due to something the company doesn't control or profit from.

Parthenon diner branford

Menya Gumi is definitely open downtown and delicious. Bar used to promote as open 365 days a year; not sure though

I dropped you a message. Let us know how we can help. Merry Christmas.

Ward 9 (State St) has a complimentary lasagna dinner starting at 5pm!

Thank you so much! That’s very helpful to know! I’m about 40 mins east of New Haven on the shoreline rn and eversource has been the fucking gift the keeps on giving. The idea of having it out of my life is amazing…

Mamouns should be open and most of the Chinese and Indian places are usually open.

The Chinese place across from the Yale children’s hospital entrance is usually open on Christmas, they used to be cash only, not sure if that’s changed in the past year or two though

I don't doubt the negative experiences but I have been seeing KC at Soho for three years and am very happy. I have fine, straight, highlighted hair.

New Haven and all abutting towns have United Illuminating. You can choose a different genation supplier, but UI owns the lines and poles and will be your electric utility. Southern Connecticut Gas is the gas utility for the area, and the Regional Water Authority provides water service.

You can ask them for estimates (the utility company once you figure it out) based on what the last tenant used.

I have a ~750 sq ft apartment in New Britain and pay about $35-40 a month in electricity (most of which is the delivery, thanks eversource). I'm work mostly from home now. That being said, hot water is included in my rent so it would likely be higher if it was included.

i don't know about the tech, but is my favorite local theater, only thing it's missing is snack delivery to your seat.

Skull & Combs in East Rock

The owner is a dope, and the manager that's been there forever is toxic+++++++. Not surprising at all!
