Dustin Ranciato out of Guilford is excellent.

Make sure you have windshield coverage on your insurance and replacement is free. Not even a deductible Needed.

Payless autoglass has nice glass. Its clear and see through not like those bad glossy glass

Thanks so much!

Yale has lots of graduate students and post docs and scsu and unh are also close to or in town

Average age is 31, which is younger than NYC or Boston (a little surprisingly to me). It can be considered a college town, but it's a relatively small college. This is not like Gainesville or Penn State where the population is outnumbered. Plenty to do outside of the university bubble. Also lots of great stuff here because of the university. It's a great balance, IMHO. As a "pub guy" you will find many places to go that are not overrun by students. Unless you're looking for that - you can find plenty of those too!

I was going to post about the public schools. Several have pools. Conte West Hills and Career High both had open swim a few years back, maybe worth checking if these are closer to you. I would call the number below and ask which schools offer swimming and how you can get a schedule. They don't advertise widely.

Lots of good bars,breweries and music venues, definitely a younger crowd due to Yale & other universities. I work near downtown and my coworkers and I go out to happy hours a lot which are easy to find and within walking distance of each other. Super easy to take the metro into NYC. I’ve caught a bunch of yankee games when the tickets are only $4. UConn basketball tickets are reasonable, too and you can take the train there for cheap so you can drink and not worry about driving. Boston is also close as well as Providence. I’m 31 and love living here - always something to do.

On a new car you should have comprehensive insurance and if you do have a deductible it would be a lot less then any cash offer and it doesn’t go against you. Triumph glass is excellent. I did auto glass for 13 years

Have heard ok things about Whalley glass. Haven't used personally.

Awesome, thanks!!

east rock market food hall stays open til 10pm Fri and Sat, and mostly 9pm other days.

what do tattoo shops do on friday the 13th

New Haven has a great youthful scene. Not only does it have bars, but it has tons of breweries in and around existing towns really good ones too. Lots of live music there’s Café nine the palace they’ve got Shubert theater and Yale rep. Rudy’s bar is pretty fun good hang out it’s a pizza town. If you like pizza, there’s tons to choose from there’s Sallys and Pepe‘s in the Guinness world, book of records in the ocean is so close by lots of woods for hiking- you’re between New York City, Rhode Island, and Boston. It’s a good place to meet people, especially in your age group.

Most don’t. It’s a shit show most people don’t want to deal with.

West haven high school. The branford Y

Nope! Open to anyone

Do you have to be a new haven resident?

Easy to get to nyc or Boston though for whatever sport you like though.

I called 3, and all said they aren’t doing anything for Friday…thought maybe it had become a thing of the past. would be interested to know if you find one!

I'm seriously not being sarcastic here...... have you ever seen a tattoo shop that doesn't do something for Friday the 13th around here?

That’s reality in any remotely desirable city. No amount of designated affordable housing will change that.

New Haven needs to focus on developing mixed use areas and public transit asap. It’s CT’s best shot at having a really solid city

It's a college town with a few universities in town and just outside. It has its rough edges if you are outside the college bubbles. (But the bubbles eat into the city) music, food, plays , and bars dominate. Average age is in the mid to late 20s. Lots of post docs. You can take a train right to grand central. It's pretty expensive like all of connecticut
