The T is not walking tho lol. Boston just has many distinct neighborhoods like back bay, north end, seaport etc that all have their own vibe, shops, restaurants. And those locations are not walkable between them what so ever.

I’m just saying NHV is all densely consolidated in one particular area around the green (first planned city in the US) you can park in any of the garages and never need an Uber for the entire day. Yes a tad unfair to compare to beantown as it’s got like 600k people.

Hey. Sorry to hear about the breakup. You can certainly join meetup groups for whatever you're interested in. Local Facebook groups. When I moved here, I didn't know anyone either but I like cycling so I talked to one of the shops about weekly group rides. Met some people doing that. A lot of the running stores do weekly runs if that's your thing too. Or there's book clubs. Depending on your interests, stop by one of the local shops and just talk to them about upcoming events.

As someone who has lived in both, I find the New Haven has a similar charm to Worcester. Both places in my opinion have nice restaurants and some surprisingly pleasant bars. The big difference is that New Haven is a lot more walkable, the restaurants and other fun things to do are all pretty much in walking distance. However, New Haven definitely can feel more like a big college town at times, whereas Worcester has a bit more of an identity divided from it’s higher Ed. Bottom line, if you like Worcester, you will like New Haven. It also is lovely being so close to NYC.
