Thanks! I'll check out Wallingford

Yeah I'm not expecting much in terms of quality of Mexican food but hoping there are at least some Mexican markets so she can get some ingredients she needs for food at home.

How does your bf like the area overall?

The security folks are pretty active around the parking lot and they're very helpful, I'd go and speak to them if you have any lingering concerns.

I agrée it looks sketchy but I’ve never had a problem.

never experienced a problem here myself; never heard of anybody i know having a problem either.

even the bike rack here is fairly secure, which, in new haven, is wild

Walk

The city upgraded their platforms, use Park New Haven website, they (city of NH) run that Broadway surface lot opp. The Apple Store

I have left cars there many times to go to NYC before including my friend’s convertible Camaro and also never had problems!

For New Haven, the parking is pretty safe. Possibly because the police station is across the street

agreed, Wallingford is nicer but definitely tends to be racist

Awesome thank you!

I don’t know how long you need to park or when but there are often metered spaces on York between B’way and Grove in the evening. Could also try along Elm between Howe and York.

I do it once a week and have never had a problem.

I live in Wooster Square, but I’m coming from state street essentially onto Grove/York by the Yale Athletic Facilities

Where are you coming from?

Meetup for sure. REI also does classes for a bunch of things (not sure hiking specifically) and such too so you could schedule one of those.

Have fun!

The Mexican food is terrible in CT 😩 I miss Cali but not the homelessness.

My airbnb is near the Stop & Shop in Whalley Ave!

Absolutely. I will try all these places and the other suggested, trying to find the perfect italian/american pizza in NH! Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much Doug for the kind words! Of course I will pass by Next Door and come shake your hand! Again, thank you so much! :)

Thank you everyone for your answers, they were really helpful, hope to meet ya all in New Haven!

Check out the fair haven heights, it’s the hills right across the river from fair haven and is a lot nicer but still maintains a big Latino population

In connecticut you just are not going to find mexican neighborhoods. There are a lot of latino neighborhoods though. This is because for decades we’ve always had the carribian influence. You’ll find that puerto rican and dominican are the biggest latino groups. After that you’ll also influences from mexico, colombia, cuba, ecuador, peru and others. There are some good mexican restaurants and grocery stores to be found. I love taqueria mexico in wallingford!
