A criminal justice degree can be used for many things other than being a police officer, you don't even need a degree to be a cop.

I'm from the Chicago area and local (New Haven) pizzas are flat, burned and inedible.

The bubbles are the BEST PART. Whaat

Shows how much you get out or know about your city youve been around so long

It's safe. A little run down

Yes, being a lab rat for Drug companies is such a good idea... r/WCGW

An overdose every day? Cool story bro.

Calling downtown a good area says enough about your standards. I worked in down town and literally saw an overdose every single shift I worked except for snow days . Living in downtown would be comparable to living in any hood area like any new haven native would tell you .

I worked in New Haven for 3 years and have lived in the area for 12 years. I’m plenty familiar with downtown and am there multiple times a week. I, nor anyone I know, has ever had an issue there. Sure things happen, but consider that hundreds of thousands of people pass through downtown every year and it’s no more dangerous than any major city.

You just called down town good 😂😂😂😂 you definitely aren’t from the city

Let’s see.

Good: downtown, East Rock, Wooster Square, East Shore, Morris Cove, Prospect Hill, Westville

OK/Marginal: Edgewood, Dwight, Amity, Q Meadows, Beaver Hills

Bad: Fair Haven, The Hill, Newhallville, Dixwell

It evens out, and most population are in OK areas.

Also I don’t say any of this town down talk new haven I actually love the city personally I’m just aware it’s not a generally safe area and it isn’t somewhere I plan on raising my kid

That’s definitely not the case

Most prevalent? What does that even mean? New Haven has just as many good areas as bad.

Don’t forget the ville and the trey(dk how to spell it) . I’m not just naming places they are the most prevalent areas in the city all which have high crime rates

I like the author Robert Sietsema. He has covered the New York food scene for decades formerly for the Village Voice, reporting on spots with no-frills-but-still-delicious food. A lot of the places he reviews are hole-in-the-wall restaurants in the outer boroughs with hard to find regional cuisines. That being said, I also go to Sally's every week and enjoy some char on my pizza.

The headline is a little misleading. His take is a little more nuanced. He's not pro-char, but he isn't entirely anti-char. I interpret what he wrote to be lamenting that expensive pizza places will make a poor quality, overcooked pizza and use the word char to excuse it. The bubbles on the pizzas in the pictures are indeed indicative of lack of quality control.

They've been in that amazing location since the 70s and just added outdoor seating in what like the 2000s? They've been a joke for as long as I can remember. Basically just a historical landmark in my eyes

You just named 2 of the highest crime areas of the city 🙄

That’s a stretch. Plenty of safe areas in New Haven.

Jimmie’s is insane. They’re a failing restaurant that’s trying to block a COMPLIMENTARY business that will bring hundreds of thousands of people to their vicinity. Idiots. No wonder they’ve squandered that great location.

Individual towns have groups , you are welcome

I’m pretty sure what op is asking for in other words is to not live in the hood which most places in new haven qualify as

I've lived all over New Haven. Maybe we have a different definition of safe. As a general rule none of those people are out to hurt you. Most of them won't bother you at all if you don't bother them. Keep your head about you and treat everyone you come across as a human being and you'll generally be fine.

Also, there's enough areas of New Haven that don't have any of what you mentioned.

hi! i’m currently a student at unh studying criminal justice! it’s a great program :) best of luck with your degree!

It might be Hill Top Terrace? Not sure
