That's great to know, thank you!

Thank you, I'll check them out.

I think Bears is doing smoked turkey!

Dads restaurant was taking orders in Wallingford

You have a rosy view of the city. I teach in New Haven and I see another side of the city that is not as hopeful.

Disqualified. Lol jk

9th Square Market. Eddys the kinda guy where when you get to know him you don’t even need to ask for your order. Great prices too

My 750 sq ft apartment in the area ran me around $120-150 a month last year

Cafe Java on Elm at Orange

Nah just go to Marketa on Temple st right there near the green. It's where the locals grab their BECs. Or yeah begining of Orange St has some places.

You can order on snackpass and just pick them up

They’re delicious but in my experience they’re not quick

Oof, union busting? Terrible. Good riddance then.

The workers were organizing to unionize and the owners got scared. They didn’t need the money, so they just shut it down. Just shitty all around, including their coffee. They won’t be missed.

They used to have a $5 bec and coffee deal.

Chaps does a good BEC.

New Haven's great for someone in their 20s, especially living in neighborhoods like East Rock, Wooster, and Westville. A lot of young people around and you'll be walking distance from a ton of bars, restaurants, music venues, etc. Sure, those neighborhoods have a lot of Yale students living in them, but it hardly has any elitist vibe. The downside is that, due to a lot of Yale students living in those neighborhoods, the rent can be surprisingly high compared to the suburbs. But honestly, if you're a single person in their 20s, you'll enjoy New Haven way more than the suburbs - just live with housemates to save on rent.

Yes on the SLOooooooooow

Oh nice!

Already partially reopened as common grounds!

They fired their workers with 3 days notice. Fucking miserable owners. Why highlight that you donate so much to charity when you can’t even take care of your own workers, or even have the basic decency to keep them in the loop about them losing their jobs.

Infuriating.

Seems blue state is getting a lot of hate. I thought it was okay, I always got an iced latte and it always met my expectations. I thought prices were normal too.

9th square market across from Skappo

Also, if it makes the difference, typically in the winter the heat is at 60-65 degrees from most of the places I’ve lived in.

I don't think it's as much of an issue as it would be in Baltimore, since New Haven is also technically a part of the NYC metro region and has lots of other good sized cities around it. I think there are likely about 1,000,000 or more people who work in the general area within a really easy 30-45 minute drive of New Haven (this includes Hartford), and of those, only about 30,000 either work or go to school at Yale or the Yale-New Haven Hospital.I know a lot of people who work in Hartford who live in New Haven for example.

Atticus downtown inside the British Art museum makes an excellent breakfast sandwich. I've also tried Zoi's and Olmo and they are also good.
