New Haven
New Haven is a vibrant community that illustrates all the great benefits of a small city lifestyle. Home to Yale University, world-class community art and theatre and a great food scene (we’re not just world-famous pizza!!), there are plenty of opportunities to explore new restaurants, museums, and live entertainment. There are over 150 food carts across the city every day for lunch, many of which are right outside the hospital! Anyone feel like Korean or Ethiopian for lunch??
New Haven is also close to many beautiful attractions in nature, including the beaches of Long Island sound and the hiking trails of Sleeping Giant State Park. You can easily explore the beauty of nature and the excitement of the city on the same Saturday.
