Garbage ass spot. Feels like eating in a mcplayplace for 20 somethings who sold their souls to do business consultation.

New haven is weird bc u get people in living in very different income brackets living in very close quarters with one another.

At times living there it felt a bit like some sort of dystopian fantasy setting.

I would say it's a great place to be if you're going right from college with a well paying job.

It's not a great place to be if you're young, making less than 6 figures.

I bartended on crown and college for a while - financially speaking I was fine - nonetheless waiting on Yale students and affiliates made me bitter to no end. My blood boils still just thinking about it.

Most of the under 30s do not know true suffering and it shows.

Not worth it. Left the city and moved back to Boston where I grew up.

Tldr I had a hard time making friends

have friends who worked\ there, can confirm she is a massive bitch

Bro heirloom is possibly the worst restaurant in town. Everytime I'm there it's full disaster mode

Harvest, south bay, are both S tier.

Rudy's is nice for getting hammered alone in peace and quiet.

Owl shop can be nice.

Archie moores and Chris Martin's in East Rock

You will meet people at geronimo/bar/crown street but they will be awful

If you want to make friends in the bar scene I would suggest getting a part time job there...

Yeah also something 50-60% of the property value in the city is owned by yale, and is untaxable by city law. If it were taxed like anything else in the city it would come out to like 20-30 times more than what they "donate" to the city every year

Yale

Okay so the one thing you need to be fully prepared for is that - you will be very very close to the emergency room, like we're talking 3 or 4 blocks and so you will hear sirens blaring at every hour of the day if your windows are open

Luv that place with my whole soul.
