New Haven
A small city in Southern Connecticut that is being bought out by Yale University. There are rich sections like Beaver Hill, Westville, East Rock, The Cove, and of course the Yale area. Then there are the hoods, The Ville, Hill, Tre, Tribe, Jungle, Eastern Circle, the G, the 2-5, and some others I forgot. Downtown is full of boutiques and stores at which only Yalies shop. There are tons of public high schools and one prep school, Hopkins. It is ghetto and there are gangs and drugs on every corner but out of state gangsters don't respect the hustling that is going on in New Haven. I wouldn't either, lol. It's pretty safe. Sure it's no Southport, but people shouldn't be afraid of it.

New Haven
A cool city in Connecticut, feels kind of like a scaled down mix of Philly and Brooklyn, has some bad areas but many nice areas as well. New Haven is also home to one of the most prestigious schools in the world, Yale University, and has great art, music, and food.

I live in New York and New Haven pizza is worth the drive.

New Haven
New Haven, One of few cities in Connecticut that isnt the stereotype of what CT is. New Haven is very diverse; Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Indian not to mention all the different ethnic groups included in each race. There are safe sections of New Haven and grimey sections of New Haven, but what city isnt like that ? Most importantly a cool city to grow up in especially if you love the city type vibe. Yea people love to talk down on New Haven, but that just tells you that they're probably just a hater. If you never been to New Haven dont judge it based off of the other parts of Connecticut its nothing like the rest.( Bridgeport and Hartord not included) Home of some of the most humble people CT has to offer. AND THE BEST PIZZA IN THE USA do your research, HA

Person 1 : Connecticut is lame

Person 2 : nah you just never been to New Haven
