The epicenter of business and culture in Connecticut is in New Haven. This city is home to some of the most famous businesses, schools, and people of all time. The city is so famous, in fact, that even the town green is on the list of National Landmarks.
It isn't difficult to understand why New Haven became such a popular city. It is known as the middle point between New York City and Boston and has convenient travel options to both cities. The large highways of I-91 and I-95 (and Route 15) run directly through the heart of the city. New Haven is also right on the Long Island Sound, which provided settlers a great port in the harbor for trade and exporting.
In New Haven, you'll find many destinations and theaters dedicated to the arts, especially in the Yale district. Yale University is known as one of, if not the, most prestigious schools in the world. Presidents, actors, philanthropists, and great thinkers of our time and throughout American History have graduated from Yale.
The public college of Southern Connecticut State University is also in New Haven, and this school has followed the trend of revitalization in the city. Yale is known for its classic architecture and historical buildings, but the rest of the city has undergone a "facelift" of sorts over the past two decades. The downtown (Broadway) area is a center for arts and entertainment and also is home to the large Yale Bookstore.
New Haven also has a bit of everything. Yes, you'll see the skyscrapers of a large city, but you'll also see quaint New England storefronts to small businesses and suburban-style neighborhoods that are great for raising a family. Wooster Street is a famous center for Italian-Americans in New Haven, as the city has Italian roots from the the turn of the 20th Century. You'll find two of America's first Pizza Restaurants, Pepe's and Sally's, that serve a true pizza, just like they do in the "old country" of Naples, Italy.
