In the heart of New Haven, this residential downtown area boasts a variety of restaurants, cafes, theaters, and stores. Explore the arts at Chapel Street Historic District, Broadway area, and Ninth Square district, or visit the Shops at Yale.
Wooster Square feels like a slice of old-world Italy dropped into Connecticut. Tree-lined streets and elegant 19th-century homes surround the charming central park with its Victorian gazebo. Food pilgrims flock to the legendary pizza triangle where Pepe's and Sally's have perfected coal-fired pies that made New Haven famous. St. Michael's Italian Church stands as a testament to the neighborhood's rich cultural heritage.
The compact area is perfect for exploring on foot, though street parking is available if you're driving. Most visitors stay in nearby downtown New Haven hotels or charming bed & breakfasts in converted historic homes. Beyond the famous pizzerias, you'll find traditional Italian-American restaurants serving hearty portions that won't break the bank.
Prominent trap rock ridge East Rock lends its name to this neighborhood, popular among Yale affiliates and cyclists. Explore East Rock Park or visit the lively Upper State Street commercial district.
Waterfront district with a mix of commercial, industrial, and recreational facilities, Long Wharf offers attractions like Long Wharf Theatre and Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park. Easily accessible via Interstates 95 and 91, and Church Street Bridge.

Wander through Yale University's campus, where Gothic spires and world-class museums make even the most jaded visitor feel suddenly scholarly. The Yale Art Gallery houses masterpieces that major cities would envy, all free for your perusal. New Haven's true claim to fame might be its 'apizza' – thin-crust pies from Frank Pepe's or Sally's that locals defend with religious fervor. The New Haven Green anchors downtown, surrounded by theaters where Broadway shows often test their legs before hitting the big time. At the Peabody Museum, dinosaurs loom over exhibits that children find mesmerizing. Even the trees have history here – the city's elm-planting program was America's first, explaining that old 'Elm City' nickname.
New Haven is a family-friendly city where you can spend time appreciating the art scene and the theater scene.
Take a campus tour or explore the surrounding area of Yale University. A stop at other sights like Shubert Theater and New Haven City Hall will create memories.
