New Haven: Reveal Thyself

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Whereas at some other schools the students just kill their roommates.

Friends don't let friends visit New Haven.

Friends don't let friends visit New Haven.

I think all the small towns in Connecticut are really nice and all the "cities" really suck.

There were lots of New Haven doo wop groups, but um I'm forgetting the names.

I don't like New Haven, even though my mum went to Yale and I spent 3 years coming up with excuses not to have to visit her. ;-)

But, yeah, there's ... stuff. (And the movie theatre is right next to the Barnes & Noble co-op, isn't it?)

New Haven bands worth a damn right about now = I dunno. Once upon a time, there was 33.3 and the One AM Radio, but they skedaddled / reconfigured (and, while I like them both plenty, they aren't very "rocking") (the Positive-Negative Men rocked in a sub-Devo way, but damned if I know what happened to them) (& there was that rockin' post-rock quartet that used to be called Cassius, but renamed). Kate has no right to slag off the Butterflies or Miracle Legion, though.

And note that the best small towns to visit in CT (from what I can gather) are found on the borders of the state, or thereabouts.

No one's mentioned Grove Street Cemetery, totally cool, spooky graveyard with the motto on the gate, "The Dead Shall Be Raised." Referring to the Grateful Dead, of course, depending on whom you ask. You may not be able to get into the cemetery anymore, but it's worth a climb over the wall!

Walk through Sterling Library. A Cathedral to books.

Mory's is actually a private eating club--even though it tastes like a diner. You probably wouldn't have much trouble getting someone to take you in though, but then they'd have to pay for you because Mory's doesn't take money. Everything goes on an account.

I'm posting this right now from Sterling Library, about to go find some of that famous NH pizza after a dizzying number of hours poring over old letters in loopy handwriting. This library truly is a cathedral to books (and manuscripts, which is why I'm here).

FAB? Anyone fancy a breakfast? Meet me at The Doodle at 8 a.m. (sharp!) tomorrow morning (Thursday)!

Now I imagine Scott greeting her every day with this when she wakes up.

The walk there is kind of long, taking you across the West River, which looks rather nice in the dark, but the 80-year-old home of the New Haven County Cutters is a pretty great destination.

i've been dreaming about new haven a lot lately. i miss it.

That's cool. I can't judge. I'd be lost w/o the Rave megaplex out there, and my partner practically lives at BJ's.

Dear Bulldog Burrito, my hangover was made for you; I feel like a greater person now.

Truth.

always thought bulldog burrito was a bit rubbish, but yeah I bet it's great hangover food

I mean, it's the local Chipotle and I fucking love Chipotle

I always liked that they have like 10 different tabasco flavors

there are so, so many law offices in victorian houses in this city

how can a small town even have so many lawyers? is it just yale students suing each other

where does one get a bagel in this town

probably near that famous pizza joint? dunno tho

Bruegger's, on Whitney.

i should have specified "other than breuggers" lol

i found out that the health market right on the same block as the bookstore has a pretty sweet deli, got one from there

you doing Yale bizness, kev?

k3vin my wife is from new haven let me know if you have questions! i like new haven tbh

I just moved out of New Haven yesterday! Though only to a town next door.

my girlfriend started her medical residency at yale last week, so i'm visiting a lot while i can. i'm looking into doing one of rotations there later this year too

if you see me out walking around, it's because I'm in New Haven through tomorrow night

went there recently and had a good time. maria's sister graduated from YDS and we hung out all day at the div school and acted like we owned the place. then we ate our weight at frank pepe and went home! the perfect new haven experience.

still can't believe there isn't a record store in new haven. r.i.p. rhymes and cutlers. all those rich kids and nobody to sell them overpriced fleetwood mac albums. sad!
