Across the street, the equally impressive (also free) Yale Center for British Art (1080 Chapel Street 20 ) holds the largest collection of British art outside Britain, from the dramatic George Stubbs lion-and-horse oil paintings to Francis Bacon’s Surrealist triptychs to the Pop Art of the 1960s.Ī French restaurant in the high Yankee style, Union League Cafe (1032 Chapel Street 20 ) has an inscription above the fireplace marking a 1789 visit by George Washington. The expansion means greater access (and free) to the gallery’s 200,000-piece collection. For leaf-peeping, walk the banks of the West River in the 120-acre Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.-designed Edgewood Park (Edgewood Avenue).Īfter a 14-year renovation, the Yale University Art Gallery (1111 Chapel Street 20 ) will reopen in December. In the quiet Westville neighborhood, Bella’s Café (896 Whalley Avenue 20 ) has an eclectic brunch menu that ranges from Oscar Benedict (poached eggs, petit tenderloin, asparagus and crab meat, with potatoes and béarnaise sauce $16.95) to pecan-crusted catfish in a Creole sauce, with poached eggs and Cheddar cheese-roasted poblano grits ($14.95). Along Crown Street, notice the Walk of Fame-style stars embedded in the sidewalk, the work of the artist Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, designed to celebrate New Haven’s grocers, cigar strippers and ship captains of New Haven’s past. For live jazz or punk rock, Scottish folk or Texas blues, settle in at the newly remodeled Cafe Nine (250 State Street 20 ), beloved by locals and dubbed the “musician’s living room” for its intimate scale. On a two-block stretch best known for thumping multistory clubs, the Cask Republic (179 Crown Street 47 ) is a comparably more studious place devoted to the less-than-quiet contemplation of fine ales, lagers, stouts and porters - some 60 or so on draft alone, including rare and cask-conditioned beers. Order the fresh clam ($22.75 to $38.25), a thin, bubbling, slightly blackened crust, brushed with olive oil, garlic and parsley and loaded with just-shucked little neck clams. On an otherwise residential street, behind a red, green and white awning, Zuppardi’s has wood-paneled walls and families crammed into orange vinyl booths eating Napolitano “apizza” (pronounced “ah-BEETZ”). In the perennial debate over which local joint serves the superior New Haven-style pie, Zuppardi’s Apizza (179 Union Avenue, West Haven 20 ), nearly 80 years old, is too often overlooked. At sunset, stop into the scuba-themed Dive Bar & Restaurant (24 Ocean Avenue, West Haven 20 ) for an $8 cocktail - a margarita, Key lime martini or a spicy mojito - or a flight ($12 to $14) of five pours from the rotating tap of 10 craft beers. Between the two, a paved 1.7-mile promenade keeps the sand from your toes.

Take a walk along Long Island Sound, from Sandy Point Bird Sanctuary (Beach Street, West Haven), where birders gawk at red-billed oystercatchers and green-winged monk parakeets, to Bradley Point Beach (Captain Thomas Boulevard, West Haven), near the site of the British invasion of July 5, 1779. While town and gown have worked to attract brand-name businesses to downtown (among them a new Apple Store and Shake Shack), New Haven remains complex and layered - a city of taco trucks and barbecue shacks as well as high-end clothiers and stylish cocktail lounges. The city’s historic center, which fans out around twin lawns planted with towering elms, maintains an old New England character, with neo-Gothic towers, well-aged dive bars and working-class neighborhoods of faded but elegant Victorian houses. While New Haven’s hard luck reputation lingers, it’s no longer fully deserved.

IT wasn’t long ago that New Haven was the poster child for the troubled college town, a place where the graduates of prep schools rubbed shoulders with the trauma of the mid-’80s and early-’90s crack epidemic.
