I have lived in New London on and off for many years. I am originally from Brooklyn, NY. However, New London has always been a second home to me. I love it. I lived in the post hill district of New London, and I’ve never had an issue. Thank you for highlighting our little city ♥️♥️
Hello. I find it fair compared to living anywhere in NYC of course. With the inflating housing market, I’m in no rush to to buy with these rates @7%+, but you could find a nice 2 bedroom on a nice block for under $1500
Greetings from Houston, TX! Your voiceover is fantastic. I smiled through the entire video. Would love to have you as my guide for a day or even half a day! I will have to visit ASAP. Thanks!
New London is a great town. I always stop at Fred's Shanty on Pequot Avenue for a hotdog and a burger on my way back from Block Island. Great little seasonal spot on the water. Been around since 1972!
I live south of n. London ... From Pennsylvania. .....I stumbled upon it 1 summer when I was heading to Boston! When I finally got to new London... I was hooked! I'm a city girl .....and used to b into BIG cities......but now I'm more into little...quiet...laid back town's! It's truly awesome..... When I need to get away from busy life .....( Work.....the daily duties) I come to new London..... I even stop @ the diner on state street .. the service & food is super terrific! And sometimes I just sit in the courtyard and enjoy the view; and then just listen to the trains coming in & out of the town! It's really cool.....but I also love the ride up ... Beautiful views of NYS .. Connecticut....! It's awesome!
Great tour, thanks!! also enjoyed the ferry video. I'm planning on visiting New London regularly over the next couple of years and I'm trying to find a locally owned hotel/motel/cottage that rents by the week. As you said it would be fun to take the train in, that's just what I'll be doing! I'm looking forward to your videos, bc we'll have lots of exploring to do!
I lived in New London for about a year back in the 70's. Back then Captains Walk was the place to be with lots of shops, pubs and places to hang out and enjoy the day. I didn't see that here; does it no longer exist? All I saw was you driving around in a car.
The Captains Walk pedestrian mall was dug up and turned into State Street in the early 90s. You can see where it used to be at the 4:40 mark, if you continued up that street that's where Captain's Walk used to be.
Great video. Thank you. There is one of US Coast Guard stations in this City with their office on Chelsey Street . 8n your next video , you can show boats and ships in coastl zones for fulfillment of reserch and rescue mussions of Coast Guards
Thats the night owl train and it starts in Maine and ends in Miami. At the train station is a major bus stop that takes you to all the major places. Thers actually a rooming house right next to Ocean beach where anybody can live on the beach without being rich..i left for 20 years and came back home to find almost all the stuff i left where as everything that used to be interesting8n the town i live in now is long gone nothing but a highway with all,... i mean all frachises . The greenery has great food too great place to stop for coffee but if you really like coffe go to Muddy Waters on Bank rite around the corner from the train. Jazz classics every Life magazine ever printed couches to lounge on fireplace view of the river. Coffees from all over the world. Go in in the morning and between on site bakery great cinnimon rolls extremely good coffe life mag atmosphere im not finished until 1 in the afternoon. Go straight to the back after you get what you want at the counter always somebody to talk to.Busses around the corner take you to Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Ocean Beach, Norwich historic town, Groton is great too. Historic Forts, Nuclear Submarine, Submarine Base known worldwide.Beaches are beuatiful go all the way out to Cresant Beach on the bus. Tiny Fishing towns Old Lyme East Lyme. Clinton, Westport. Ocean Beach has parks, pools, rides not like in the 70s but still there, theres a bar over the arcade many resterants. New London has more in that tiny area than in all of florida that ive seen in over 20 years. Im very homesick if my Dr hadnt retired I would be right back there
If you notice New London and Norwich have signs with all major languages. ALSO NO FRANCHISES they are only allowed on Coleman St outside the town. Downtown is very vital when all other toens are ghost downs downtown. Although Ive never been inside the Sub Cafe has been there all my life. 70 yrs. So homesick. You should go back to New London there are signs describing the history of the many historic buildings all around town . If you walk around you can guide yourself through and describe lots of real history unlike the so called historic town i live in now its all lies. Check out NL on a walking tour the signs will keep you informed and you will have lots of real events to talk about

Yea hope to come back soon and do a proper tour. I was only there waiting for the ferry to block island 😊

Surprised my Galant wasn’t flying past in the background mad fast 😂
Yes
For anyone wondering about the church steeple collapse; it's shown briefly at 0:13.
My favorite Connecticut town. I just took a drive there sadly, to see the old church that collapsed
Sorry to hear.. so much history there

Thank you so much for sharing that info! I appreciate the nostalgia and recommendations
Correction, New London, CT, is a city. It is located in New London County in southeastern Connecticut. Definitely not a town but a well-defined city.
My uncle is Brazilian and he lives there since 2018, it was his dream to live in US since of his childhood and this is also my dream.
Can’t forget about the U.S. Coast Guard Academy which is on the north end of New London.
This is where my dad used to work in the coast gaurd 😭😭😭
Have lunch @ Ocean Pizza for fish and chips, or try Scott’s Lobster Dock.
Thank you for the recommendations!
Camera motion is way too fast and cuts are erratic. Good content though.
Thank you for hanging with me and for the feedback 😊
realtor alert...developer?
I need some vacation
Yeah, try living there or walking around at night. 😅 Bet it would be a different opinion. Js
Beware of falling churches!
