Thanks for the guide James! I'll be passing through there when going to Boston from New York City, and I guess I'm stopping there for a few hours to explore New Haven, Connecticut.
I'll be travelling from Belgium to the US in September. What a coincidence that I'll be staying at the same hotel! Planning to do NYC, New Haven, Providence, Boston, Philly, Baltimore, DC. Watched your video on Providence too and picked up a couple of things from there too so thank you!
Great exploration of the neighbourhood James! To bad about the down pour. You can never predict what the weather will do - that’s Mother Nature! Amazing video as usual!
Great video! I'm from Connecticut and love New Haven. There's a lot to see and a lot of different cuisines from all over the world for a smaller city.. Plus we do have the best pizza here.. BAR also has good pizza...Hope you come back soon)
as a new havener, i would like to argue that sally’s pizza is the best in the city. pepe’s changed ownership and they’re just not good anymore. if i were to rank the big three it would have to go: sally’s modern pepe’s
You definitely missed out on some of the best tacos in the world by not going to the trucks. When you were at long wharf?. I was born and raised here. The Long Wharf taco trucks are known by every person who eats tacos as a not so well kept secret now. They have been parking and selling tacos for over 25 years. I remember seeing the trucks there when I was very young..like the late 80s early 90s
Darn, I wish I knew that! It would've been perfect to enjoy some tacos along the wharf. I can't remember the exact time, but it was maybe an hour or so before sundown. Next time I'm in New Haven, I'll keep that in mind.
I've been there twice and never encountered the creepy bridge. Next time I go I want to walk that creepy bridge! Great video James, very well made and dramatic. Like a short story full of urban adventure.
@@Jamesnu BTW, that bird was an American Oystercatcher. I watch them nest every year at Nickerson Beach, a protected sanctuary for those birds. We have a lot of them here on Staten Island too.
Thank you! Absolutely! However, I just wanted to make the most of my time so I just dealt with the extra hassle of baggage instead of making an extra trip.
Hey James, thanks for visiting Elm City. I truly appreciate the love you giving us. So many people say a lot bad things about my city but this video was very positive and the world needs to know all the good things about New Haven. Please come again you are always welcome.
I didn't get to see the SHU game, but I am finally going this Saturday to see Yale play Columbia! Also, besides in the city, there are the attractions outside the city as well. One of them in my opinion is Connecticut's best state park, Sleeping Giant State Park.@@Jamesnu
One thing you didn't see, because it was too far to walk and you probably didn't have time: The Peabody Museum of Natural History on Whitney Avenue. It has that famous huge painted dinosaur mural on the wall - worth the admission price by itself. If you ever get back there, do check it out; it's worth it. Very short bus ride from downtown.
@@Jamesnu When I was a kid, every few months my dad would take me there on a Sunday afternoon. I never got tired of it. I don't think he did, either. I remember the diorama with the South Sea Islander twirling his sling shot, the Inca child mummy, the huge pre-historic turtle skeleton, the gems on the third floor, in short, a classic, dead rich white guys' turn-of-the 19th Century museum. Loved it!
@@MrRezillo It's nice to have those kinds of memories connected to a place like that. I'm really looking forward to the next time I'm in New Haven to check it out.
You are very lucky to make it through New Haven CT, considering that this is one of the most dangerous cities in CT. Very high crime rate in that town.
I was in new haven Connecticut last weekend, my bf grew up there we went to visit his family we are in pennsylvania, nice drive from pa to Connecticut 84 east and west, the buildings there are beautiful and we like to explore the green and also the ocean ❤️
i really enjoyed the more private- ish parts where you talked like into the camera in the hotelroom. In this way the storm was a plus. When`s dem appartement tour video poppin? :)
high quality content, variety of themes, personal stuff, inspiring, exploring, everything. your channel is very much that. Why clean first? Serve cleaning your appartment! :)
@@borispeper6981 That makes me happy to hear! Thank you! Yeah, I'll definitely do an apartment tour soon. It's also the fact that I've filmed a lot of other videos and I want to edit and post them first.
Great video. That creepy bridge was built over the railroad tracks to reconnect downtown with the waterfront. Definitely not the most welcoming bridge, and it lands you at I-95 so, as you said, there's still the task of getting to the actual waterfront. Perhaps they should consider a big dig like they did in Boston making 95 a tunnel along the wharf. 🤷
Thank you! Yeah, that would be an interesting project. I didn't mind the trek that much. After all, it was my first time exploring the city so everything was new.
James, I am officially addicted to Haven Hot Chicken after your review. I am from the area but I never got a chance to try it. After your review, it became a mission. I became a fan after the first sandwich. Thanks for this and all your great reviews!
A "nice" city? That's a good one. Compared to what, Mogadishu? Other than Wooster St. "apizza", and "Yale"(well, in the olden days), there's not much to recommend.
After watching this, I know more about what this guy ate, from the yogurt to the pizza, than New Haven itself. Also I suspect he can't read a map, cause he couldn't find the marina, which is accessible from his hotel.
@@Jamesnu this is true. It’s downtown too esp in 2021 things aren’t the greatest in the city right now . We just had a woman commit suicide by jumping in front of a city bus sadly. But there are very beautiful parts of the city no doubt. Just be vigilant
A nice city, huh? apparently you don’t know about New Haven. Try going into Newhallville, The Hill section, Fair Haven, Brookside, West Hills, Kensington Square and see if it’s a “ Nice City”.
Just 3 years ago ( pre- defund police liberal policies emboldening criminals to feel they rule), we went to New Haven and felt reasonably safe. Fast forward to now, we didn't feel safe practically anywhere but the pizza areas, and crossing the city streets from the train exit to the green seemed like a murder would take place any second. The CVS on the corner seemed to be headquarters for drug deals and the homeless to get their showers. I've never smelled more pot than at a Grateful Dead show. Once we saw what was going in and out of that CVS, we turned back and got the hell out. I guess the whole Green area is now off limits. Nothing is worth getting shot over. One day, these prosecutors who don't prosecute, may realize what they've done to American cities, but for now, most are off limits to people who choose to stay alive. When somebody has a travel video ( this video) that says " if I may it back alive", that tells all

I have never been to New Haven't, but from what I have heard and read, it is a pretty disgusting city. My sister has been to New Haven, and she told me that if Yale University was not in New Haven, there would not be one reason to visit there. Yale University is the only thing to do in this ghetto town.
My home town! Don't know if I'll ever get back there now. Watching this is bittersweet. So much has changed - but it's still Elm City.
I certainly enjoyed exploring your home town! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the guide James! I'll be passing through there when going to Boston from New York City, and I guess I'm stopping there for a few hours to explore New Haven, Connecticut.
Thanks for watching! New Haven definitely has some nice sites to offer and I hope you enjoy it!
I'll be travelling from Belgium to the US in September. What a coincidence that I'll be staying at the same hotel!
Planning to do NYC, New Haven, Providence, Boston, Philly, Baltimore, DC.
Watched your video on Providence too and picked up a couple of things from there too so thank you!
Thanks for watching! That sounds like a great trip and those are some great cities. I hope you enjoy them!
POV: You got into Yale and then watching this video
Thanks for watching!
Damnn congrats
Lmao
Nice video. Set pizza is the best in the city. A nice city.Thank you for the beautiful video from Chicago, Illinois.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, New Haven is an amazing spot for pizza!
Set pizza isn't even in the top 50 pizza spots in New Haven
Great exploration of the neighbourhood James! To bad about the down pour. You can never predict what the weather will do - that’s Mother Nature! Amazing video as usual!
Thanks so much! At least with the rain it happened at the very end of my day rather than when I was out exploring. So it wasn't that bad.
Hey, you're not supposed to say "Mother Nature" any more. What are you, a sexist male oppressor? LOL
@@MrRezillo Haha! I mean "nature."
@@Jamesnu Glad you know I was just pulling your chain. Some people wouldn't.
@rezillo I should have said “plant earth”. By the way, you also used the word male lol.
Great video! I'm from Connecticut and love New Haven. There's a lot to see and a lot of different cuisines from all over the world for a smaller city.. Plus we do have the best pizza here.. BAR also has good pizza...Hope you come back soon)
Thank you! Yeah, I loved my time in New Haven. Amazing food. Thanks for the recommendation. I just looked it up, it seems like a great place!
New haven is definitely one of the better cities in America. Above average food city too compared to other American cities
Nice video, I traveled in CT and it is funny for a Californian to see that Pizza is the very main staple in that State, more than NJ or NYC.
Thank you! Yeah, I never really equated pizza that much to Connecticut until I moved to NYC.
I can’t believe you went to Connecticut and didn’t even get a Connecticut lobster roll! I drive 5 hours to get them there, you really missed out🙁
Ugh! Well, I at least really enjoyed the food I did have, but I'll definitely have to have a lobster roll for my next visit.
as a new havener, i would like to argue that sally’s pizza is the best in the city. pepe’s changed ownership and they’re just not good anymore. if i were to rank the big three it would have to go:
sally’s
modern
pepe’s
I got to enjoy Sally's on my second day in New Haven. It was indeed fantastic! I really want to try Modern Apizza the next time I'm in the city.
Definitely Sally's Apizza. My favorite.
I live here and he made the city look new
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear!

Thanks for watching!
Thank you James.
Thanks for watching!
If you ever get to Jersey. Papa’s and De’Lorenzo’s in Robbinsville a must. Right up there with John’s and Sally’s.
I'll keep them in mind. I've got to get to Jersey more often. Thank you for the suggestions.
I like to call this place a mini New York!
New Haven is a great city for sure!
I've been there twice and never encountered the creepy bridge. Next time I go I want to walk that creepy bridge! Great video James, very well made and dramatic. Like a short story full of urban adventure.

I'm an Elm city Boy! But bring your gun here if you wanna go beyond the places you don't know etc,.
@@Latinoallover625 Always being aware of one's surroundings is important, no matter where one is.
What camera do you use to film, if you don't mind?
I use the Canon M50 for my videos. It gets the job done.
This winter, do you prefer that I go to a Yale hockey game, or a basketball game?
Either sport should be enjoyable to watch! Personally, I enjoy basketball more.
@@Jamesnu I was gonna go to the hockey game against Harvard, but it was sold out because the Governor was there!
@@gamingwithscottie1478 Bummer! That's unfortunate. I hope you get another chance to see a game.
@@gamingwithscottie1478 Nice!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

The bird is an American oystercatcher
Thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it!
Just watch for some magical fairies who use the powers of all five elements to fight monsters in the abandoned warehouse district. 😉
Thanks for watching!
Did you ever find out what that bird was?
I did! It was an American Oystercatcher. It was pretty neat looking!
I live there and all places you went I been
Nice! Well, I really enjoyed my time in New Haven!
Great vlog it depends entirely where in New Haven it has its good parts and bad parts.
Thank you! Yeah, it's a nice city, but not a perfect one. I was probably in the good parts.
Do they allow fishing in any New Haven parks? If so, I am trying it!
I think I saw some people fishing.
@@Jamesnu Got it.
Good video... you are honest ! Honest is AT A PREMIUM THESE DAYS!!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
I love it...can you show Michael Bolton's house?
Thank you! I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm in New Haven.
What hotel did you stay at? Thanks.
I stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham. It was decent!
You could take the bus from the green drop you off on the front of the hotel . It cost 1.75 runs every 20 min Cttransit
Thanks for the tip!
You are very lucky to make it through New Haven CT, considering that this is one of the most dangerous cities in CT. Very high crime rate in that town.
I wasn't going to let that stop me from enjoying a fine city.
I hear the locals call it gun wavin’ New Haven

Thank you! I look forward to visiting again!
Seems Like, traveling myself....very cool
Thank you!

I'm from Stamford.
@@podsmpsg1 Nice place! I like Stamford!
@@Jamesnu I live in New Haven now. Stamford is nice, but expensive.
@@podsmpsg1 I can see that, but at least New Haven is really nice.
my aunt is living there and I wanted to know how this city was
The parts of New Haven I went to I really enjoyed, but there's still a lot of the city I didn't see.
Gonna visit next weekend
Nice! I hope you have a great time!
I live near this city. More closer to Bridgeport, but I go here a lot. Most Americans know it for Yale University.
Indeed! But New Haven has a lot more than just Yale. I hope more people visit.
@@Jamesnu I know! It's a very unique and historic metropolis. People should visit.
@@gamingwithscottie1478 Definitely!
Is this place in the State Of Mayflower?
It sure is!

Are restaurants specialized in donuts better than chains like Dunkin Donuts??

Donut crazy is downtown/near Yale and they are apparently pretty good!!
@@Nicholas-x5p6q Yeah, it's pretty decent!
Yes! But bring your 🔫gun with lots of bullets

Hi there! Thanks for watching!
I was there last year, it was pretty boring.
@-123sos🐡 - It was but mostly due to the pandemic. But still, pretty boring IMO.
Just don’t go anywhere past downtown or you may get shot

@@Jamesnu this is true. It’s downtown too esp in 2021 things aren’t the greatest in the city right now . We just had a woman commit suicide by jumping in front of a city bus sadly. But there are very beautiful parts of the city no doubt. Just be vigilant
