Quiet can be found with the right budget.

I’m not upset at all, I’m just pointing out the facts. You say New Haven is a boring, unimpressive city, but think Manhattan in 2023 is some enriching cultural experience. The irony is lost on you I suppose.

Obviously not, see the post we are commenting on. If you live in the area, sure. But not as easy as when you’re a tourist

I think OP made a great point

that’s 1 of the many things I listed… nice cherry picking. Obviously rangers games are exciting for people who like hockey, if you don’t that’s fine, but doesn’t make it less exciting for the 20k people in the building, and everyone watching on tv/at bars etc

what was different to you pre 9:11 to now?

You seem very upset for no reason, would you like to talk to a therapist?

OP spent the past week in Worcester so give them a break 😊

You just said you goto rangers games and stay in manhattan. In 2023. That’s two of the most boring things you could do in nyc. Also I said “look UP at the buildings,” implying you’re a hick, which you are. You ever been pre 9/11?

How did it ruin it? Lmao you don’t know me at all.

I don’t go to look at buildings, I literally just told you some of what I do there.

I think the city is very happy to take my money, so I’m not sure why you’re so salty and upset, did someone hurt you today?

You don't even need google, you can just walk towards the largest buildings lol

You can hate on the town its pretty normal but you don't need to go out of your way to apologize for OP lol

You're comparing a city of 100k to a city of 8 million thats widely seen as the cultural capital of America. Mmhmm. Didn't have a lot of fun in college im guessing lol and it's new havens fault...

You post about it further down but the idea you can't wander around new haven is objectively wrong. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of Google can find walkable locations. It's just true.

I disagree, you can absolutely spontaneously stop by and have a nice time for an afternoon or evening. If you're expecting hours of urban wandering you're gonna be disappointed but you could've saved yourself the trouble by just looking at a map.

You’re not sure how I can say that? I’m born and raised there. People like you ruined my city. And now you want to act a hot shot and shit on smaller cities because you go to midtown once a month to do boring shit. You probably goto Manhattan and look up at the buildings.

They said they did see Yale, so it looks like they did find it, I think they were overall just not impressed with the city, which is acceptable, outside of a few things it’s not all that impressive

Thank you, I've been in and out of the city for a decade. It's fun and lively but the people who complain about not having anything to do and move to NYC are typically not interesting people to begin with. Living in the city isnt a substitute for having your own hobbies and interests.

Not hating on the city at all, i love it, rent is criminally overpriced though.

My god you're a dedicated hater

Maybe because you’ve been there you don’t like it? But there’s so much to do and see you there. I’m not sure how you can even say that. I’ve lived in Connecticut all my life and I frequently go to Manhattan for mostly Rangers games but my girlfriend and I always go a couple times a year for a weekend just to hang out, we could always walk around and find cool stuff, there’s tons of awesome events, museums, and activities to do as well. Not to mention the restaurants there are awesome, so I’m not sure why you’re calling me a hick when there’s plenty to do in New York City.

Especially for people who have never visited there’s a whole lot you can do and a few days doesn’t do it justice

They could have learned that from 5 minutes of research as well. What I'm getting at is that it seems like they didn't even do the bare minimum research required to locate the main thing they were apparently looking for, the Yale campus.

It's like they Googled New York City, found themselves in Staten Island, and complained there's nothing to see.

Yes, I understand they were far away, that’s why I’m saying they spontaneously camped in New Haven and it’s just not a great city to go to spontaneously. You can’t just wander around and find cool stuff everywhere

You're free to do whatever you want. It does however make you seem like you have a weird, sad grudge. So, you know, have fun with that.

They said they were in the Berkshires, thats at least an hour away.

Again, college town. Yale has museums that are better than most university's. Other than that most colleges are just nice famous buildings and old architecture. They're the ones who wanted to see Yale.

No one said it was a tourist hotspot, but if you want to stop by, walk around a pleasant campus, and experience a dense, walkable colonial era downtown you could do a lot worse than New Haven.

Born and raised New Yorker here. If you think NYC post 2010 has anything interesting or worthwhile to do or see, chances are you’re a hick. All the cool shit left a long time ago.
