New Haven, Connecticut is a small city with a world-class way of living. It has some of the world's great museums and attractions, terrific cuisine, and a strong community spirit. The histories of Yale University and the city of New Haven have been intertwined for three hundred years, but although Yale is at the center of New Haven, but it is not all that the city has to offer.

The city is over 350 years old—it was founded in 1638 by English Puritans. Through the years, this beautiful spot on the Long Island Sound became an important commercial center between New York and Boston. It is now home to about 125,000 people, with another 500,000 in the surrounding area.

Below is a small list of some of the cultural, sports, and other attractions of the city, as well as a few links on how to get settled and get around.
