Things To Do In New Haven
New Haven moves at the pace of discovery. On a compact grid, you can follow your curiosity from galleries to live music to late-night without losing the thread. This is a city that rewards a little wandering and a lot of looking up.
Global culture sits close together. The Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art face each other across Chapel Street, free and world-class. Around the corner, the Shubert brings Broadway history to life, while College Street Music Hall keeps the calendar fresh. It feels effortless to spend a day with art by daylight and a curtain call after dark.
Step outside and change the view. The New Haven Green brings festivals, films, and seasonal moments to the heart of the city.
As the lights come on, the city shifts gears. Cocktails with a point of view, music that spills into the street, and welcoming LGBTQIA+ spots make it easy to stay out. Hands-on experiences, tours, and wellness studios fill the spaces in between, and weekend markets bring makers and growers into the mix.
