New Haven Vacations and Tourism

New Haven is a city in Connecticut, and is perhaps best known as the home of Yale University. With a downtown population density of 6,000 people per square kilometer, New Haven has one of the densest downtown areas in the United States. As a result, hundreds of shops, cafes and top-rated restaurants have proliferated and the area has recently become a major regional tourist attraction for shopping and dining. Ethnic restaurants include Ethiopean, Vietnamese, Eritrean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Mexican, Thai, Indian and Malaysian offerings, among many others. According to the Hartford Courant, New Haven has more pedestrian activity than any place between New York City and Boston, and has a burgeoning nightlife scene. The area is also a center for bicycling and hiking, with nearby East Rock Park, West Rock State Park, and Sleeping Giant State Park providing hundreds of miles of hiking trails and summits with expansive views over hundreds of square miles. Bicyclists enjoy cruising along the beautiful shoreline, or along the Farmington Canal Trail, a former canal and railroad that has recently been converted to recreational use.
