About New Haven
New Haven punches way above its weight thanks to Yale University. The food scene is legendary, from its famous pizza (it's called apizza here) to innovative restaurants that rival major cities. The cost of living is dramatically lower than Fairfield County or New York, and the arts and culture scene is vibrant. East Rock and Westville offer genuine neighborhood charm. The Metro-North or Amtrak will get you to New York, though it's a longer commute than the Gold Coast towns.
