New Haven's nickname is
the Elm City, as it historically contained many elm trees. This is
a city that combines New England charm with a robust cosmopolitan
life, alive with world-class architecture, golf clubs, shops and
restaurants with memorable international cuisine. Located on Long
Island Sound between New York and Boston, Greater New Haven fans
out from an historic city center and harbor to scenic beaches and
charming town greens. New Haven is home to Yale University that
not only offers academic colleges but also a wide array of
research organizations, libraries and museums. Approximately
11,250 students attend Yale, so to say this is a New England
college town is an understatement.
Area attractions include
Peabody Museum of Natural History, Shubert Performing Arts Center,
Clinton Park, Criscuolo Park, Quinnipiac River Park, Marsh
Botanical Gardens, Winchester Gun Museum, and Amistad, the Freedom
Schooner. |
