An Ivy League Day Trip to CT

CONNECTICUT CALLING ... let's do a day trip to New Haven, CT, where food and culture are Ivy League ...

ABOUT NEW HAVEN: Founded in 1638 at the mouth of the Quinnipiac River by English Puritans, New Haven has since grown to become the “Cultural Capital of Connecticut,” and the second largest city in the state. With Yale University, a handful of theaters and museums, an eclectic mix of dining options located within walking distance of one another, and without a doubt its prime location makes it the most walkable city center between New York City and Boston. Bring your culinary and artistic appetites for a thorough sampling of the wonderful food, history, and culture this coastal city with the small-town vibe has to offer.

GETTING THERE: we will meet at Grand Central to take the 8:02AM Metro-North to New Haven.

AGENDA: Once we arrive in New Haven at 10:20AM, we’ll explore town on foot. Make sure you have comfortable shoes on.

Lots of things to see and do in New Haven.

• Goes without saying we’ll visit Yale
• The claim is disputed, but if you believe New Haven lore—and even the Library of Congress does—the hamburger was invented by New Haven.
• Plus you can't visit New Haven without embroiling yourself in the city’s most significant debate: which restaurant makes the best pizza?

We'll check it out for ourselves.

PLEASE NOTE Day's agenda remains subject to changes. Come with an open mind for adventures and whatever the day might bring.

GETTING AROUND: We'll walk on foot and/or share an Uber to get around town.

DURATION: This is an all day event but you can leave on your own at any time. We won't judge. Much.

RETURN TRAIN FROM NEW HAVEN TO NYC: two trains on the 0:17 and 0:39 of every hour.

WEATHER: This Meetup is rain, snow or shine

LIABILITY WAIVER: come prepared. Participate at your own risks. Hold no one liable. Etc, etc.
