A blog about New Haven
Connecticut. When you say the word, the rest of America sneers. Those people? With their boats and their Vineyard Vines and their white picket fences? Psht. There’s no such thing as Connecticut pride. People here are like, “Well I guess this is fine.” The trip to any comment section of any Connecticut publication is a … Read more
As the quarantine almost enter its fifth month, I felt really down and cabin fever was starting to get to me. So I decided to dust off my inflatable kayak and headed off to East Rock park. After my afternoon in the sun, paddling on the glistening water among cranes, turtles, and the occasional fisher-persons, … Read more
Oh, hey. Yes, I know. It’s been awhile. I’ve been slacking. We’ve all been slacking. I hope. Three months ago I was all, “This will be an unparalleled moment of creativity and output for me!” Now I realize most of my output is in World of Warcraft. And that’s okay. As my therapist says, self-acceptance … Read more
Normally, this blog is about where are cool places to be bad at dating or where to eat pizza because you’re bad at dating (in New Haven). However, you’ve (hopefully) been quarantined for at least a month. Tiger King is nowhere to help you now, and you can only re-watch The Office so many times. … Read more

We sit in our homes, peering out at a terrifying new world. Afraid of each other. Afraid for ourselves. Nary a single Yalie wandering into traffic (as they love … Read more
Hey New Havenites,
I know everything about COVID-19 has been scary. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world right now and I know you all have questions.
Unfortunately, I don’t have THOSE answers, but I do have answers to another question I’ve been hearing a lot lately:
Lucy Gellman (Arts Paper) and Thomas Breen (New Haven Independent) join us to talk about journalism in New Haven, how arts are represented in the media, as well as who our favorite (and least favorite) candidates are. Available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or here: https://share.transistor.fm/s/d2b97659
So you’ve found someone to go on a date with you. First, pat yourself on the back, because that’s impressive. You’ve scoured dating apps, begged your friends, whatever. Now you’re going to need to meet somewhere, because you don’t know, this person could be a serial killer. And with the state of queer dating in … Read more
If you’ve ever argued with me on reddit (and you probably have), you know I’m a huge proponent of public transportation. I ride my bicycle to work. I take the bus when it rains. I’m a huge fan of trains and Connecticut’s push for CTrail. I’ve never had a compelling reason to take the new(-ish) … Read more
I am writing this article in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, flying away from New Haven. I used to feel excited every time I left town. After all, when you ask people why they love New Haven, they often yell at you for liking the wrong pizza… But close after that, they say they … Read more
