A blog about New Haven
This week, I wanted to do something a little different, and rather than look towards the future, I wanted to reflect on New Haven’s past, and especially, all of the places which have come and gone from the Elm City. But in order to do that, I needed the community’s help. After all, I’ve only … Read more
Happy Snow Day, Everyone Except People With Mean Bosses Or Important Jobs! Welcome to the WORLD OF TOMORROW, where we only use Bitcoins. Here from 2018, we can properly reflect on all of the GREAT and not so great things which happened in 2017. In this article, I’ll present a list of totally random awards … Read more
Do you know what today is, Dear Reader? Of course you do! It’s my Birthday! Which I don’t have to cancel this year because America is dumb. So I’ve decided I’m actually going to enjoy myself this year and celebrate a little, and you know what I really want to celebrate? How much I love … Read more
Any idiot can tell you that Union League is a good restaurant. But once you get there, how do you know what’s really worth it? (I actually have no idea.) Well have no fear, Dear Reader (and my you look nice today!), I am going to share with you my totally subjective list of My … Read more

More awards, more silliness, more totally made up categories about New Haven, based entirely on my own opinion with as … Read more
Update: This article is from 2016 and has been updated with more relevant information here. Good news, everyone! It’s beach season!

If you haven’t heard, New Haven is sort of known for their pizza. And no, I’m not going to call it “a-pizza,” or pronounce it “ah-beets.” I don’t know anybody that does. So anytime some “travel blog” explains how “we” do it, I just shake my head and laugh. But we do know our pizza. … Read more
In case you were wondering, Josh Levinson drinks his coffee “with one Splenda, and a splash of milk.” Yes, a splash. (Ed Note: We were.) Growing up, it was my understanding that drinking coffee was a rite of passage into adulthood; like that first kiss, or a pimple. When I was finally allowed a cup of coffee, … Read more
The clock reads 2 am, which doesn’t surprise you cause the bartender just spent the last 15 minutes slowly herding you and your friends like cattle out onto the streets.
