Downtown New Haven is a holiday shopper’s dream: plenty of parking, easy walkability and diverse options. This holiday season is the perfect opportunity to support independently owned and operated entrepreneurs on Small Business Saturday (November 27th). Not only will those on your list honor you with the title of “best gift-giver,” you’ll also be supporting a local retailer, which feels pretty great too! Plus you can take the gifts right home with you rather than wait for deliveries. Holidays accomplished. You’re welcome.

New Haven in the News
As you may have guessed, we think New Haven is pretty special. But, hey, we’re not the only ones! People are talking about our city (and we’re listening). We were eating up the coverage on Restaurant Week (sorry, couldn’t resist), but we’re especially proud that Livabilty has listed us as one of the top 100 places to live in 2021. We have no arguments here.

Correction: In our Oct. newsletter we wrote Grove Street Cemetery is the oldest in the US, but this honor actually belongs to Myles Standish Burial Ground in Duxbury, Mass. Grove Street is still very special though. In fact it’s the oldest cemetery in the US designed as a “city of the dead” with named avenues & cross streets.
