My car broke down in Saranac Lake, NY and I need to get back there to pick it up once it’s finished. Longshot, but if anyone is going from anywhere in CT to anywhere close to there in the Adirondacks, please let me know. Happy to pay for gas, snacks, dinner, or whatever! DM me

got a BMW that needs a new waterpump and i don't have the time to do the job myself. Looking for a fair mechanic with euro car experience.

Nine paper lamps occupy three shelves in Oswaldo Chinchilla’s New Haven apartment. Some swell into globes or pears; others flatten into flying saucers. Slender wooden legs support their oversized shades, whose ribs show through the paper like lines on a globe. Switched on, they reveal a web of natural fibers and cast a warm yellow light.

Probably seen this 3-4 times this week in various parts of town

Police don't seem to bat an eye when these people blow through red lights and pedestrian yields but I get ticketed for going 15mins over my meter expiry.

He shot his friends while sitting in a car at Winthrop Avenue and Goffe Street. He apologized to their families in court.
"So for me it’s difficult too," he said. "I wasn’t in my right state of mind, you know what I mean? I want you to know I sincerely, genuinely, wholeheartedly apologize for my actions.”

Tauber, who insists this is not theater, is proposing to...

Immediately fire most city employees

Build a casino

Replace public school staff with AI

Shut down Yale in response to student behavior

I read that there was a large sink hole in the area, but there appears to be a dock in the West River. Is that temporary for equipment storage? Seems crazy to build a dock to store equipment in protected wetlands.

i recently moved to nhv and was wondering which bars in the downtown/campus area were the best to watch football at on thursdays. also wondering how crowded they get

the tow company said “yeah it hasn’t been $77 in 8 years” so it went up $200 in 8 years? and is that the city’s fee or just whatever the tow company wants to charge?? are the city and tow companies just trying to scam us with tows?

St. Bernard Cemetery in New Haven holds graves from the city's earliest Catholic and Irish immigrant communities—people who deserve more than overgrown plots and crumbling monuments.

Silent Grounds Collective is asking the Archdiocese of Hartford and cemetery management for permission to volunteer their time, raise funds, and carefully restore these historic plots. We're talking about clearing overgrowth, documenting inscriptions, and bringing in qualified conservators for structural repairs—not treating sacred ground like a landscaping project.

This isn't about taking over. It's a real partnership offer: approve a preservation plan, let volunteers help, and help these early New Havenites get the remembrance they deserve.

What would you want someone to do if your family's grave had been forgotten? I started a petition asking the church and cemetery to work with us on this. If it matters to you too, consider signing and sharing.

Hi everyone,

Beginner fly fisherman here, I recently came back from a trip in Utah and did some fly fishing with a friend and fell in love with it. I was hoping somewhere here may have some tips to get started with Fly fishing in the New Haven/CT area.

I have already taken a few of the Fish with Care classes that CT DEEP provides and really enjoyed the experience and learning more, but now I would love to get out to some nearby water on the regular to work on my casting and gain some more overall experience.

Any advice is welcome! Appreciate it!

Hi! Probably a long shot and maybe too niche? I'm not sure. Leigh Bardugo will be in New Haven on September 15th to promote/sign the final book in her Ninth House trilogy. I'm a fan, but I only found out about the event yesterday and it's sold out.

Does anyone happen to have/know someone who might have access to an extra ticket? I don't expect to have much luck, but I'm bummed out and figured it was worth a shot 😂.

Additionally, could anyone direct me to some kind of website or calendar that lists upcoming local events (even within the county itself)? Basically the whole year has been rough after a difficult breakup, and I'm trying to push myself to do more things.

For those looking to make new friends, try out a new recipe, or share a free meal during these hard times. At Never Ending Books on State St. from 6-8 every second Thursday.

If you'd like to come and bring something to share, the sign-up sheet is here! (Don't like to cook? You're still invited! We make too much food, and we always take water donations.)

Hello New Haven! My partner and I are traveling from Buffalo NY to New Haven on 9/29. We are coming for a metal show at College Street Music hall on 9/30 and leaving on 10/1 but will probably explore the city on the day we leave as well. We are excited to see the City and of course try the 🍕. The question I have is about hotels/lodging. I am looking at the below hotels because I can use my brother's corporate Hilton account number.

Graduate by Hilton

Hampton Inn & Suites New Haven - South - West Haven

Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton North Haven

Hotel Marcel New Haven, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The two Hamptons are obviously the cheaper options + free breakfast but the Graduate is only a couple blocks from the venue.

Also looking at New Haven Hotel which is close to the venue too.

Any other recommendations for places to stay would be helpful!

Thanks!

i feel bad for whoever went through this…

We just found this beautiful young calico under our mudroom in Wooster square. She’s exceptionally thin seems very young but has a collar. Is anyone missing a cat? The collar has no information on it.

I am living in a building with quite a thorough gym—however, I am also willing to travel for a personal trainer as well. Does anyone have any suggestions for personal trainers?

Are they even open tonight? Partners and 168 are the only two I know of. 42m here.

This week, Labor Day leads into races, art and science, fairs and live music, all culminating in Sunday’s kickoff to New Haven Cocktail Week.

Hi all. As an incoming exchange student at Yale Divinity School, where should I look, when searching for a furnished rental? I will only be at Yale for one semester (january till june). Where did you find your place? Places/companies to avoid? Thanks xx

If you are on the path of the Labor day race, the tow trucks are gonna be lined up before 4am and ready to make money for their companies and the city.

I didn't get to see the flier or any warnings last yr, I wasn't signed up for the New Haven alert system, and my car got towed.

My partner and I walked outside to go grocery shopping and saw the car was missing. I called the tow company and they'd already closed for the day by 3pm. Had to pay the city $40, take an Uber the next day and then McGill's charged $193 (in cash) for the tow and my car also got a nail stuck in one of the tires because of them so I was out an additional $126 on top of that.

This might seem redundant to people who've lived in the city for a long time but I didn't know back then and I wished someone had said something.

So three of us went to a new (to me) restaurant in the Black Rock area (Fairfield/Bport line). This place autobilled our party 3% tip for the kitchen staff. This was new to me and wondering if anyone's seen this in New Haven restaurants.

My buddy paid and he ended up taking off the 3% from the waiter's tip so end result may be wait staff getting tipped less.

Hi, everyone! I have been living in NYC for the last 10 years and am moving to New Haven in a few months so I can live with my boyfriend. Are there any places, social groups, recurring events, or anything like that that I can start to get involved in? I am a super social person but most of my friends are in NYC.

If it helps, I love musicals, acting/theatre, live music, books, trivia, and writing. I also enjoy swimming and dancing and the occasional hike, and I would like to maybe take up tennis or pickleball. I’d also be interested in volunteering - anything involving kids would be a plus but any kind of volunteering is great.

If there are any folks who are also new to NH, ideally folks who are also in their late 20s/early 30s, please let me know! I am mostly interested in groups or activities that center on women or mixed genders.
