3 Colleges and universities

New Haven is known first and foremost as a center for education and research. Yale University is one of the city's best known features and also one of the region's largest employers, and can be found in the heart of downtown. New Haven is also home to other centers of higher education, including Southern Connecticut State University and Albertus Magnus College. The University of New Haven is located interestingly enough in the neighboring city of West Haven. North of the city in Hamden is the site of Quinnipiac University. New Haven is also served by Gateway Community College , located in the Long Wharf district.

4 Transportation

4.1 Railroad

The city is connected to New York City by both intercity and commuter rail, provided by Amtrak and Metro-North Railroad respectively, and some New Haven residents commute to work in New York City (a trip of close to two hours). The city's main railroad station is New Haven Union Station , which serves Metro-North trains to New York, Shore Line East commuter trains to Old Saybrook, and Amtrak trains to New York, Boston, and Springfield, Massachusetts. An additional station at State Street provides SLE and a few Metro-North passengers easier access to the Central Business District.

4.2 Major Highways

New Haven lays at the intersection of Interstates 95, which provides access to New York and the coastal regions further north, and 91, which leads northward to the interior of New England. Within the city itself there is the Oak Street Connector/Route 34 which intersects just south of the I-95/I-91 interchange and runs northwest as a spur into downtown. The Route 15 Parkway runs just south of the city, through Hamden.

4.3 Airports

6 Culture and Notable Features

6.1 Cuisine

Although credit for creation of the hamburger sandwich is disputed, New Haven boosters accept the claim that it was first served in the United States in 1895 by Louis Lassen, operator of Louis' Lunch, which is still in operation.

Another New Haven culinary tradition is the city's reputation for pizza. Local pizza places of distinction include Sally's Apizza and Pepe's Pizza, both located in the pizza mecca neighborhood of Wooster Square. Historically, New Haven's pizza notoriety stems from it being a long-standing center of Italian American culture.

6.2 Popular Culture

On March 20, 1914 the first international figure skating championship was held here.

New Haven was also the location in 1967 of one of Jim Morrison's infamous arrests while he fronted the rock group The Doors. The resultant near-riotous concert and arrest was commemorated by Morrison in the lyrics to "Peace Frog" which include the missive "...blood in the streets in the town of New Haven..."

New Haven currently serves as the home city of the annual International Festival of Arts and Ideas .

New Haven is also home to the famous concert and dance hall Toad's Place which brings in many big name acts to the city.
