TONY Featured Weekend Getaway: New Haven, CT

Time Out New York raves about the city in a feature travel article: http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/travel/74521/weekend-trips-from-nyc-new-haven-ct. An excerpt:

Watering hole Firehouse 12 (45 Crown St; 203-785-0468, firehouse12.com) marries a deep beer selection with live jazz, while rock-minded imbibers can stake out a spot at Toad’s Place (300 York St; 203-562-5694, toadsplace.com), where Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is playing on Friday, June 19.

We’d expect nothing less than braininess from the host city of the International Festival of Art & Ideas.


Clear your head the next day with some outdoor activity. “There are also some great bike trails along the Farmington Canal and along the shoreline,” says festival executive director Mary Lou Aleskie. “There’s a real mix of nature within this urbane environment.”

You won’t need a car once you get there, Aleskie explains. “One of the things that makes this festival is the walkability of New Haven itself.”
