My parents are coming to visit and want new haven pizza but want to bring their dog everywhere (I know)
Are there any pizza spots that have casual outdoor seating (allows dogs) or do you recommend any parks close by that we can get the pizza to go to and eat outside?
This week new cameras were installed at the Oak Street connector and church street, southbound. They might be red light cameras linked to the traffic signal itself. They face southbound, in the flow of traffic, so only plates going through the light are captured. I think these types of cameras are a money grab, but if they stop people from running all the red lights, then that might be beneficial.
Alternatively, in Albany New York they have a system where when one traffic signal turns red the opposite side automatically turns green, so there's no red light and then a three second pause and then green light. Because there's no pause, you have to slam on your brakes on the yellow otherwise car is coming from the other direction on a green will hit you.
Hello :) I have a bunch of clothes I'm trying to get rid of but I'm not sure where to drop it off, do any of you have any good recommendations for agencies?
This truck hit my friend's car while driving on Sherman and Goffe on 8/14. The driver of the truck exited his vehicle, told my friend he was calling the cops, and then sucker-punched my friend in the back of the head. He then tackled my friend, put him in a chokehold, and continued to assault him for a while until he abruptly stopped. The man then got into his truck, threatened to shoot my friend, and drove away. Police say that the truck is unregistered and somehow they haven't located the truck yet, even though there are flock cameras all over New Haven recording every license plate that drives by.
Please call the New Haven non-emergency line at (203) 946-6316 immediately if you see this truck and report its location. Thank you 🙏
has anyone recently lived in the taft apartments, i’m looking for an apartment for me and my bf. i saw the tarts that have studio lofts which seem kinda nice but i don’t wanna spend bank on a place that has pests. also ive lived in the city before but got so used to the safety central connecticut offers that im a bit hesitant about downtown just bc of safety reasons.
Hi guys,
My wife and I just moved here from the south so we don’t have any real/proper winter clothes. Think like under 80 is getting chilly and 50 is freezing type south.
I was wondering what recommendations y’all have for affordable and quality winter clothes but specially anti-slip boots?
We will be doing a lot of walking/riding public transport here and we want to stay safe during winter.
TIA!
Reshared from a community thread I created:
We saw some brief bright spots: Management cleaned Trash Room 2 on Saturday, within an hour of my email, and the coffee machine is working again.
Why did it happen? Because it’s not a priority until we report it. Scary to think what happens when we don’t.
Then a LIVE COCKROACH surfaced on the second floor, prompting management’s familiar corporate reflex: "we will fumigate, work is being done behind the scenes." Let me be perfectly clear: I am simply resharing what was shared in my community thread. I am making no claims about the insect's origin—whether it walked in on its own, hitchhiked in someone's bag, or otherwise. The issue is how MANAGEMENT and the OWNERS handle the reality on the ground. Cleaning up only when you catch it isn't what we pay for. The OWNERS refuse to change; instead, they double, triple, quadruple, and EVEN quintuple down on a FAILING STRATEGY.
To be clear, I am not blaming the people in the leasing office; they're victims of UNDERINVESTMENT and INEFFECTIVE ORDERS from upper management and ownership.
UNTIL THAT CHANGES, I CANNOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU RENT AT O&W.
As for me, I’ll keep reporting the facts and engaging in constructive discussions to make changes that VALUE RESIDENTS’ CONCERNS and BETTER SERVE MANAGEMENT and the OWNERS’ INTERESTS. C’mon guys, it's not rocket science. Think: Tylenol in 1982, Amica, and the best: “I’m sorry, what can I do to make it right?"

For anyone that has used the yale blood draw stations in North Haven on Divine Street. I know there are several different blood draw stations throughout the building, and I was wondering if any of them are better to go to than others for someone who has difficult veins.
If you require a butterfly needle or have rolling or difficult veins for blood draws What has been your experience there? Would you recommend using a particular location there other than the main one on the first floor of the building?
OK, so I’m sitting here wondering how did we get to this point? I am a medical assistant. I have been doing this for 12 years. I’m making an OK living. Nothing crazy and definitely still need my husband‘s income to live. We have two kids. We have a nice condo. We have food on the table, but it’s paycheck to paycheck. I went to school for this. Paid student loan and everything. You see girls on only fans making millions I think it’s disgusting that this is what the world has come to. When having an honest 9 to 5 job, can’t even pay a few of your bills. Living costs are so astronomical right now that I am literally considering becoming a stripper. I don’t even know if I’d be able to literally do it, but I was reading online how much women can make in a week stripping. This is the type of thing that I never thought I would consider doing. But it seems like everything in life is a dead end except for things that are against my morals or just super easy. Has anyone ever felt this way any women out there that have the same struggles? I’m honestly just at such a loss. I just wanna make enough money to be comfortable and have to stop worrying about money all the time. My anxieties every single day are about money and if the bills are going to be paid on time and if I even have enough money this week to get groceries. It shouldn’t be that way especially in 2026.
This NHPD cruiser has been parked here for probably 2.5 weeks now and has not moved. Anyone know any info? I will say, the front and side windows are overly tinted and you can't even see inside of it. Idk how anyone could drive this and see at night.
It is genuinely infuriating watching these massive property conglomerates and absentee mega-landlords sit on prime real estate while doing absolute zero for the actual community. They jack up commercial and residential spaces, let buildings sit half-empty or poorly maintained, and act like they own the skyline while contributing nothing to the local culture or people actually trying to build something here.
What makes it worse is that there is zero accountability. No real oversight, no pressure from the city that actually sticks, and no one holding their feet to the fire while small businesses and independent operators get priced out of existence. It’s an insulated ecosystem that protects corporate portfolios at the expense of everyone else living and working on the ground level.
Honestly? I hope the whole inflated market implodes. Let the over-leveraged portfolios crash, let the speculative bubbles burst, and let these corporate entities lose everything they squeezed out of this city. We need a complete reset from the top down.
hey yall, new to the area. big fan of new haven style sauce pie, but sometimes i need to get a slice or two of cheese instead of a whole nh style pie. would love to get recs on places where i can get a reliable slice or two for lunch! ive had lots of great pizza, but cant for the life of me find a place that sells by the slice. i’m in east rock, but anywhere in the city is cool with me.

I'm just curious because there are so many of the cameras in New Haven. It seems like a poor use of city funds. I see that the city got some federal funds to grow their network, but once those funds are expended, isn't it like $3,000 per camera per year? That's going to be like 1.5 million per year on these cameras, which is a lot of money! Maybe not compared to the entire budget but certainly still could be kept in tax payers pockets or spent on better things.
Aside from the flagrant privacy violations these cameras represent of course. I'm wondering if there's anyone focused on organized advocacy around the topic.
Recently had this sent to me Showing evidence of a large white supremacist gathering in my town. It is terrifying that people like this still exist in this day in age what can be done to stop events like this from taking place in our towns in the future???
Federal funding cuts are straining nonprofit budgets, and resource navigator roles are often among the first to go, even as more people need help finding essential services.
To help bridge that gap, I built NHV Navigator, a tool that connects New Haven residents with housing, food, legal aid, and other community resources.
Residents can use it directly, while people in community-facing roles can use it as a complement to the work they already do.
NHV Navigator is available through a live hotline (833-997-8535) and a website with chat. The hotline currently supports English and Spanish, and the website supports four additional languages.
If you work with New Haven residents - or are looking for local resources yourself - I’d love for you to try it and share your feedback - www.nhvnavigator.com
Did anyone see something large in the sky over New Haven that kind of looked like a dimly lit jellyfish without tendrils gliding east or northeast about 5-10 minutes ago? Other descriptions are a light arc moving horizontally, possibly amorphous without any sharp lines, possibly not emitting its own light but rather reflecting light. It was rounded on the eastern side, no light showing on the western side. At first I thought it was a hot air balloon but it quickly became clear it definitely wasn’t. Me and 3 other people saw it from Prospect Hill, for several seconds, and then it quickly faded away to nothingness over .5-1 second. We don’t have a video. None of us have ever seen anything like it. Please tell me someone got a video or knows of an experimental project happening in the area.
