New Haven's restaurant scene is the city's most redeeming factor. Plenty of ethnic restaurants, unique local eateries, and high dining options make a weekend out in the town delicious. New Haven also on the of oldest vegetarian restaurants in the region, Claire's, which generally satisfies most non-meat eaters. The city's pizza is also commonly ranked top 3 in the nation. Barcelona, Bar Pizza, and Frank & Pepe's are particular standouts.

New Haven's music scene is decent for such a small city. Many local bars and clubs offer opportunities to meet people while out. New Haven is by no means a college town, and Yale by no means a sports school, but you will occasionally see locals supporting the school at big annual events such as the Harvard vs. Yale football game. There are many local volunteer opportunities in the fields of education, public health, and more.
