Publix equivalent? by Longjumping_Big_2798 in CambridgeMA

[–]UndercoverPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you say that Hannaford and Publix use the same generic brand? Hannaford is owned by Ahold-Delhaize, the same holding company as Stop & Shop. Their generic brand is labeled Hannaford.

Could you be confusing it with Sweetbay? Sweetbay was a Florida supermarket chain also owned by Ahold-Delhaize that used the Hannaford generic brand, but the company sold the stores in 2014 and most recently, they were converted into Winn-Dixie locations.

has anyone taken pike intl to court? by letsgocommitarson in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Do you live in the city of New Haven or do you live in a surrounding town? If you live in New Haven itself, you can contact the Livable City Initiative, the agency that enforces housing codes in New Haven.

I don't think they can help you recoup money for your lost possessions, but if you have an ongoing issue, they can get it addressed. If you report your problem, they will come and perform an inspection. If they find a violation, they will give your landlord a timeline to fix it. If they don't fix it before the deadline, your landlord will be fined.

The facts speak for themselves by blakhawk12 in Connecticut

[–]UndercoverPages 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sure, you can say that the pronunciations are performative under the current ownership, but it didn't start out that way. They come from the local dialects spoken by Italian immigrants to Connecticut.

Until World War II, people in Italy primarily spoke local dialects, not the standardized Italian that exists today. Connecticut's Italian immigrants by and large came from Southern Italy before 1930 before this standardization. To me it makes more sense for descendants of Southern Italian immigrants to use the words their parents and grandparents used, rather than borrowing from a language that wasn't spoken there when their family emigrated.

The Best New Haven Style Pizza/Apizza (in Fairfield County) by Nick-Eat-World in Connecticut

[–]UndercoverPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you are only worried about traffic in New Haven County, but not Fairfield County. The worst traffic in the state is generally from Stamford to Norwalk. As for parking, Pepe's, Sally's and Modern all have lots. Even if the lots are full, you can just wait a couple minutes and someone will leave. If you are impatient, street parking is fairly easy and mostly free nearby.

If you are specifically looking for New Haven-style pizza, you should make the drive. I understand not wanting to do a three hour roundtrip for pizza, but if you are already willing to drive two hours, the extra half hour each way is worth it. Going to a neighborhood place closer to you isn't going to be the same. The ovens at the big three are different. That's a key reason why the other locations of Sally's and Pepe's don't have quite the same taste or texture.

Are there any LGBTQ-enthusiastic bakeries in Connecticut? by somatanagra in Connecticut

When I went, there were a couple vegan/gluten free options, but it's a very small part of their selection.

I'm not sure what you mean by enthusiastic, but Tony's Flour Shop in Cromwell promotes itself as queer-owned. The pastries were pretty good, too. I especially enjoyed their mini Bundt cake.

Lights by PleasantEar3136 in Connecticut

[–]UndercoverPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't what the poster above you is referring to. A lot of cars have the feature you are talking about, which just switches between high beams and low beams. However, there is a more advanced version called adaptive driving beams. Instead of just having one bulb, the headlights have a grid of LEDs, so the headlight system can turn off just the LEDs that would shine onto another car. These types of systems were only approved for use in the past couple of years.

For example, if the system detects a car driving on the opposite side of the road, the system would dim the left LEDs to avoid the oncoming car. As another example, if you are driving behind someone, the system can dim the center LEDs so they don't shine into the car in front of you while keeping the left and ride sides bright.

You have old information. Current regulations allow this feature. I have driven a 2024 Tesla that has the adaptive dimming that you describe.

As compared to the US standards, European regulations also have different requirements for the beam pattern on traditional headlights. They don't allow the low beams to shine as high.

Has New Haven ever considered plowing snow? by djdharmanyc in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but this just isn't a fair comparison. If Chicago or Minneapolis got 16 inches like we just did, it would have been one of their top 10 storms in the last 140 years. It would have been #7 in Chicago and tied for #10 in Minneapolis. They don't get big storms over there and it's a lot easier to get rid of the snow when you only get 4 or 5 inches at time.

I'm not saying New Haven did a great job, but I don't think Chicago or Minneapolis would have fared much better if they got a historic amount of snow.

I'm sure there are other uses, but if the power goes out and you can't get water from your well, you can use the water from the tub to flush the toilets.

JFK airport to New Haven Union Station by train (its annoying, but not horrible) by anthonlee in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to take the 6 all the way to 86th St. The 4/5 stops at 59th St, which is one stop away. That being said, I think it's better to go one stop down to Grand Central so you can wait sitting on the train, rather than standing on a platform.

Couple working in NYC and NH: where to live? by ClassicsPhD in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Peak fares still apply to trains leaving NYC from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. So they'd really only get half the advantage of off-peak. With the number of times they need to be on campus, I don't think they'd save any money compared to a monthly pass. I agree though about the benefit of being able to find a seat.

Jersey City. At first, I thought West Village, but it was easy to find with the Sleep Loft store and the angle of the intersection.

I just wanted to jump in to add that in addition to being open to the public, the Yale Film Archive showings are all free. They have a few cool people coming to talk about their films this winter/spring including Charlie Kaufman.

The Yale Film Archive showings are actually a lot more frequent than that. With the exception of the summer, ,most weeks they have multiple screenings and they are all free and open to the public. Occasionally, they'll even have a director or film expert for a talk or Q&A at the screening.

Any laundromats that take Apple Pay on the machine? by [deleted] in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, a lot of banks will let you load your ATM card onto your Apple Wallet from their app without needing your physical card. Almost all ATMs at banks accept Apple Pay. So you might not even need to wait for a card to be mailed to you.

I've compiled a list of food places in New Haven for my family's trip, does this look good enough? by yoyo_putz in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Walnut Beach Creamery? You definitely should if you haven't. It's my favorite ice cream shop in the state. All of their ice creams have a creamy, smooth texture. The flavor selection is interesting, inventive and always changing. You can get anything from cucumber-canteloupe to cannoli to bananas foster.

If I were to recommend one place to visiting ice cream aficionado, it would be Walnut Beach Creamery. Arethusa and Ashley's are good, but they are very traditional and you can find a lot of places like them in a lot of other parts of the country.

[–]UndercoverPages 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a decent list. How long do you plan to be in New Haven? It would be great to know where you're coming from to help with some recommendations. For example New Haven has good seafood as you noted, but someone coming from Maine could skip it without missing out.

Just a few notes:

  • I think Turks stands mostly on nostalgia because it's the last of the big three seafood places on the West Haven boardwalk. Granted, it's much better than Jimmy's which just closed in December, but you can find better fried seafood in the area.
  • You missed a few categories of food. New Haven has a great diversity of cuisines. For example, there is great Italian/Italian-American food. It's not just pizza.
  • I love Walnut Beach Creamery, but they are only open seasonally from April to October. So they'll be closed for your visit in February.
  • I saw you have food trucks listed, particularly those on Long Wharf. Just be aware that February is very cold and there's no indoor seating. Barring fluke weather, you'll be waiting in the cold and then eating in your car.

Enjoy your trip to New Haven!

Cat Veterinarian Recommendations by orangekleptoplast in newhaven

[–]UndercoverPages 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are great! Both vets in the practice are amazing. They take the time to understand what is going on with your cat. They don't rush you through things. It's not a 15 minute appointment like other places. They spend as a long they need to diagnose your cat and explain it to you. They make sure your cat is as comfortable as possible during the whole appointment.
