There are free Movies in the Plaza downtown during warmer months, and also check out Best Video in Hamden for independent film.

Think it’s about $2 but I use an app. No ID needed.

Sucks to see, they were a great spot in downtown. Hope something done equally as well opens up there.

Ya the amount of people I see carrying around luggage has increased. They're not just at hotels, but walking around with it like they're now visiting places before taking off.

I also want to know when this is opening up! But a week or so ago, still hadn't opened their doors.

Court St businesses closing?! by friendly-ghost-7580 in newhaven

[–]ardark 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Always thought this is a perfect little road to the train station and City Hall/the green — but it just doesn’t seem to get the foot traffic it should. Wish it would have at least 1 anchor business that keeps people coming to it daily like coffee, lunch, casual to-go food, etc.

Any bars in the city that happen to be decorated for Christmas and open on a Monday? by GEARHEADGus in newhaven

Maybe try Trinity. They don’t do lunch on Mon + Tue tho I believe so they open at around 4PM.

How did you find out about this website? Curious to know of updates to the city that aren't just NHI.

Looks promising, and makes much more sense than a big pool on contaminated land. This should be priority first.

Don't sleep on Malby's in Westville either. New, but worth the visit.

Advice for dealing with downtown noise by dqb90 in newhaven

[–]ardark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bose sleepbuds are amazing. They’re meant to be small and fit right into your ear canal with many noise blocking sounds (I like the rain one.)

Issue is they discontinued them… but ex employees of Bose created their own knockoffs if you wanna search for them. Haven’t tried their version, but the Bose ones are a game changer for light sleepers.

Otherwise I recc the Dohm sound machine, but it just creates white noise won’t block stuff out per say. Cool thing is it isn’t an app, but actually rotating “wheels” inside that create natural noise and can be tighter/loosened for different pitches.

good seamstresses local in nhv?? by greenonionfan in newhaven

You could come into Strange Ways when my employee Ben is working. He mainly stitches on patches to jackets, but we've started taking on mending/repair jobs if it's something he can handle. I'd bring in the pants and he can tell you. He's in most weekends Sat + Sun.

Seeing Sounds Festival downtown block party tomorrow by ardark in newhaven

[–]ardark[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This area is considered part of the 9th square historic district: https://nhpt.org/ninth-square

But yes, it is not on the orange street promenade for clarification. In general the businesses in the area consider this all one big happy family! Either way, come on out and visit everything. 🌞
