    What a beautiful 19th century home--the architectural detail inside and out is rare and…read morefascinating. I attended a benefit brunch on the first floor, so cannot speak about the rest of the home, but I was enchanted the entire two hours I was there by the intricate design in the molding as well as the decor. The nice young owners are personable.

    Chetstone is a Gothic Victorian mansion built on the highest ridge of Fairhaven Heights in the mid…read more19th century. After an almost 2 decades long effort to restore this historic home, it is now in fantastic condition. My family rented this beauty for a 4 day stay in New Haven on Air BnB. The Chetstone is also currently listed on the CT Film Commission, and is used for photography and videography, as well as a workshop and performance space. As a bed and breakfast, it would be hard to imagine a more amazing home to stay in. The Chetstone has 4 stories: the kitchen and living rooms on the first floor are warm (ambient heat in the kitchen and bathroom floors is awesome) and cozy. Three of the four bedrooms on the second floor come with working sinks! I felt like I was sleeping in a restored, totally livable adjunct to the Mark Twain house (didn't hurt that I had just recently watched Ken Burns' fantastic documentary on Twain.) The magic comes in from all angles with ancient glass refracting the sunlight in beautiful directions. The third floor is unfinished with whimsical rabbit art dating to 1919 exposed on the walls. The fourth floor is a beautiful lookout over Fairhaven Heights. This neighborhood used to be called "Dragon" because the harbor seals that hung out at the mouth of the Quinnipiac River resembled dragons: on a clear day, you can almost still seem them from the fourth floor. Thank you to all involved in the restoration of this Connecticut architectural gem!

Due to the rain, we stayed in the main part of the boat and did not go up the ladder, but we stayed warm and dry. We enjoyed hearing all of the stories about the little islands. It is a great choice for family gatherings, work groups looking for a social activity etc. It is about an hour long and for those who are a bit reticent about going on a boat - land can be seen at all times! Make sure to leave extra time for parking, because on a nice day, parking can be a bit of a walk. (Can park behind the church for a donation, but that will take an extra 5ish minutes to walk...). The captain and crew are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Great value!

    We booked the Sea Mist for our rehearsal dinner and it was a 10/10 experience. Our friends and…read morefamily really enjoyed it. They have a cash bar on the bThey do not have food on the boat but they work with a few great catering companies/restaurants that have reasonable prices and you can pick up your food and bring it or some will deliver it right to the boat for you. The 2 hour cruise will take you around the Thimbles for beautiful views and if you time it right you will catch an amazing sunset. Our guests were raving about it.

    It is hard to believe that almost 10 years ago in June of 2012 I witnessed Governor Malloy…read morecommemorate the opening of the magnificent new Pearl Harbor bridge. Before that it was referred to as the Q Bridge. It was absolutely exhilarating to be able to walk across the bridge and see the beautiful workmanship that went into it. There was a large crowd, music playing, food, vendors, and even a sailboat on the bridge for a photo opportunity. It was a spectacular time as I walked from New Haven to East Haven and back to New Haven.It was truly one of those experiences that you will never forget. The only thing that was missing that day was the ability to see the bridge lit up in a variety of colors. I look forward to driving over the bridge at night especially on holidays. I still think of that very special day every time I cross the bridge in a car.

    The Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge carries I-95 over the Quinnipiac River and was completed between…read more2005 and 2015. It has five lanes in each direction as one might expect for such a busy highway. It replaces the original bridge going back to 1958. It's pretty considering the boring girder bridge base but also incorporates some cable-stayed elements. Other completely cable-stayed are more attractive. But it gets you across the river so I'm pleased. [Review 18672 overall - 87 in Connecticut - 2194 of 2022.]
