It’s not really like new haven imho at all.

It’s really a Renaissance city from the northeast city roots. Incredibly safe on the East side near brown and downtown.

It’s the culinary capital of New England. Much to do with the influences of Johnson and wales downtown and the multicultural roots of the state as an immigrant destination following manufacturing opportunities.

There is an incredibly vibrant arts scene. RISD among other factors. Including tax incentives and designated artistic zones.

Look up waterfire as an example of cutting edge city wide events.

The expansion of the innovation zone with brown medical school and associated bio tech incubators built in the old jewelry district by the river.

It’s got enough grime to be real and the brown area around the East side is leafy and historical seafaring captain homesteads.

The food scene. Arts. Craft brewers. Funky shops and typical stores mix together.

It’s a real gem. Just get off the campus bubble and get around.

The train station and everything described in this post are walking distance.

Really good Asian food is also available. Haruki near brown. Lamei Hot Pot. Sura Korean BBQ. Some solid and inexpensive sushi spots and Indian on wickeden st blocks from campus. Totally hip area. Also coffee and high end donuts and bakeries galore. Seven stars. All kinds on the west end. On wickeden street is the coffee exchange. Store roasted beans from exotic locales. And a brand new all vegan restaurant down the hill. It’s two restaurants in one. Italian and traditional pre covid it was packed.
