Tennis this weekend?

I'm going to be in New Haven this weekend on a campus recruiting trip. Is anyone available to hit Saturday morning? I play in 4.0 USTA leagues so willing to hit with anyone 3.5+.

Lost AirPod case

If anybody on a New Haven/grand central train finds a white AirPod case with the right AirPod in it please let me know :( I just got my first pair as a gift earlier this year. I’m sure it slid out my pants pocket before I got off the train. Please keep an eye out for me!

BIG BIG BOOM!?!

Please tell me someone anyone has even the slightest clue what Tobago sane boo was around 9pm last night (Monday) around rt 80/quinnipiac area (grand ave side). It was insane. I’ve lived in Fair Haven my entire life so I’m well accustomed to shitty cars, gun shots, m80s, etc. I was parked on Eastern st by Bella vista when it happened, and I was fully expecting to see one of the buildings blown up, people running, maybe a scream….nothing. NOTHING! I genuinely thought this was it, I’ve finally gone completely insane lol throw me in a padded room and q throw Away the key lol. But I was quickly validated by a security guard who also heard the BOOM while on the 17th floor! He me mentioned something about the sewers? Idk I’m pretty sure a water main bursting y doesn’t sound like a literal bomb and would cause a lot more commotion. PLEASE PEOPLE I NEED ANSWERS ! I’ve googled and facebooked every corner with nothing not even on, On scene media (if you’re a nosy NHV local like me def follow em)

Favorite authentic cuisine restaurant?

Now that Kuro Shiro is gone (we weren’t blown away by their new place), what’s your favorite restaurant in New Haven? I want authentic, not Americanized.

Suggestions for a restaurant in New Haven or just outside the area that would host 15-20 people? Bonus if there’s a private room for the party!

Guy in U-haul van driving around asking random people if they wanted to sell their house? In Hamden.

Sketchy request, but driving around wearing a medical mask with what sounded like other guys in the back of the rental van. Accosted my gf briefly asking for our landlords number, but drove away when I went outside. Seemed like he wanted to get her in a face to face conversation out of her car.

Not sure if I’m overthinking it, but anyone seen them? We’re in Hamden near the town line.

Walking from Elm St down Temple St to Chapel / Crown St at night…safety?

I’m hosting an event at a venue on Elm St on a Saturday and it is scheduled to end around midnight. Because of street parking technically having a two hour limit I believe most people are going to be parking in garages downtown (most likely Temple or Crown St Garage).

My question: do you think guests are in danger around the City Green walking down Temple St to either of those garages at like 12am?

Free honky-tonk show tonite at Cafe Nine: Ellis Bullard

Any boot-scooters and scuttle-butters out there, Ellis Bullard and the boys are in town from Texas for a second night at Cafe Nine. These guys are real deal country western music, and Ellis sounds like a modern day Waylon/Dwight Yoakam. Showtime is a little loosey goosey tonight but should be around 8 PM.

Study Spots in the Greater New Haven Area!

Hi all,

I'm a 24 year old male finishing some pre-requisite credits this fall before starting a MA education program and I'm looking for a good place to study in New Haven on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm currently located in Hamden closest to the New Haven line and I was disappointed to find that only the main branch of the Hamden Public Library is open on the weekends (the Whitneyville location would've been perfect), and that I'm technically closer to the Yale libraries than the Miller Library (which is closed on Sundays anyway).

My place currently doesn't have WiFi, and I've been getting along fine with phone hotspot data, but it's more about my living space not being a conducive workspace and finding a better mental space for productivity. The Yale libraries website is difficult to follow and it doesn't seem like downtown New Haven is the best spot to find free parking. Is my best bet the Miller Library?

New Haven for a day

Hi everybody,

My friend from Taiwan is visiting the US and we are planning to meet in New Haven. She’s staying in NYC and I live in Massachusetts so it seems like a decent half way point to meet.

What would you recommend we do if in the city for a day? I’ll have my car so willing to drive up to 30ish minutes in any direction. We are both outdoorsy people so if there are any hikes or parks around that’s a plus. Food recommendations would be helpful too! Places to avoid?

Thank you so much!! xx

Edit: we will be there this Saturday, if that helps

Joe Comfort passed?

Saw this post from Elm City Games. Man was an absolute local legend. When I was 17/18, we went to a show at Toads. One of our friends who had drove had become almost blackout drunk. Tl;dr, Joe drove the car from downtown to Branford, and then bought us breakfast with the money we had given him earlier in the night. And kept running out to the car to make sure our passed out friend was getting black coffee pumped into him

Beware of the table tennis guy

That guy who always posts table tennis invites on this sub at wooster square. I played him the other day and he completely demolished me full knowing that I was a complete beginner. He was literally trying his hardest against me for whatever reason =/ And after the game ended, he didnt even shake my hand and just left. I was stunned by what i thought was going to be an innocent game of ping pong, like wtf

To the person who pooped inside Judges Cave… who hurt you?

There’s something definitely wrong with you to go out of your way to ruin an experience for every other person that goes through there. Other than that, great day to be outside.
