History might as well be around every corner in New Haven, but the green probably tipifies's it.

Right at the center of New Haven's original nine square, this public space is in right next to Yale University, Chapel Street, the theaters and plenty of bars and restaurants. New Haven's founders laid out a grid pattern of 3 by 3 squares (think city blocks) and the Green is in the middle. It's all public space so there is... More

Not only is the Green lovely to walk, but from there, go in any direction for fun little shops and restaurants and museums. Located near Yale, try their walking tour, it's free. Visit the public library or take a bus ride from the stops there. Only sad point is the homeless who inhabit it, but they keep moving okay.

This Green covers 2 large block areas and is a pleasant place to sit and have lunch and look at Yale's building, Old historic churches and the shopping area of downtown New Haven

Occupy New Haven may be the last tent city left in New England. It was great while it lasted. Other than that, New Haven Green is a historic and beautiful place: Part of the first planned city in the U.S. Home to New Haven's Arts and Ideas Festival.

The Green is supposed to be a "green" respite for all to use in the middle of the city. I think the City has been very reasonable in allowing a loosely aligned "group" of "protesters" to take the Green as their own campground for months. It is now time for this group to leave. If every person or group that... More

Love the jazz festival and the summer concert series. There is always something going on in the summer and the farmers market is great too.

We strolled around the park during day and night. While pretty, we did find it a little rougher of a crowd. Lots of bus stops around it and some shady looking folks hanging out. Not sure if there is a homeless issue or not but...point is, you wondered. Reminded me of DC, but concentrated into a smaller area.

This historic green is not only beautiful, it is historic, and next to the University buildings. There are great festivals on the Green in summer.
