You definitely missed out on some of the best tacos in the world by not going to the trucks. When you were at long wharf?. I was born and raised here. The Long Wharf taco trucks are known by every person who eats tacos as a not so well kept secret now. They have been parking and selling tacos for over 25 years. I remember seeing the trucks there when I was very young..like the late 80s early 90s

Darn, I wish I knew that! It would've been perfect to enjoy some tacos along the wharf. I can't remember the exact time, but it was maybe an hour or so before sundown. Next time I'm in New Haven, I'll keep that in mind.

One thing you didn't see, because it was too far to walk and you probably didn't have time: The Peabody Museum of Natural History on Whitney Avenue. It has that famous huge painted dinosaur mural on the wall - worth the admission price by itself. If you ever get back there, do check it out; it's worth it. Very short bus ride from downtown.

Great video. That creepy bridge was built over the railroad tracks to reconnect downtown with the waterfront. Definitely not the most welcoming bridge, and it lands you at I-95 so, as you said, there's still the task of getting to the actual waterfront. Perhaps they should consider a big dig like they did in Boston making 95 a tunnel along the wharf. 🤷

Just 3 years ago ( pre- defund police liberal policies emboldening criminals to feel they rule), we went to New Haven and felt reasonably safe. Fast forward to now, we didn't feel safe practically anywhere but the pizza areas, and crossing the city streets from the train exit to the green seemed like a murder would take place any second. The CVS on the corner seemed to be headquarters for drug deals and the homeless to get their showers. I've never smelled more pot than at a Grateful Dead show. Once we saw what was going in and out of that CVS, we turned back and got the hell out. I guess the whole Green area is now off limits. Nothing is worth getting shot over. One day, these prosecutors who don't prosecute, may realize what they've done to American cities, but for now, most are off limits to people who choose to stay alive. When somebody has a travel video ( this video) that says " if I may it back alive", that tells all
