Yale, apizza, and hidden depth
New Haven, Connecticut is a small city with an outsized cultural footprint, defined in large part by Yale University but not limited to it. The Green at the city's center is one of the oldest public squares in the country, flanked by three churches built in different centuries. New Haven claims to have invented the American hamburger and has one of the most celebrated pizza traditions in the country — a coal-fired, thin-crust style that locals call apizza and defend with complete seriousness. The Yale Peabody Museum and the Yale Center for British Art are free and extraordinary.
