Hey are you lost?
Terrick, over here!
Oh,
I was just trying to explore New Haven a bit.
No problem, we can show you around. New Haven is a fantastic city
I’m Maya... I'm Charlie...
Terrick... wait, weren’t you guys just in
the poster? Do you live....
...in New Haven? Of course....
But Yale students do more than just live in New Haven.
We participate and engage in all different aspects of the city.
Come on let's show you around your new home.
Let's do it!
Great! Let me show you where The Green is on the map.
[upbeat music]
Right across from Old Campus is The Green, the center of life
here New Haven.
You can do pretty much anything here from concerts to rallies.
You can meet anyone from the city, here.
And all around The Green and beyond, are a variety of
religious institutions. So if you're interested in staying
involved in your religious community,
New Haven has nearly all groups.
Plus, right over there, is the public transit hub.
You can catch a bus to nearly anywhere in the city.
Terrick>>Wow. How big is New Haven?
The city's about 130,000 residents, small enough
so it's not overwhelming but big enough that there's always
something to do.
So, let's go explore!
Hang on. First we need to say “Hi” to a friend in City Hall.
Come on, it’s right here...
[upbeat music]
This is City Hall, come on!
[upbeat music]
Terrick>>This place is incredible!
Yeah, this building was built in 1861.
The architecture is great in here.
Maya>>Hey Mayor Harp!
Hi Maya. Hi Charlie. What are you up to?
We’re showing Tarrick around New Haven.
Nice to meet you Tarrick. Nice to meet you.
Have you been to Wooster Square yet?
Not yet. That's our next stop though.
All right. Have fun!
Terrick>>Thank you. Maya>> Thank you
She was really nice. Are students ever involved in
New Haven politics?
Yeah, Yale students actually can register to vote here in New
Haven, and we like to stay engaged with
what's happening in our community.
There's also usually a Yale student or recent graduate
who ends up actually being an Alderperson for the city.
Terrick>> Very cool.
But the real question is, are you guys hungry?
Of course.
Then it's time to go to our next stop.
Let me show you where it is on the map.
[dynamic music]
This is Wooster Street, home of Pepes, just one of New Haven's
famous pizzerias. I'm really hungry. I got to go get a slice.
He looks like he likes his pizza!
New Haven is more than just pizza though. We have Thai,
Ethiopian, Mexican,
Chinese, Italian, Indian.
We're actually home to the world's oldest hamburger joint.
We have tons of great local restaurants. And we have a food
truck scene, where the four dollar tacos are my favorite.
Plus we have the Wooster Square Farmer's Market, where local
farmers bring their produce, their milk, their meat,
and they sell it. The Yale Farm actually holds a
booth every Saturday.
Charlie you think you've got enough?
I get hungry when I walk.
(laughs) Come on, we have so much more to see.
New Haven is more than just food.
Do we have to walk everywhere?
Of course not. You can get bikes up the block. Let's go.
[upbeat music]
Charlie>> Hey Doug!
Oh hey guys! Going for a bike ride?
Yeah we’re just showing Terrick around the city.
Doug’s one of the people behind the Bike New Haven project which
has made getting a bike much easier.
We've really been trying to make New Haven friendly for bikers
and pedestrians alike.
It's made getting around this city a breeze.
Where are you off to next?
I was thinking we’d check out Artspace.
Awesome! Have fun.[rings bell].
[dynamic music]
So this is one of the many art galleries in New Haven.
There's always some different show or exhibit happening here.
Maya>> Hi Ruby! How's it going?
Great! We're just taking Terrick around New Haven today.
That's cool. New Haven has a really cool art scene.
And artists show their work all the time with the community.
There's a festival every year that New Haven hosts called
“Arts and Ideas”. Art Space actually has their own event
called the "City Wide Open Studios". You can see all these
artists at work.
Ruby>> And actually, Art Space loves to host
different Yale students to help us out with the really cool
events every year.
Charlie>> Being in the city means that there's always jobs
available for students.
Cool City’s got it all!
I know. And we still have one more place left to go.
[upbeat music]
Terrick>> Wow you can see the whole city from up here!
Charlie>> This is East Rock. Students come here for jogging,
picnics, or just reconnecting with nature.
Yeah my running group and I come up there once a week.
You know it is crazy how much we've done in just one day.
And we've only scratched the surface!
Terrick>>New Haven really is beautiful.
Maya>> It is. It's a great place to call home.
Charlie>> Well time to go.
Yep! Our job is done here. If you ever need anything else
you know where to find us.
Thanks guys. I really appreciate you showing me all of this.
Charlie! Maya!
Where did you guys go?
How am I supposed to get back to campus?
(sighs)...OK ... um...
We're over here Terrick. Welcome to New Haven.
