Explore this college town to discover an old world campus, the first college museum in the US, the best pizza in the country and more. As someone who lives in New Haven and is married to a Yalie, I know what is worth seeing. Come on a one-day exploration of Yale University and its surroundings. We'll visit a secret society, happen across the most iconic painting of the Revolutionary War, and grab a cocktail at a 300+ year old bar. This is the best of New Haven.

I grew up in (and am loyal to) the San Francisco Bay Area but have moved around since college between there, New England, and the UK. Working on making my way back west but in the meantime happy to take a few detours… http://www.onehitwanders.com/ https://www.instagram.com/onehitwanders/
