In New York, it’s Broadway, in London—Abbey Road, in Paris—the Champs Elysees, and in New Haven? It could be Chapel Street or its own Broadway or even Hillhouse Avenue.

The Elm City boasts streets and neighborhoods that offer arts and culture, fantastically varied cuisine, shopping, parks, and historical landmarks. 

Here are some of New Haven’s famous streets worth exploring:

Running through downtown New Haven, parts of Chapel Street make up a 23-acre historical district that features an abundance of trendy cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques, and other shops as well as a few Yale museums. 

During the summer months, Chapel Street often hosts block parties, festivals, and art shows that attract people from all around the region. 

The street goes right through the Yale undergraduate campus and borders the New Haven Green, a park right in the downtown area.

Broadway is one of the main arteries and a lively area for people to explore in the downtown district. 

This area serves as a major cultural hub, hosting some of the city's most popular museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions as well as unique restaurants.

Hillhouse Avenue—which both Charles Dickens and Mark Twain purportedly called (the most beautiful street in America—is known for its 19th-century mansions. The home of Yale’s president is found here as are several homes listed as National Historic Landmarks like the James Dwight Dana House at 24 Hillhouse.

With its interesting restaurants, shops, and cultural institutions, New Haven's streets make it a fantastic destination for an unforgettable adventure.
