While some people may forget how much talent it takes to craft a truly beautiful cocktail, that is NOT the case in New Haven.  Mixologists from over 30 bars and restaurants across the city have joined forces to host a celebratory and educational week dedicated to the art of the craft cocktail.  Specially designed menus, educational seminars, special events and more will take over the Elm City during the second annual New Haven Cocktail Week.  With cocktails starting at $8 there’s no reason not to get out there and enjoy!

If music, festivals and just simply having a great time are your thing, then New Haven is the place for you.  From cultural happenings like the Festival Puertorriqueno de New Haven to foodie activities like New Haven Craft Beer Festival, there’s so much to do…and all of August to do it!  Oh, did we mention that there’s a Dog Adoption and Appetizer & Dessert Crawl?  ‘Ruff said.

Make sure to stop by East Rock Park sometime this summer – trust us when we see this park has scenic views FOR DAYS.  Great view of New Haven? Check. New Haven Harbor?  Double Check!
