New Haven is defined by Yale University, whose Gothic and modernist campus, hospital and research labs shape the city’s economy and its cultural life. Yale New Haven Hospital is one of the largest employers in the state, and a growing biotech and life sciences sector has taken root near the medical school and the downtown waterfront. The city also has a long history as an industrial port and a deep food tradition, most famously its coal-fired, thin-crust pizza, known locally as apizza.

New Haven sits about 80 miles from Midtown Manhattan and 140 miles from Boston, and Amtrak trains and I-95 are both often crowded. Tweed New Haven Airport, about four miles from downtown, makes it easy for visiting faculty, parents, patients and business travelers to arrive close to campus and leave the same day. Leisure visitors come for the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art, both free, for theater at the Shubert and Yale Repertory Theatre, and for the shoreline towns of Guilford and Madison to the east.
