Since I was a student here, New Haven has really blossomed when it comes to dining. There were good restaurants here a decade ago, but not of the variety and quantity that exist today. When I first moved back, I didn't really believe it when I heard...
I love the fall! That was one thing I missed when I moved back to Miami. The leaves are always green there, which is nice, but doesn't get you into the spirit of the holidays the way a New England fall can. So now that fall is in full swing, for those...
As I have come to learn this past month, the International Festival of Arts and Ideas is a New Haven summer staple. Although the Festival was new to me, it began 15 years ago and is now established as a significant arts festival. The Festival offers a...
Saturday's performance of Romeo and Juliet by the Yale Repertory Theatre was my introduction to Yale's well-known theatre. I knew about Yale Rep's reputation while I was a student here, but I never managed to attend a production. That was...
After a week of more record snow (and shoveling), I decided to reward myself with a fun night out—well, for a 30+ year-old, a night out usually signifies happy hour and dinner so don’t expect anything wild. Although, stay tuned because Asha...
Upon my return from a recruiting trip a few weeks ago, I saw a big sign in Union Station that read: "New Haven Restaurant Week." I learned that like the restaurant week I was used to in Miami, the one here also offered prix fixe lunch and dinner...
Although I visited and ate at some of New Haven's greats like Mory's and Pepe's during my law school years, there were still lots of things that I missed the first time around like eating a hamburger at Louis' Lunch or catching a performance...
As the plane started to shake violently on my way back from a recruiting trip to California, one of the many thoughts that crossed my mind was of the recent meditation class I took at the law school and how if I knew how to breathe meditatively I might...
It still feels unreal that I am back in New Haven. A Miami native, I never thought when I moved back down to Florida after law school that I would be back in New Haven, let alone walking around the law school again. It has been an unexpected, yet thrilling...
Yesterday afternoon the Law School was host to a screening of the movie The Rainmaker , with an introduction by none other than John Grisham. Following the movie, Grisham answered questions from the audience before joining us for a reception in the Law...
This past week was a reminder that there can be absolutely beautiful spring days... in March... in New Haven. Many of the law students were off in Belize scuba diving or home visiting family and friends - it was spring break here at YLS - but the students...
This is another posting in my quest to let you all in on the hidden gems of New Haven. If you are a cheese lover, this entry is especially for you. I am tempted to simply cut and paste the menu from this next restaurant, because it speaks for itself....
It is the first week of spring semester at the Law School, with all of the excitement and energy that this entails. The term begins, like each new term, with the anticipation of a new curriculum and the comfort of catching up with old friends. The beginning...
The Cupcake Truck is a quirky and beloved New Haven experience. The flavors change daily and so does the location of the truck. In order to stop by the truck for one of their delicious $2 cupcakes, you will first have to visit their blog ( http://fooddriven...
The port of Mystic, Connecticut, is a great daytrip from New Haven. The drive only takes an hour and whenever I go I really feel like I have had an excursion out of town. Now I have to confess, the first time I drove out to Mystic it was to check out...
