New Haven, Connecticut: Downtown Driving Tour (Including Yale Campus)

Our driving tour video of downtown New Haven, Connecticut. The video starts coming off the interstate and making our way around parts of the Yale University Campus.

New Haven was settled as a town in 1638 and incorporated as a city in 1784. The current city population is just over 130,000 while the metro area is closer to 900,000. The city is on New Haven Harbor on Long Island Sound.

The largest building in downtown is the Connecticut Financial Center. This skyscraper is located at 157 Church Street, is 383 feet in height with 26 floors and opened in 1990. This building is seen in the video.

New Haven is 81 miles northeast of New York City, 138 miles southwest of Boston, Massachusetts and 39 miles south of Hartford, CT. The downtown streets were used extensively for the chase scene near the beginning of the iconic movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But that movie here: https://amzn.to/2Zf7p68
