Party Vibes from City to Sea

Kick off your adventure with some waterfront flair at Dockside Brewery & Waterfront Biergarten, complete with bar bites, an indoor gaming area, lively taproom, and unique outdoor space (and igloo seating in the winter).

Then continue the celebration on Connecticut’s only pedal-powered party boat, Pedal Cruise Connecticut. Finish the night with a bite at Eli’s Tavern. Then rest your head at Residence Inn by Marriott.

The next day, make it a point to hop aboard Elm City Party Bike for a social way to go sightseeing – but not before stopping in at Insta-worthy Pistachio Café for a coffee or brunch.

After, try some famous food like the nation’s #1 pizza at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana or its biggest competitor, Sally’s Apizza. Or stop at Louis’ Lunch: the birthplace of the hamburger.

That night, expect the city to come alive. Go dancing at BAR or Club Vandome. Grab a cocktail at Ordinary or Geronimo Bar & Grill. Hit the adult arcade at Barcade or the rooftop at High George Rooftop Restaurant.

See live music at College Street Music Hall or Toad’s Place. Then settle in at New Haven Hotel or Study at Yale.

Finally, head back to the shore for another iconic waterfront brewery, Stony Creek. Grab a drink, play some cornhole, and watch the boats go by.

And while you’re in the area, try paddleboarding or kayaking to the Thimble Islands at Branford River Paddlesports, Kayaks and Tours.
