Hey everyone,

I'm currently enrolled in a graduate biology class at Yale and my project involves studying the multiplication rate of Mosquitos and its effect on neighboring habitats.

I was wondering if anyone is able to make any suggestions on how to increase the hatch rate of mosquitos. What factors could potentially inhibit or destroy the eggs if I were to breed them in my backyard?

Oh and by the way, I think my neighbor is stalking me. I'd hate to call the cops on him, but is there a hotline for this kind of thing?

Thanks

hello everyone!

i’ve been wanting to go to a good chinese buffet for a while now but have been nervous to go to one in case it’s not good. what are you guys’ favorite chinese buffet in ct? doesn’t have to be in new haven, but just preferably not farther than 25 miles from new haven unless it’s REALLY fuckin good. TIA!

Found a young mother cat near the intersection of Orange St and England Drive, down on the stairs leading to the trail. She let me pick her up and transport her in my car with no issues. Way too comfortable with people to be feral, she was purring and grooming herself in my lap, enjoying the cuddles. Unfortunately because she is actively nursing I had to return her to where I found her. She at least got a good meal. She is dirty and flea ridden but has a wonderfully sweet disposition. I left a carrier with towels and food nearby for her so I hope to find her and the kittens tomorrow. If you recognize her please leave a comment.

Wayne Hancock is the king of juke joint swing - a potent mix of honky tonk, blues, Texas swing and rockabilly. He has been a legend in the game since dropping the classic “Thunderstorms & Neon Signs” in 1995.

Audrey Mae are hands down the best bluegrass/Americana group in New England. Featuring soaring harmony vocals courtesy of Peter Winne & Joe Delillo, anchored by the rock solid bass of Joe Lemeris and the masterful fiddle & banjo stylings of Sam McDougle, these bluegrass veterans always hit the mark, everytime.

I've been looking for a 1 bedroom or studio that has a loft layout (with stairs that go up into a loft area). Does anyone know of any apartments that offer this layout?

Anyone have a good place for Pão de queijo in New Haven? Can't find any. Thanks!

My bf had tiramisu for the first time at Sally's and is super obsessed. Where can I take him to surprise him with 10/10 tiramisu? I'm always down to travel and treat him to dinner while we're in the area so anything within a 45 minute drive of New Haven is game.

I take Whitney all the way from downtown up to skiff in order to get home in hamden. How does it look currently?

Any recs for a nail salon in the New Haven area that does a great spa pedicure? I'm talking the whole deal with massage, hot towels, exfoliating scub, etc.

I've gone to Day Night Nail Spa in Hamden a couple times for a few manicures and one pedicure, and have had mixed experiences. I also don't like the atmosphere. Feels like being in Forever 21.

“Don’t go chasin’ waterfalls,” we’ve been told over and over, starting in 1995 when the song came out.

Having been caught unprepared by Saturday’s deluge, and lacking a square inch of dry clothing left to lose, I decided to ignore that advice.

This may be a long shot but looking to see if anyone has seen the below bike. I was out of town for the last 1-2 weeks and upon my return my bike was gone. They left my helmet and U-lock. Presumably stolen the first or second week of July. Stolen from back deck of East Rock residence.

The bike is a 2018 Giant Escape 3 (Size: Medium) (Color: Matte Black/Graphite-Gold)

It also has a parking pass sticker on it from Indiana University: Bloomington.

This was my college bike and holds sentimental value. (Pictured with front wheel removed)

Please let me know if you see or hear anything.

Filing a police report with NHPD and sending emails to the local shops as well.

(I realize I will probably never see the bike again so please save any pessimistic comments for the next guy 😢)

Hi everyone,

I just renewed my lease, so I’m set for the near future, but I’m looking ahead and want to explore shared housing options down the line in New Haven.

I think there’s a real need for good shared living or co-housing options for the 50+ crowd—a setup for people who want community and shared space without giving up their independence.

If you're in that demographic and interested in brainstorming or collaborating on what this could look like, shoot me a DM.

A couple of months ago, I recorded a video of an employee at a local 3-store bakery who consistently provides fantastic service. I got the employee’s consent to record and share it with my neighbors in a major New Haven residential complex to highlight their great work.

However, I haven't spoken to the bakery owners, and the employee doesn't know I'm considering posting the video here on Reddit.

Is this kind of video and unsolicited praise allowed on Reddit and in the r/NewHaven sub? Also, what’s the consensus on posting something like this publicly without checking with the business owners first?

Yesterday I was preoccupied pumping gas and placed my phone and wallet on top of my car. Then I left and was driving down Whalley towards Amity and passed the little median right before the road splits and becomes amity road and the unhoused man who is always at the median with a sign started shouting something and chasing my car. I was skeptical but pulled over and rolled down my window and he handed me my phone and wallet. I was so struck that this person who could obviously use those things more than me chased me down to return them, and it was a lovely reminder there is still kindness in the world when it often doesn’t feel that way. I returned and repaid him, but I wanted to note his kind action in case anyone drives by him and has a sandwich or a few extra bucks to toss him. He deserves all the good karma ♥️.

My 100+ has some quirks that we want to make sure are just aging and not something else structurally. Worried about using a company that also sells remedies to any structural problems. Wondering if anyone here has recommendations for a structural engineer who could come out and checkout our house to ensure structural integrity.
