NEW HAVEN, CT – Mayor Justin Elicker released the following statement on The New York Times naming the City of New Haven as one of the “52 Places to Go in 2023”:
“It’s wonderful to see New Haven recognized as a premier world destination to visit and experience the arts, culture, food, distinctive neighborhoods, and so much more.
Anyone who walks, bikes, or buses through the streets or along the shoreline of New Haven will quickly notice the ‘treasure trove’ of all there is to do and see and why we’re on the map with so many other extraordinary travel destinations from around the globe. The description in The New York Times just scratches the surface of what New Haven has to offer, and I look forward to more visitors from across the country and tourists from around the world coming to enjoy the city and what we as residents get to experience every day.
In addition, with the ongoing implementation of our first-ever Cultural Equity Plan, we’re working hard as a city to ensure that even more of our traditionally under-represented local artists, cultural organizations, and civic institutions are celebrated and supported in order to provide an even richer and fuller reflection of the extraordinary artistic and cultural contributions and heritage of our residents.”
