Yes, I understand they were far away, that’s why I’m saying they spontaneously camped in New Haven and it’s just not a great city to go to spontaneously. You can’t just wander around and find cool stuff everywhere

I disagree, you can absolutely spontaneously stop by and have a nice time for an afternoon or evening. If you're expecting hours of urban wandering you're gonna be disappointed but you could've saved yourself the trouble by just looking at a map.

Obviously not, see the post we are commenting on. If you live in the area, sure. But not as easy as when you’re a tourist

You keep on saying "its not so easy if youre a tourist", like a mantra as if tourists are all brainless shambling zombies. Then again OP was unable to find Yale despite being within clear line of sight to a couple tall Yale buildings and presumably around plenty of townies who could point them in the right direction, yet failed to find it, so who knows maybe youre right.

Maybe some people are shy and don’t feel comfortable asking strangers for help? What I am saying is New Haven isn’t just a city where you can just walk around Lake, New York city or Boston and find some cool stuff, you walk in the wrong area New Haven then you’re done for. Obviously, this is what they did. They walked around and found the worst part, they could’ve kept walking towards Yellen found something better, but I think the point is New Haven is ignite city for people who live here, but not that great for tourists.

They took way more initiative in creating their post than they did during their time here. They had a 90 minute drive to look up one of the many recently articles from the NYT about what there is to do here, let alone from a local publication. Instead they wanted to complain. Sorry that locals aren’t satisfied with that.
