not overly civil, but I'll bite. So by your logic, the only places worth visiting have increasing populations. So Stamford should be your favorite city in Connecticut. And mostly, that will be bedroom communities, right? When did I tell people to leave Groton? Or move anywhere? Also, all the attractions you mention in mystic are not anywhere near the city of Groton. The city is only a small portion on the western end of the town, while Mystic is at the eastern end, shared with the town of Stonington.
Coming from someone in Stamford, if you go to Stamford, here is what to do: Morning: Hike in mianus river park. it is beautiful, easy to understand, and all around cool. Lunch: Go to Elm Street Diner for lunch. They have great, innovative food, and insane shakes. Afternoon: Go to the Cove island park. It has a beach and is also pretty, and a small playground if you have kids. Dinner: Walk down Bedford. It has many great restaurants and it is hard to go wrong. Have a good day!
Torrington suffered great damage in the 1955 flood. It was a manufacturing city that lost most of its large industries in the decades after the flood. There are many pleasant neighborhoods surrounding the downtown center. The city is the only one in Litchfield County, with nice small towns surrounding it.
Connecticut is not a tourist destination, but for the people that live there it offers tremendous variety of places to explore all within an afternoons drive. Truly, the most compact collection of day trip destinations in any of the 50 states.
Bristol has very cool history. We have the Clock & Watch Museum, as they were famously manufactured in Bristol and surrounding towns, and the Carousel Museum. Not to mention Lake Compounce (which was already commented); the longest running amusement park in the United States, and we also have Mike at Taco Bell on route 6; whose been serving smiles for 25 years. The worst cities, in a tier list (coming from a Connecticuter) Bridgeport and Waterbury have absolutely no redeeming qualities, New Havens’ got the best pizza in the country, and Hartford + New Britain are the lower income, as well as Bridgeport and Waterbury, except there are good hole in the wall spots in NB and Hartford. The only hole in the wall you’ll see in Bridgeport and Waterbury is bullet holes.
Grew up in the torrington/winsted area, and i gotta say youre analysis is pretty accurate. Not a terrible place to live at all, relatively safe but definitely not a lot going on for it.
Well presented, and the rankings for visitor amenities well reasoned. I was surprised that New London edged New Haven for tourist attractiveness, but again ,well reasoned. Stamford is probably the best city for residence, but it’s fourth place ranking again well reasoned. This is the most accurate representation of urban Connecticut I’ve seen so far.
Do you realize that most cities in Connecticut are 300 or more years old and therefore the streets are not well laid out. You missed the parks, beaches restaurants and nightlife. They can not build apartments fast enough to met demain.
Stamford is the best city in CT! Then Hartford Downtown area, and New Haven Downtown. I don't think Norwalk is that bad because it's basically next to Stamford and one hour to NYC.
New Haven, The upper Green was a cemetery, and the church on the corner has grave site still in the basement, The lower Green was water at one time and a lot of homes around there have widows walks. There is a lot of history in NH. as Branford
Brideport has a high durg, and crime rate. However, a lot of the hoods travel to the sbs, like milford, east haven, branford and rob cars and run them to bridgport, some jump on the ferries to LI, NY. Branford even had a Hallmark moving filmed there.
hii!!! i’m from torrington, (still live here) and i just came here because i saw you ranking our cities! also my favorite pizza in winsted is definitely abc! totally recommended.
“Tell me you’re from Rhode Island Without telling me you’re from Rhode Island” 1 Bristol has the biggest waterpark in CT 2 Stamford should be ranked higher has a lot of shopping places 3 why the hell is Waterbury not 20 4 derby is the West Virginia of CT 5 For all the CT people who have been unlucky enough to go to Ansonia, well. You came back with 5 ticks and 47 mosquito bites.
I enjoyed your ranking and post. A good analysis of communities. I do find some major overlooks. A city is defined as an incorporated area of 50,000 or more residents. Many of your inclusions don’t have that . I understand that may not be the only criteria. A big overlook is Wallingford. A healthy downtown with historical buildings. The prestigious Choate Rosemary Prep-school campus downtown. A healthy commercial corridor with every store or service one needs. Also extensive healthy large farms some protected from development. In your honorable mention one big omission. West Haven: has the longest public beaches in the state 3 miles. Open free to everyone on the planet. No residency requirements . Only parking fees and still plenty of free street parking in adjacent neighborhoods.
I work in Norwich, live in New London, and I'm a former resident of both Hartford and Stamford. New Haven is the best in terms of a full urban experience. Hartford was surprisingly comfortable. Stamford is nice but so expensive that if you don't have a lot of money, you'll feel out of place. I'm enjoying my time in new london, It has a real authentic and continuing maritime tradition and is affordable for a coastal community.
Everyone should experience a mountain bike stunt show in New London, CT! Not much I can argue with on the list other than possibly Norwalk ahead of Bridgeport for the aquarium alone. Bridgeport may have better bones, but is simply too run down IMO
Hey agreed to an extent. Could have taken more B roll of Bridgeport in my opinion in Black Rock (the cool hip neighborhood you mentioned as the intresting neighborhood of town, and the McLevy Hall square is a cool view too on the plaque where Abraham Lincoln made his last speech in New England. But really cool video you basically nailed all of them!
Hmmm idk I think New Haven should've been #1. The history? Proximity to NYC (greatest large city in the universe)? Sheer beauty? I mean c'mon. Modern America started in New Haven. #NHV #gscia
I don't understand your criteria at all. True, some of your top cities have very interesting places to visit, but you keep mentioning that many of these cities you ranked high are dirty, rundown, high crime, industrial, etc. - in my mind, certainly not places you'd want to live. You completely decided that some of your lower ranked cities are boring, but sometimes boring means a comfortable place to live. For example, Milford has history, a quaint downtown, parks and one of the longest shorelines in CT. Maybe if you had titled the video to rank them on places to visit vs places to live, it might be more accurate.
You’ve got to be joking. The worst city has colloquially been agreed on that it’s Bridgeport. Even the Rhode Islanders know it, to the point where it’s got its own joke on Family Guy.
@@ExploretheNortheastyes! A thousand times yes! Bridgeport is the armpit of Connecticut. Always has been. My job takes me all over the state and Bridgeport has become a dreaded destination for me. Even just navigating it is frustrating.
@@dont_even_view2985 The worst city in CT is Hartford. Then New Haven and Bridgeport is tied. I would say Bridgeport is slightly worse because it's more beat down. Yale is keeping New Haven from being the slums.
New Haven is the best city in Connecticut! It’s not only good because it has Yale, the city has a lot of history, the best pizza in America (No, not Chicago but New Haven is number one in America and this is a proven fact), Lighthouse Beach is very scenic although it’s really ghetto, downtown has a really great vibe, East Rock has awesome views of the autumn foliage, the culture is very diverse, and the nightlife is good too!
Statistics often result in boring results. Usually bedroom communities thrive on those kinds of lists. Like, I've seen other channels do it for best places in New York, and everything is in the suburbia of Long Island.
Not as knowledgeable on towns to live in, but I guarantee most sources will simply list towns along the coast and Candlewood Lake. But they're expensive!
I deleted my comment as I realized it wasn’t constructive. Please actually visit these cities and spend time in them before commenting on them. Not just “traveling” via Google Maps. You’ll get more followers and your videos will be more useful.
@@ExploretheNortheast I live in Milford, and your description is way off. Unless you only hung out by the mall, I guess. Also grew up in Danbury. Lastly, suggesting people go to Fair Haven? Love some of the Hispanic food there, the riverfront and Fair Haven Oyster, and Armada Brewing, but it’s pretty rough overall.
There are countless locations with higher total population and population density than Ansonia, Derby, and Winsted/Winchester. This poorly reflects an accurate representation of Connecticut cities.
Bristol is probably the best city in CT and West Hartford and East Hartford are good sized separate cities. New London number one wow! New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain, and Meriden are downright scary especially at night. I loved all the footage.
In the 60's, there was a song named" Bristol Stomp", I think it was a doo woop tune. It was probably a dance trend back then. I am an 80's Chicago who heard the song on a oldies station back in the day. Every state has areas that are dicey, grimy, and up and coming. I grew up on the West Side of Chicago circa 70's-90's, a very disadvantaged, low income area, but it had good points as well, namely The Garfield Park Conservatory. Never count an area out.
Im from around here… sort of.. u said all the nice places were “boring”.. would u rather have that or ghetto garbage?? Danbury is pretty nice.. right above it you have Waterbury, a complete shithole.. one of the worst cities ever..
I don't care what you say i went up north last spring and i couldn't wait to leave, crowded, dirty and extremely expensive, most folks have attitude. I lived there first 40 yrs of my life.
I was raised in West Haven. It has its share of tough spots, but I remember when there were miles of FREE public beaches. 1/3 of the High School faces the beach. You'd look longingly at the beach from class, sometimes not waiting for school to end before heading to Jimmie's.
I’m from the valley obviously you haven’t visited these places. The cities of Ansonia Derby and Shelton were all at one time just Derby they split up 200 hundred years ago but we’re really a continuous geographic region. One downtown bordered the neighboring downtown. The 1955 flood wiped out much of it then urban renewal highway systems like other parts of the country did the same. All three cities are getting better if only the state can finish the Rt 34 construction that runs threw derby. It coincidentally removed the south side of Main Street.
The pit known as Bridgeport exists do that people can live off the mill rates brought in but affluent towns. Stamford has a long way to go. HARTFORD? ICK. NEW HAVEN GROSS! New London bleh. Lord stay safe if you go in these dumps
@rejoicingnow I'm a hartford native, not the best but not the worst. Yard goats stadium us great. Uconn games are electric! Parkville market thr best place to grab a bite outside downtown.
@@rejoicingnowit’s not “bad.” It has some bad neighborhoods and the original downtown was pretty much gutted by the death of retail.

There’s definitely a good amount of “cities” on this list that should be towns and towns that should be considered cities and be on it.
Having lived for a while in Enfield CT these cities all have great character. But small town CT has real charm.
Connecticut is not a tourist destination, but for the people that live there it offers tremendous variety of places to explore all within an afternoons drive. Truly, the most compact collection of day trip destinations in any of the 50 states.
To me it is. I fly to visit and sight see. In my opinion it’s so much more interesting than Florida
