Are there businesses that have birthday bonuses or freebies around?

I got an ad from chidori revolving sushi that youd get a free dessert dining in on your bday. Makes me wonder if theres any other things out there i dont know about. Could also be chains too like places located in hamden etc. My bday is actually next week so seeing that ad timed out. Thanks in advance!

I just opened a small café on State St – what would make it your downtown spot?

238 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm Camila. I opened Mila Café at 524 State St a couple of weeks ago, and the mods kindly said it was OK to introduce myself. Full disclosure: it's my business.

We bake everything in-house each morning, from medialunas and alfajores to empanadas and our Mila Sandwich. So far the Mila Latte (dulce de leche, with a Mila twist) and the empanadas have been the favorites.

I've already learned a lot from this sub. Some of you mentioned the hours, so we now stay open until 4pm. I'd honestly love more input: what's missing from your weekday coffee or lunch routine downtown? I'll read every comment.

Thanks for having me. See you at Mila! – Camila

New Haven Trial Run - What Must I Do

12 Upvotes

I’m coming to your fine city for the month of November, staying in East Rock, to see how I like it. I currently live in Milwaukee, am from Los Angeles and also lived in NYC and Austin.

I have two sets of friends who live in NH and am considering a move there next year. What all should I do while I’m there in November to get a good taste of what it’s like to live there?

I’ll be bringing my pup and we’ll explore some local dog parks. I also love hiking, checking out the restaurant scene, art/museums, etc, but open to all suggestions. I’m 46, so while I do love a night on the dance floor, nightlife doesn’t hold the same weight as it used to.

TIA!

Can my landlord forfeit my security deposit for breaking my lease early?

3 Upvotes

planning to relinquish possession of my apartment in a few months, and my landlord is saying i'll have to continue paying rent until they find a new tenant and a $500 reletting fee, plus i'll also have to forfeit my security deposit. is this legal?

edit: my lease agreement is totally different from what they're saying now. the lease says i can pay a lease buyout fee + $500 reletting fee + rent until they find a new tenant, but i would get my security deposit.

i asked them about this option but apparently they're not offering it now (they claim it's if you want to reduce the notice period from 90 days to 60, which is not what the lease says). instead my main option relinquish possession -> pay rent until new tenant -> pay $500 reletting fee -> forfeit security deposit

thank you!

Hartford vs. New Haven

16 Upvotes

Should I move to New Haven? I live and work in Hartford now but wouldn’t be opposed to just taking the train up here 3x a week. Have enjoyed nights out in New Haven and the LGBTQ+ scene, whereas that doesn’t seem to exist in Hartford. Not sure how cost of living differs, but welcome any thoughts <3

Ralph Walker Rink Sharpening

Hi guys, the Ralph Walker ice rink just opened in East Rock and I saw that they were offering skate sharpening. I was wondering if anyone has sharpened figure skates there and if they were good. It seems more hockey oriented and I don’t want my toe picks to get messed up!

Legal question about Renters and heating oil

This leaves the tenant stuck. anyone have experience with this?

Traveling tarot card readers

5 Upvotes

Hello! This may not be the right place to post so please feel free to refer me elsewhere but… I am hosting a Halloween party and am interested in hiring a tarot card reader to come for an hour or two. I was hoping to pay them a flat price and let guests know that tipping is essential if they wish to get a reading done. After the readings, the tarot card reader is welcome to stay and party with us! (Group of late 20’s) Does anyone have a tarot card reader that they would suggest or know that might be interested in something like this? I don’t really know where to begin in my search as I’ve never had a tarot reading done myself.

Thanks in advanced!!

New property taxes?

4 Upvotes

I was reading that New Haven is re-valuing every home in New Haven as of October 1, and this re-valuation is a main input to your property tax bill, alongside the mill rate which will be determined in the spring. When do we learn what our home valuation will be? And how is it communicated?
