Washington D.C. may be one of the most famous places to view cherry blossoms but Connecticut isn’t far behind. New Haven was just named by Cheapism as one of the top 20 places in the world to check out the cherry tree blooms. Plan a little field trip this Spring to the Elm City and stroll the streets under the canopy of color.
After a long winter, there’s nothing quite as magical as the emergence of spring flowers. In New Haven, the historic Wooster Square neighborhood becomes a bewitching paradise full of fragrant cherry blossoms.
