Whether you're from West Rock, Amity, Bethany, or beyond... New Haven is home for all the coolest cats. There's Junko, a resident of East Rock, hanging out with a downstairs neighbor having a conversation. You'll find him friendly, attentive, and altogether well-mannered and informed about the goings on of New Haven, thanks to the twitter tag #NHV and Nhv.Org.
Also if you're in the Portland Maine area, and you need acupuncture, Stereomedia has partnered with former bartender of Elm Bar Jon Flick (of local New Haven band "Bluto") and created a lovely blogspot for Jon's wife, Kelly, who performs acupuncture (link).
