New London's Historic Waterfront District--"The District" for short--is the hub of creative energy that gives the city its Top Ten rating among creative communities of its size in America. Art, music, and design venues, one-of-a-kind boutiques, and over 30 eateries populate this 26-block National Register Historic District in New London, Conn. Nathan Hale, Benedict Arnold, and Eugene O'Neill walked these streets.
