Things To Do
Yale University Art Gallery
The Yale University Art Gallery is world-class and completely free. Contemporary art, old masters, and everything in between. Be sure to spend some time walking around Yale’s campus. The mix of Gothic, modern, and brutalist architecture is striking.
Yale Center for British Art
Right across the street from Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale Center for British Art is quieter, beautifully curated, and worth even a short visit.
East Rock Park
East Rock Park offers one of the best views in the area and is an easy hike or quick drive.
Lighthouse Point Park
Lighthouse Point Park sits right on the water and is especially nice if the weather’s good.
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana
The original and most famous. You’ll hear this from everyone, but it’s true: New Haven apizza is a big deal!
Sally's Apizza
Equally legendary.
Modern Apizza
More of a local favorite.
Louis' Lunch
Tiny rustic lunch spot - invented the hamburger in 1900.
Union League
Classic French fine dining with top-tier service and refined seasonal menus — one of New Haven’s most highly regarded restaurants.
olea
Elegant Spanish cuisine with thoughtful small plates and an excellent wine list.
Ordinary
For a nightcap - thoughtful cocktails and a cozy feel.
BAR
A New Haven institution if you’re in the mood for something lively. Bar & dance club. Crown Street is a good area to wander and see where the night takes you!
Pantry
Classic American breakfast in a laid-back space.
