My family is visiting from outside the country and I’m bringing them to New Haven on 12/26. What are some good things to do to make a day out of it? Definitely getting pizza and walking around Yale, what else?
Yeah I have some other stuff planned around the state, just looking for NH. Art museum is a good idea
Giant steps

Woah! That looks great, will check this out
Wild berry is my favorite. Blueberry cheesecake is my next favorite but it can become a lot because of the custard
Check if the museums are open. There are two art museums, The Yale Art Gallery and The Yale Center for British Art. Both definitely worth a visit. Beinecke Library and the area around it (on Yale campus) is nice. There’s an interesting cemetery off Yale campus (Grove Street Cemetery) that’s nice for a quick stroll (closes at 4). Edgerton Park is really pretty, has a few small greenhouses that are open to the public, great place for a walk. The East Rock neighborhood is very walkable, has a new food hall and a brewery, lots of cafes, beautiful Victorian architecture. Home of Modern Apizza, one of the best pizza places in town. I think the drive up to the view from East Rock Park is closed but hiking trails are open if you want to take a short uphill hike. Wooster Square Park is near some of the pizza places, it’s a small square surrounded by beautiful 19th century homes. Some interesting shops downtown and over in Westville, which is a cute neighborhood about 10 min drive from downtown. A few independent bookstores, Strangeways, vintage clothing and housewares, art supplies, records.
Awesome recommendations thanks so much!
You’re welcome! Have fun!
Pizza. Wooster St. I reccomend Sally's over Pepe's.
Aside from that? Dunno. Walking around Yale seems pretty boring. You won't be allowed in any of the buildings.
For secondary things: Skate New Haven, Armada Brewing (daytime, nice, re-habbed building), Criterion Cinemas, and IT indoor rock climbing ( if entertaining kids) are all open on the 26th…
Armada Brewing looks cool will have to stop in, thanks! Mostly five adults but those are all fun ideas
The 2 Yale galleries are world class. Go to East Rock Brewing. Incredible sushi next door (Rockfish), but closed Monday.
I’d do Modern for pizza. Less crazy wait, open on Monday’s. Nolo is another option if you want NO wait.
Lots of other good food too, just depends on what you want.
Great recos. Atticus Market in East Rock has incredible breakfast sandwiches and other grab and go food. Munchies makes phenomenal subs.
We will def hit the galleries. I’m a sucker for BAR, the mash pot pizza is my jam, got to get them there . I’ve been to New Haven so often but it’s weird showing someone around like a tourist
Drats, Yale Art Gallery and the Yale British Art museum are both closed on Mondays
Or lunch. The savory crepes are outstanding.
