Oooh! The several Asian markets on Whitney and Orange are totally worth yr time. The expected assortment of crazy candies and off-the-wall drinks to browse. You won't leave empty handed.

Update: yday we strolled around. I am so amazed at the architecture!! We saw the Praise Song for the Day inauguration poem lady do a reading at Labyrinth, and then we did trivia at lolBlack Bear. Today were doing art museums; we did Peabody yday as well and I got Bengali burritos! So good.

Today was North Haven, omg biggest shopping center sprawl I have ever seen in my life. Ate at the vegan Jamaican place today and then ogled at the cute beardo(s) at Edge of the Woods. Tomorrow is art museums, GPSY, and maybe Bar!

is it wednesday? (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:13 (thirteen years ago) link

I probably take the shopping Mecca of Universal Drive for granted, but i'm not sure what makes it different from any other commercial strip-mall hellsprawl. i would never put it on a visitor's agenda. Haha. If i may ask, where are you coming from? Sounds like you're enjoying the sites and the sights during your stay. And, yay! You made it to Elaine's! :-D

hey hal do you know what the name of that cool liquor shop is, that's on the route to east rock?

dayo, Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:40 (thirteen years ago) link

always thought i should have at least applied to yale, i think i might've liked it

kanellos (gbx), Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:42 (thirteen years ago) link

sorry gbx yale's for cool kids only

dayo, Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:45 (thirteen years ago) link

j/k nobody's actually cool at yale ;_;

dayo, Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:46 (thirteen years ago) link

Gimme more, dayo. The Wine Thief? coolest wine and spirits shop we've got, by far. unless you're referring to the Bottle Shop (?) on Orange St.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:48 (thirteen years ago) link

google street view reminds me that it's the wine thief. yuh!

dayo, Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:52 (thirteen years ago) link

That's a good one, yep. Won't buy my Oloroso sherry anywhere else.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Thursday, 16 December 2010 01:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Coming from Philly/NJ area. We didn't go there to see the stores. We just had to run a few errands but daaayyyummm it is fucking enormous.

is it wednesday? (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 16 December 2010 02:16 (thirteen years ago) link

That's cool. I can't judge. I'd be lost w/o the Rave megaplex out there, and my partner practically lives at BJ's.

Dear Bulldog Burrito, my hangover was made for you; I feel like a greater person now.

what day is it today? (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 16 December 2010 18:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Truth.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Thursday, 16 December 2010 19:19 (thirteen years ago) link

always thought bulldog burrito was a bit rubbish, but yeah I bet it's great hangover food

dayo, Friday, 17 December 2010 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link

I mean, it's the local Chipotle and I fucking love Chipotle

what day is it today? (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 17 December 2010 00:55 (thirteen years ago) link

I always liked that they have like 10 different tabasco flavors

seven months pass...

there are so, so many law offices in victorian houses in this city

how can a small town even have so many lawyers? is it just yale students suing each other

my girlfriend started her medical residency at yale last week, so i'm visiting a lot while i can. i'm looking into doing one of rotations there later this year too

k3vin k., Sunday, 25 June 2017 17:18 (six years ago) link

if you see me out walking around, it's because I'm in New Haven through tomorrow night

went there recently and had a good time. maria's sister graduated from YDS and we hung out all day at the div school and acted like we owned the place. then we ate our weight at frank pepe and went home! the perfect new haven experience.

scott seward, Sunday, 25 June 2017 18:31 (six years ago) link

still can't believe there isn't a record store in new haven. r.i.p. rhymes and cutlers. all those rich kids and nobody to sell them overpriced fleetwood mac albums. sad!
