No one's mentioned Grove Street Cemetery, totally cool, spooky graveyard with the motto on the gate, "The Dead Shall Be Raised." Referring to the Grateful Dead, of course, depending on whom you ask. You may not be able to get into the cemetery anymore, but it's worth a climb over the wall!
Walk through Sterling Library. A Cathedral to books.
Mory's is actually a private eating club--even though it tastes like a diner. You probably wouldn't have much trouble getting someone to take you in though, but then they'd have to pay for you because Mory's doesn't take money. Everything goes on an account.

I'm posting this right now from Sterling Library, about to go find some of that famous NH pizza after a dizzying number of hours poring over old letters in loopy handwriting. This library truly is a cathedral to books (and manuscripts, which is why I'm here).
FAB? Anyone fancy a breakfast? Meet me at The Doodle at 8 a.m. (sharp!) tomorrow morning (Thursday)!

The walk there is kind of long, taking you across the West River, which looks rather nice in the dark, but the 80-year-old home of the New Haven County Cutters is a pretty great destination.

Yorkside--haven't been there in years, but hung out there lots of times back in the late 80s during my high school years. Food wise--like you said, it'll be adequate if you're hungry--but pizza-wise it's not in the same league as the 'heavies' previously mentioned (Pepe's, Moderne's, Sally's, etc.) Their fried mozz is pretty good, though...
Anybody here old enough to remember the really good ol' days of New Haven? The 'twin' department stores Malley's and Macy's? When the Chapel Square Mall was not only alive, but actually thriving with business? The depressing Demery's on the corner of Broadway (now there's an Au Bon Pain there--definitely a trade-up)? :)

There are two museums you should visit. It is important not to get them confused, as I did once when speaking with the curator of one who I thought was the curator of the other. The Yale Center for British Art is widely acclaimed. http://ycba.yale.edu/information/ The Yale University Art Gallery http://artgallery.yale.edu/ is I believe Edward Hermann took the lovely Rory on that infamous campus visit episode. I am seriously considering makign a trip back to NY so I can take the Metro North New Haven.
I know nothing about collegiate clubs, and neither, dear Gabbneb, should you.

A few years ago, I went there for the first time since I was a kid. Kind of disappointing, as when I was a kid it seemed like the Smithsonian, and when you go there as an adult, you see how piss-small the museum really is.
Still, the Dinosaur Mural kicks ass...

Sleeping Giant Park (named because it really DOES look like a sleeping giant--you can see it in the distance from the highway traveling north on I-91) is good for a hike:

Or you could see the Soldiers & Sailors Monument atop East Rock:

Wouldn't make it an all-day trip, of course. Of course, Hamden Plaza used to be a veritable treasure trove of "art" displays (read: conceptually wacky eyesores).

The next time I go, I'm going to look at the Yale collection of musical instruments.
According to this, Franny and Lane meet "at what must be Princeton."

I think all the small towns in Connecticut are really nice and all the "cities" really suck.

Which small towns (close to New Haven)?
