As u/IMNOT_A_LAWYER mentioned, I'd look into Ordinary Bar over High George for drinks.

This

Since you're heading to Wooster Square for Pepe's or Sally's may I suggest a quick walk to the end of Wooster for some fantastic Italian pastry and coffee at Libby's. The Italian Ice there is also really good.

Hah - there will never be peace or accord on this question but I 10000% agree with you that you can pretty much walk in to Modern without any of the hoopla, bullshit, or waiting that you deal with at Sally’s and Pepe’s

Yale people are mostly wack

Modern is ALWAYS my first choice and it's the easiest of the big 3 in my opinion.

There are so many Facebook groups dedicated to this type of stuff. I found a few short rentals on FB

Thanks, Emu. That would have been embarrassing!

For what it's worth, I did google it first and saw the term used in some Yale publications.

have fun FWIW its new haveners" Also sallys is great but if not trust us Modern gets it done for the NHV experience.

I would check out the Yale Off Campus Housing and sublets Facebook page. A decent number of people post their sublets there. Within the next month or so is a good time to look.

That program might help after she has been stable for awhile, but one of the requirements is having the ability to maintain permanent housing - which means a steady job. Another good purpose for spending time in a sober house - to get stable.

2x2 meaning two bed two bath? I know tons of people subletting over the summer for around or below 1k, but all will have roommates and shared bathrooms.

I get how you’re feeling but please don’t feel any shame around it. I just went back to school at 27 and while I didn’t go to Yale, I always went to Sterling library to study. There’s a big mix of people in there, but it’s easy to find a quiet little spot to study or read.

If you just get her a apartment like she wants you might as well plan on her going right back to her old ways and having to start all over again. Let her goto a sober house and work at getting into a apartment so she appreciates it and doesn’t fall as soon as she gets out

Thank you, New Haveners!

Based on the input here:

I'm switching it up for Pepes/Sallys. I only chose Modern because it was a little closer and opinions are so split.

I'm adding Beinecke - which looks incredible

Trying to find a way to fit in BAR and/or Cafe Nine.

Going with Union League simply to move past the abundance of choice and for the fireplace (something my wife loves). We'll be back in warmer weather for ZINC and Olea, I have a feeling.

And finally going with Pantry at opening (8am), before we head back.

Really excited and appreciate all the great feedback!

Edit: New Haveners

For a night cap, I'd suggest Ordinary (be sure to make a reservation) or Owl Shop (it's a cigar lounge so only go if you're okay with smoke). And Bella's for brunch (better than The Pantry IMO).

Facts.

I doubt that any are advertised by landlords for short term as you suggest. Some students will sublet for the summer but more often than not it is when they are leaving in June and the leases mostly run August 1 to July 31 so the next lease is for 15 months. Even if available, I don't think you will find anything at that price point.

Modern is great for pizza but agree with others who mentioned that going to either Sally’s or Pepe’s in Wooster Street will be much more of an actual experience.

I went to Gateway about 15 years ago and had the same feelings. I loved Koffee, and now I like Fussy Coffee, Gather East, and Bloom. And the library. Keep going. 15 years later and 6 more years of school and I’ve made it to the other side, the “professional side.” I couldn’t have done it without taking Gateway seriously. It was a great school.

People from all walks of life go to Yale. I went to Southern and never felt out of place in downtown New Haven. I wish I had done my first two years at a Community College. You're not encroaching on anyone's space. If you don't need to scan a card to get into a place you can go there.

It's been a while, I have no idea about places in the area anymore. Sorry.

The library, Haven Kitchen on Temple St across from the movies, the deli on Orange St across from Elm City Games

Pantry on State is the way to go! But it’s small so get there early or be prepared to wait
