Visit Elm City Games, they’re a New Haven staple that doesn’t get nearly as much love as it deserves (and it’s beloved!)

Hang out at Armada Brewing or Cafe Nine. Check out an exhibition at NXTHVN, Artspace, or Ely Center of Art, see local music at cozy Neverending Books or at the State House. Grand prize if you do the Rock to Rock ride, or do a Taste of New Haven food tour (expensive). Also check Daily Nutmeg on Monday mornings.

Get a drink at the top of the Omni hotel (John Davenport’s). The view is nicer during the day.

Pop into the Yale Art museum and chill out for a bit in the courtyard at ground level. One of my favorite spots to relax because you feel like you’re in a quiet little fortress.

While we are sticking with Yale things, pop into the Rare Book & Manuscript library.

Go to Trinity in the morning to watch a soccer game and drink. I am not a Liverpool fan but they have the strongest following in the city and it makes for a neat spectacle as a neutral.

Edit: adding a weird one, get a panini and a coffee from owl shop in the afternoon. The place is usually dead at this time, so you don’t have to deal with smoke if that’s not your thing, and they seriously make a great sandwich/coffee. It’s a really unique space and worth considering for your staycation checklist.

I’ve done this one. OP be forewarned this is super small, it’s essentially just a room, but they let you wander around the med school for a bit. When I went, around the time of the new semester, they had the library jazzed up to look like a Hogwart’s sorting hat ceremony.

Reply to Ron DeSantis calls Yale degree 'scarlett letter' in GOP politics by boujeeFett

I had no idea how many "lefty" conservative judges and Bush family members there were. Wait till nobody goes to FL colleges and comes here instead for their education.

That list includes:

Kavanaugh

Thomas

Alito

Cheney

Ben Carson (Trump admin)

Steven Mnuchen (Trump admin)

John Bolton (Trump admin)

Christopher Wray (Trump admin)

All the Bush's, even Barbara

And..AND

Ron DeSantis, Bachelor of Fine arts 2001. Sounds like someone enjoyed their liberal education
