Hi! My fiancé and I will be in Hew Haven the next couple days and are looking for fun things to do downtown. We'll be staying right off Broadway. It looks like it'll be raining most of the time, so we're looking for indoor activities. So far I have Barcade, Elm City Games, and Grey Matter. We've already been to all the big pizza places, but other restaurant recommendations would be appreciated too. Thanks!

Yep, + British Gallery

Cool store = StrangeWays (very close to your Barcade plan); also cheap delicious lunch at Tacos Los Gordos, on the same block. Browsing museum/gallery stuff = Father McGivney Ctr for Christmas displays; and Ely Center of Art but it seems only open Sunday this wk; and if NXTHVN is still having their exhibits.

East Rock Market for food, Escape New Haven for an Escape Room, Ikea for some aimless wondering (I know I'm in the minority on people that probably enjoy this), IT at Jordan's if you're into ropes courses/etc. (also another great place to aimlessly wonder), Barracuda for Happy Hour, Trevor Wallace at College Street Music Hall Friday Night and Andrew Callahan on Saturday Night for comedy, Trinity for World Cup Matches, and Walker Ice Rink.

True for Walker Ice Rink which is easiest to find under “Skate New Haven”

Skate New Haven posts their schedule on FB and Instagram. Look for Open Skate times. They have skate rentals available

Some of the best sushi on the east coast is in that market

If you want to do some drinking but also save some money, go to Blue Orchid for their late night happy hour from 10-12. They have a large selection and everyone is friendly.

The show at Yale Rep right now is really good. See if Yale Cabaret has anything going on too.

Saturday night DJ Christie spins up some awesome music at Geronimo. Great south western US vibe.

Bella’s Cafe is a must!!!! Best brunch spot I’ve ever been too! Also honorable breakfast mention: Fussy Coffee! Million Asian Market is also a really cool store to check out!

Right around Yale walking in front of moving cars, whilst looking at your phone seems very popular, rain or shine!
