Holiday gift ideas in New Haven?

<p>Hi all. DS is a first year grad student and I know n-o-t-h-i-n-g about New Haven. Are there any restaurants, bakeries or shops from which he might appreciate a gift card? TIA.</p>

<p>Check out the restaurants on Yale Law school’s website: [Dining</a> | Yale Law School](<a href=“http://www.law.yale.edu/about/dining.htm]Dining”>http://www.law.yale.edu/about/dining.htm)
If you cannot find something to your student’s liking, there’s always: [Apple</a> Retail Store - New Haven](<a href=“http://www.apple.com/retail/newhaven/]Apple”>New Haven - Apple Store - Apple)</p>

<p>Someone posted this info about cake deliveries.
The cake gets delivered directly to residential colleges and they might deliver to apartments? </p>

<p>There are tons of nice restaurants in NH, so it’s a bit hard to answer specifically without knowing what your son likes. Thali-two might be a good choice for a grad student. My daughter likes the Atticus bookstore cafe for bakery stuff. There are also a couple of fro-yo places around (don’t know their names).</p>

<p>You couldn’t go wrong with this: [Modern</a> Apizza - New Haven - Gift Certificates](<a href=“http://www.modernapizza.com/certif.html]Modern”>http://www.modernapizza.com/certif.html)</p>

<p>As good, if not better than Sally’s and Pepe’s.</p>

<p>Aside from apizza, and some would say, Yale, New Haven is also a hotbed of this:</p>

<p>Great suggestions! Thanks, everyone.</p>

<p>Insomnia cookies also has gift certificates.</p>

<p>Shake Shack just opened. Kumo’s has great sushi, C.O. Jones on State St/Edwards St has GREAT marguarita’s, fish tacos, enchilada’s. The Trailblazer store on Elm/Broadway(across from Apple), Bella’s is on Whalley Ave(about 3 miles up from campus in Westville Village) is an amazing place for weekend breakfast/brunch. Not sure if he is a rock climber, but there is a cool place called Prime Climb. Its an indoor rocking climbing spot in North Haven I think. So if he has a car, it should be easy for him to get to.</p>
