This little shop on Broadway feels so out of place in New Haven...a collection of chic, color-sorted jewelry that is oh so trendy, with scarves and purses to match. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun, and though some of the designs rival the cheap teen stores in the malls (like Claire's), there are great pieces to be found to liven up any woman's wardrobe. Mixed in with the feathers and painted tin are potato pearls set in silver with citrine and beautifully embroidered silk scarves, and a host of "in between" items that could either be worn out on the town or spark just the tiniest bit of controversy if worn to the office. It makes me smile to go in, even if I don't find anything worthwhile - sort of like Sephora stores, it's nice to look at pretty things in a pretty setting.

American Diamond Exchange remade my ring for me and it is gorgeous! My husband took my engagement ring out from under my nose and had it reset with two diamond begets on either side. I was so surprised. I t came back to me so gorgeous, and my husband was treated so well. This will be our diamond store for life!

Arethusa Bookstore on Audubon, Specializes in out-of-print and used books, as well as first and early editions. Has great sections on religion and philosophy, languages, and history.
High quality books, a frequent favorite of Yalies and Yale alumni, I love browsing never knowing what treasure you may find here.

I dream about their berry bread pudding. I prefer it chilled (not nuked) with berry sauce on the side. The black bean soup is filling and flavorful. Atticus panini is FABULOUS a thick slice of Vermont ham. The bread basket is fun with various types of artisan bread from Chiabata and assortment of jam and jelly. Croissant is delish. Coffee may be super good or not as good (but always better than marginal). The place has wireless connection. I'll take Atticus over going to the big bad national coffee shop chain across the street any day!
Pros: dessert selection
Cons: unpredictable quality of coffee

I am writing this nearly purely for the cafe. With it's in-bookstore seating, coffee (yum) and offerings of splenda and fat-free half-and-half (lower cal faves), this is a great place to either take a break from work with a magazine and drink, or to hole up to write a paper.
But as far as the bookstore goes, it loses when it comes to the "Yale" part. It seems that the addition of any insignia causes the price to increase 3-fold. So, stay for the chillness factor, but don't furnish your apartment with its offerings.

Well, sort of no late fees. After a month, pay up. I guess Blockbuster is being sued over that. Doesn't matter. Return your video on time, fool! It's the decent thing to do. The selection is big; not the biggest, of course, since they don't carry most indy films, obviously. And they'll buy your used popular DVDs, if they need them.

This bookstore in downtown New Haven makes its business by serving the Yale community. It is one of the favorite spots among professors from the University to copy and distribute course materials, as well as to order required books. The bookstore provides this service very well, and the course packets are always ready on time. However, it does not go far beyond that and most of the books that can be found in there are books that have been, or are likely to be, used for different classes at the University. The decor is equally utilitarian and offers little to soothe the senses.
