Come on, Powers That Be: New Haven ain't so small that you gotta have only one CD store in the whole town. Sheesh. Yale University is here, for crying out loud. Cutlers has knowledgeable staff, a decent selection, and a number of broken-down listening stations. You can't pre-listen to anything, including the used stuff. They have DVDs, records, tapes, and a nice classical music selection too. You can get a stamp card that lets you buy ten and get one free. That sounds nice but overall the place is a rip-off. I'm sorry; I'm just used to the robust underground music scene of my hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I smoke. I love Book Trader for its huge outdoor seating. Big tree for shade. Inside, the used bookstore has a decent selection. They buy books all the time, so go there and sell what you don't want. They don't take junk though. The coffee shop is staffed by sassy twentysomethings. The coffee is kinda sucky, but if you're like me, you just want something brown and caffeinated.

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;...
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.

Yeah, I'm biased. This place is trying to compete with Starbucks, Panini, and Subway, all at once. Imagine all three together and you've got what Cosi is going for. They have good coffee, amazing bread (extremely high in cholesterol), and some really delicious sandwiches. The decor used to be hip five years ago. The service is actually not bad, considering the workaholic, bean-counting management. Oh, and they changed their name to Cosi - that's a bad PR move, in my opinion. What's wrong with "Xando"?

Everything Irish. Jewelry, handmade ceramic dinnerware, wedding candles, great woven clothing (the average jacket costs about $300; a scarf $100). The tea bar at the back is cute - they've got some nice Irish fare, like fish, but no vegetarian.

Sage is in City Point neighborhood, at the south end of Howard Avenue. Howard can be called Murder Street in the summer time, so go to sage by car. Once you're in this beautiful neighborhood away from the B.S., you'll see the harbor. You'll eat your ginormous $10 burger with your homemade fries and glass of house red and look out the panoramic window at New Haven Harbor. My fiancee and I witnessed a raging lightning storm from our table, all warm and cozy. Then a jazz trio kicked in downstairs.

You'll work like a dog, and the results will show. You'll learn how to draw and paint towards classical realism. The instructors obviously enjoy what they do, and they are all confirmed superheroes of their trade. The New York Academy could be considered its sister school, since they share so many staff members and other overlapping aspects. It's about 16 grand a year, 200 students, and they won't accept just any artist wannabe to fill out their student body. If you want technique, this is your school.

Paier is run by shrewd businesspeople. They underpay the art instructors and figurative models. You'll pay about eleven grand a year in tuition, which is about what it's worth. Passion and commitment are in short supply. The building itself is a remnant of Brutalism: utterly depressing, cold in the winter, hot in the autumn and spring.

Also known as The Musicians' Living Room, Cafe 9 only gets three stars, because it's cramped most of the time, and there's a big post four feet in front of center stage. This equals no dance floor....
Also known as The Musicians' Living Room, Cafe 9 only gets three stars, because it's cramped most of the time, and there's a big post four feet in front of center stage. This equals no dance floor. But if you're a music freak - someone who just can't get enough local music, no matter what brand or style that music is - then get over to Cafe 9, any night of the week. The drinks are cheap too.

This theater is badly attended. It only shows artsy flicks, which is perfect for me, but half the fun of going to a theater is all the other people laughing or screaming or crying or sighing or saying, "This movie sucks." The reason it's badly attended is because all the popular movies are shown in the suburbs. This is unacceptable.
