Check if the museums are open. There are two art museums, The Yale Art Gallery and The Yale Center for British Art. Both definitely worth a visit. Beinecke Library and the area around it (on Yale campus) is nice. There’s an interesting cemetery off Yale campus (Grove Street Cemetery) that’s nice for a quick stroll (closes at 4). Edgerton Park is really pretty, has a few small greenhouses that are open to the public, great place for a walk. The East Rock neighborhood is very walkable, has a new food hall and a brewery, lots of cafes, beautiful Victorian architecture. Home of Modern Apizza, one of the best pizza places in town. I think the drive up to the view from East Rock Park is closed but hiking trails are open if you want to take a short uphill hike. Wooster Square Park is near some of the pizza places, it’s a small square surrounded by beautiful 19th century homes. Some interesting shops downtown and over in Westville, which is a cute neighborhood about 10 min drive from downtown. A few independent bookstores, Strangeways, vintage clothing and housewares, art supplies, records.

Great recos. Atticus Market in East Rock has incredible breakfast sandwiches and other grab and go food. Munchies makes phenomenal subs.
