You can also find a wide array of other pastries, international cuisines, and local treats.
When visiting Yale University, it's advisable to wear comfortable walking shoes as exploring the campus often involves a fair amount of walking. If you plan to take a guided tour, it's beneficial to check the university's visitor information for specific start times and any booking requirements. The campus is generally accessible, but noting any specific accessibility needs in advance can be helpful.
