I was strolling home last Monday through New Haven’s clubbing district. By district, of course, I mean Crown Street. Sweet, sweet Crown Street — that estranged and passive-aggressive marriage between Yale and New Haven.

Yale buildings that no one’s ever been inside are scattered between New Haven landmarks: Alchemy, Oracle, Bar and Gotham Citi. The LGBT Co-op sits nestled between Hula Hank’s with its “all new effen Fridays with $1 drinks,” and Partners with their “non-mainstream entertainment.”
