In need of some retail therapy? Step right up! The shopping list never ends in New Haven, where 78% of businesses are independently owned or operated and year-round deals abound.
The historic Chapel Street boutiques are a great first stop for shoppers looking for high-end shops like idiom, Derek Simpson Goldsmith, and Raggs for Men & Women, as well as national retailers like LL.Bean. Fashion is easy to find over on Broadway, where big stores like Urban Outfitters mingle with smaller regional retailers on Elm Street like Del Monico Hatter. Ninth Square nooks like English Building Market and vintage clothing favorite Civvies should not be overlooked.
