The Yale Shuttle buses are free to all riders, and no ID is necessary. Ride your bike to a Yale bus stop (or just ride on your own time) and take the free 24hr shuttle to the hospital.

Bread & Chocolate make easily the best baguette in the area. They are in Hamden, but they destribute bread in quite a few markets nearby.

i prefer the cinnamon babka, but the chocolate is also great.
Olmo bagels are also fantastic, but bagels just don't seem worthy enough to bring from ct to DC.
I also second sugar bakery. as mentioned in another comment.

If you are a YNHH affiliate, you can use the hospital VA shuttle-it runs regularly from ynhh(med campus/york st) to the VA

it's definitely possible! i bike through downtown and the hill pretty regularly and often cross the blvd into west haven using rte 1 -- these are among the busiest roads in the area, but i have never had an issue using them. you can also ride through westville and take marginal drive into west haven to avoid rte 1 -- that might be the safest and easiest bike route available. i would definitely avoid riding on the boulevard itself.
that being said, there are alternatives available to biking -- you can take the bus from downtown or even the ride metro north to west haven station and bike from there.

Thanks. That's what I've done previously but I don't have any type of network in New Haven.

Coffee Pedaler 100%. They specialize in mostly light roast coffees, but will have a few medium roasts as well. Usually have Tandem in stock and if you're lucky, La Cabra. The La Cabra is outrageously good.

I second this! Their delivery was the highlight of lockdown. They also have gift boxes.

Almost all boarding places require some sort of test run or initial visit, so if your dog has issues being around others or in that environment, you're better off finding a friend or family relative to watch your doggo.

Possible but unlikely to find a 1 bedroom at 1100/month. If you do find one, check for red flags. Going rate for 1 bedroom is 1500 or so.

It is reasonable to bike in NHV to/from downtown. Usual reminders apply - the majority of drivers are not bike friendly or aware. You will be on the defense. NHV has done a great job with bike lines, including counterflow bike lanes.
BIking to the WH VA is certainly doable but far less bike friendly from downtown NHV. Not many arteries between WH and NHV that aren't choked with cars. Most have very little shoulder and zero bike lanes en route.

The Blvd also has had plenty of pedestrian strikes too.

It's bike-able (in weather that sane people would ride bikes in), but the roads aren't what I would call "bike friendly". There aren't consistent bike lanes, and some blind corners and narrow spots where you're gonna get pretty close to traffic. Biking part of the way to a bus stop and then taking the bus that goes straight to the Building 2 entrance will be your best bet.
