Travel
By car:
Ceremony: Battell Chapel at Yale University
4 p.m. Saturday, July 2, 2005
If you are driving, bear in mind that traffic on the interstates, especially I-95, is extraordinarily slow on a holiday Saturday in the summer.
From Interstate 95: At New Haven, take I-91 North towards Hartford/Springfield (from the South this will be a left-lane exit). From I-91, take Exit 3 (Trumbull Street) and follow directions below for I-91.
From Interstate 91: Take Exit 3 (Trumbull Street). Stay in middle lane and continue straight onto Trumbull Street to fourth traffic light. Trumbull dead ends here. Turn left onto Prospect Street and continue for one block. Prospect Street becomes College Street. Continue straight ahead for two blocks.
Battell Chapel is on the far right of College and Elm Streets. On-street parking is available as posted and off-street parking is available in downtown garages and Yale parking lots.
Reception: The New Haven Lawn Club, 193 Whitney Avenue, New Haven
Immediately following the ceremony
From Battell Chapel, drive north on College to Sachem Street; turn right, go two blocks to the end. Turn left onto Whitney Avenue. The club is set back from the road, on the far or east side of Whitney. You will see a small sign and a driveway. Ample parking is available here.
If you are walking, walk north on College to Elm, turn right on Grove and then left onto Hillhouse. Go up two long blocks to Sachem, turn right onto Sachem, and go to the end at Whitney. You will see the entrance to the club across Whitney Avenue.
By train:
All Amtrak and Metro North New Haven Line trains stop in New Haven. New Haven's Union Station is a 5 minute drive to downtown hotels and Battell Chapel. There are always plenty of taxi cabs at the station.
By airplane:
While New Haven has an airport (located 15-20 minutes from downtown), it is very small and does not serve many cities. It is probably not worth your while to try to fly into it. Bradley International Airport just north of Hartford is a 50 minute drive from New Haven. La Guardia and JFK airports in New York are less than 1.5 hours away. Connecticut Limosine provides transportation to these airports.
