This summer, there is one name on everyone\u2019s lips \u2013 Barbie. Whether you\u2019re hunting down vintage dolls at <\/span>EBM Vintage<\/span><\/a> or preselecting front-row seats at downtown\u2019s <\/span>Bow Tie Cinemas<\/span><\/a>, the summer has been Barbie-fied. So, what would Barbie do in New Haven? Would she laze on the Green or hit the beach at <\/span>Lighthouse Point<\/span><\/a>? It\u2019s impossible to choose. As we know all too well, there is no singular Barbie. There\u2019s Doctor Barbie, Corporate Princess Barbie, Rollergirl Barbie, and beyond. Here\u2019s what Barbie, in any form, would do in New Haven.<\/span><\/p>\n

Academia Barbie<\/h3>\n

What would Academia Barbie do in New Haven? Enroll, of course. Follow in her plastic-clad footsteps along a <\/span>Yale Visitors Center Tour<\/span><\/a>. Operating on a reservation basis, Yale Students guide interested visitors through the historic campus, sharing the unique stories and architecture that have made the halls of the University so hallowed. While on tour, Academia Barbie can brush up on a book from the corners of Yale\u2019s most extensive library, the Gothic Sterling Memorial Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bruncharound Barbie<\/h3>\n

Barbie is like us \u2014 she puts her tiny velcro pants on one leg at a time and enjoys a good brunch. For the doll of the summer,<\/span> brunch<\/span><\/a> will be Barbie-fied. Barbie Mary\u2019s, Barbellini\u2019s, Bar-berry Waffles, and beyond. All the while, her waistline won\u2019t grow an inch. Maybe she\u2019s born with it, perhaps it’s Mattel. If you\u2019d like to spend a Saturday like Bruncharound Barbie, make a reservation at any of our favorite spots from Atelier Florian, to Harvest Wine Bar, Heirloom, to Olives and Oil, Olmo, to South Bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Girl\u2019s Night Barbie<\/h3>\n

Notice we haven\u2019t mentioned Ken? This trip is for girls only, and she\u2019s arrived here to mingle. These dolls want to join the <\/span>New Haven night life<\/span><\/a> scene for a cocktail at a rooftop bar – be it Elm City Social or High George. There, they\u2019ll find craft cocktails shaken cold by expert mixologists, and maybe leave with an invite to the city\u2019s wildly popular New Haven Cocktail Week. Note: Barbie <\/span>will <\/span><\/i>be ID-ed at the door, and by ID we do <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>mean price tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fashionista Barbie<\/h3>\n

We hope Barbie brought her wallet. It\u2019s time to refresh her (highly flammable) wardrobe with some fresh items from<\/span> downtown New Haven\u2019s distinct shopping districts<\/span><\/a>. We\u2019ll drop Barbie off on Chapel Street as she traces her way through the most unique boutiques and popular retailers in New England, crossing over to Broadway, and making her way to the Whitney-Audubon Retail and Arts District for some vintage threads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fitness Barbie<\/h3>\n

Barbie takes no days off. While in New Haven, Fitness Barbie can explore <\/span>recreational options <\/span><\/a>like take top bike at Wheelhouse Cycling Studio, a premiere indoor spin destination in the heart of the city. If she prefers to spin in the outdoors, Fitness Barbie is lucky enough to have found herself in one of New England\u2019s most bikeable cities. If you see her, leave her be, she\u2019s training for the New Haven Road Race or playing Pickle Ball in Edgewood Park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Food Blogger Barbie<\/h3>\n

Like any self respecting foodie, Food Blogger Barbie would be found nowhere else but a city whose<\/span> food is historic<\/span><\/a>. Here in New Haven, that\u2019s pizza \u2013 or should we say, Apizza. Since 1925, our city has been serving up the best pies in the country. That\u2019s 34 more years than Barbie herself. If she\u2019s looking for a white clam pie, we\u2019ll send her to Pepe\u2019s. If she\u2019s feeling adventurous, we\u2019ll get her a table at BAR and a mashed potato, bacon, and garlic white pie. If she\u2019s still hungry, she\u2019ll visit Modern Apizza and Sally\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
