On a sunny September day, YC&E’s Community of Learners for Event Professionals (COL) orchestrated a delightful New Haven Restaurant Tour. With approximately 50 enthusiastic Yale event professionals in attendance, the tour proved to be a resounding success, offering a unique opportunity to explore off-campus event spaces while supporting local businesses.
Seven prominent eateries opened their doors for the event: Heirloom, Atelier Florian, Union League Cafe, The Luke, BAR, 80 Proof Kitchen, and Barcelona. Each venue not only presented their event spaces but also treated attendees to a tempting array of samples, showcasing the diverse flavors of New Haven’s culinary landscape.
Managed by Yale Conferences & Events, the COL initiative is dedicated to bringing together event planners from across the university to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and pool resources. Acting as the central hub for Yale event resources, COL continually explores innovative ways to foster connections and create memorable experiences for the university community.
This tour not only unveiled New Haven’s culinary treasures and unique event spaces, but also exemplified COL’s commitment to community and local business support. With events like this, COL continues to elevate Yale’s event planning landscape.
