Our studio is at the core of some pretty cool (and just plain old convenient) stuff in downtown New Haven.

The two blocks surrounding Sarah Aldrich Pilates are chock-full of fantastic small businesses, restaurants, cafes, and…drumroll…the soon to be grocery store in the bottom of 360 State.

Do you have a hankering for a good cup of coffee? Check out Woodland Cafe. There’s also Bru cafe.

In need of a cocktail? 116 Crown serves a mean mojito (we recommend waiting until after class for this option).

Are your toenails looking tired? Check out Fashion Nails on Elm St for a cheap/fab pedicure. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=fashion+nail+elm+st&fb=1&gl=us&hq=fashion+nail+elm+st&hnear=New+Haven,+CT&cid=8685328606600442443

Here’s a sample dream day for the ladies:

2. Grab some cash at the ATM (Citizens, Sovereign, Bank of America–they are all within one block)
3. Get your coffee fix at Woodland.
3. Get a pedicure at Fashion Nails.
3. While your nails dry, browse beautiful antiques at the English Building Market downstairs.
