Driving:
FROM THE SOUTH/WEST:
Take I-95 N to exit 47, Downtown New Haven (left exit). Follow expressway
until it ends, emerging onto Frontage Road. Immediately cut right all the
way across Frontage Road to take a right onto York Street (before the Wallgreen’s).
Drive straight and take a left at the third light, Chapel Street. Cross Park
Street. The dojo is located on the right at the next corner, at the intersection
of Chapel and Howe Streets. After crossing Park Street, watch out for the
parking lot driveway (see below).
FROM THE NORTH:
Take I-91 S to exit 3, Trumbull Street. Continue straight through the light
on Trumbull Street until the next major intersection, where you take the first
available left onto Temple Street. Continue straight on Temple through two
lights until you reach the end of the New Haven Green. Turn right onto Chapel
Street. Continue through four lights. The dojo is located on the right at
the corner of the fifth light, at the intersection of Chapel and Howe Streets.
After crossing Park Street, watch out for the driveway to the parking lot
(see below).
FROM THE EAST:
Take I-95 S to exit 47, Downtown New Haven. Follow expressway until it ends,
emerging onto Frontage Road. Immediately cut right all the way across Frontage
Road to take a right onto York Street (before the Wallgreen’s). Drive
straight and take a left at the third light, Chapel Street. Cross Park Street.
The dojo is located on the right at the next corner, at the intersection of
Chapel and Howe Streets. After crossing Park Street, watch out for the parking
lot driveway (see below).
PARKING:
There is limited free parking behind our building. To use the lot, a few buildings
after the Park Street intersection turn right off of Chapel Street into the
narrow driveway that leads behind our building, a long brick building with
green awnings near the end of the block. The driveway is immediately after
the Three Chimneys Inn (a large reddish house) and runs adjacent to a brick
wall with a large “C.A. White” sign with a list of businesses,
including CT Aikikai. If you miss the turn, you’ll have to go around
the block again since all the streets are one-way. If the lot is full, there
is metered parking on Chapel and Howe Streets right next to the dojo, and
free street parking a little further up Chapel Street, further up Howe Street
on both sides, on Edgewood Avenue (the next right off of Howe Street), and
other neighborhood residential streets.
By Train:
Metro-North trains run at least every hour from Grand Central Station in Manhattan
to Union Station in New Haven (the end of the “New Haven line”).
Regular Amtrak, Acela Express, and bus lines also run to Union Station from
major cities in the North and South. Since the dojo is a good 30-40 minute
walk from the station, it is advisable to take a taxi (should be about $6)
or to call us in advance for a ride.
