The Yale Hospitality Experience

Architects of Memories

The idea of breaking bread together has always been — and continues to be — an essential element of the Yale University experience. The entire Yale community unites throughout our locations to share meals, exchange ideas and create lasting memories — one of the many reasons our Hospitality team likes to think of ourselves as “architects of memories.”

Gathering around a table in our residential dining halls is a long-standing tradition at the heart of a college experience that creates a home-away-from-home for students. Our restaurants and cafes serve as gathering places for the entire Yale community. Today’s students can look back on many generations of others who shared stories, aspirations and experiences over daily meals in the same iconic spaces.
