Movies in the Plaza Is Back for the Summer! May 03 2022

One of the cool things about moving Strange Ways to downtown New Haven? In the warmer months the Downtown Town Green District organizes movie nights every Wednesday. These events take place in Pitkin Plaza—which is directly outside our storefront. It kicks off THIS WEEK with Mean Girls!

Each movie night Strange Ways will be open later until 9PM too! So come on browse before you set up your chair and get settled in. How grool!

Starting May 14 we will be hosting an artist/maker table EVERY SATURDAY at the Strange Ways Studio—just the other side of our storefront in New Haven, CT. This gives us a chance to allow local creatives to share and sell their work, and hopefully foster better community, opportunities, and good vibes. Apply today for consideration—just be serious and ready!


Be on the lookout for more events in the studio at Strange Ways soon.


Now Offering In-Store Pickup December 05 2019

Seeing as our New Haven, CT storefront also acts as our shop HQs many people have asked if they can order online and pickup instore. For various reasons this would prove to be too complicated before—but we figured it out! One can now purchase items online and then choose the “In-Store Pickup” option at checkout. We'll then pack up your order, and have it waiting for you the next day. 

Perks of In-Store Pickup:

• No shipping charges
• No waiting for shipments to be delivered
• Easy product browsing online
• Avoid potential package theft
• Feel like a baller rolling up with your order ready


However, we're dubbing this a “Locals Only” option. In order for your to even view this option during checkout, you must have a Connecticut address. (Another perk of living close to us :: wink wink ::)

In-store pickup orders are packed and ready for you by 11AM the next day. You will receive an email notification when your order is ready (incase we happen to get to it the same day). Please come in with your Name and Order number, and notify the Sales Associate that you're collecting your order. We will hold your items for 7 days, after which we will cancel your order and refund you. (This may not be the best option if you're forgetful!)

We hope options like this makes shopping at Strange Ways even easier and better for you. Stack on things like our new Rewards Points system, and we hope to see you coming back again and again—whether that's in-store or online!
