Yale students munched on crepes at the end of the first day of classes, as a new crepe kiosk on Broadway Avenue celebrated its grand opening.
New Haven resident and French native Adil Chokairy opened his third eatery — Crêpes Choupette, a French creperie that already has a location on Whitney Avenue — on Tuesday afternoon, offering free sweet crepes and beverages to students, his target audience for the new business.
“I started with a tricycle food cart, and it gained a lot of popularity,” Chokairy said. “This is more representing Crêpes Choupette in another segment of New Haven … a population I have missed.”
