On Thursday night, free food-loving Yalies — and there are many of them — had to look only as far as The Shops at Yale for their evening treats.

The shops on Chapel Street and Broadway held their annual “College Night” on Thursday, an even that has taken place every year for more than a decade. Most shops that take part in the event — which allows local businesses to advertise their products and is open to all local university students — offer free food samples or merchandise.
