PRINCETON: From May through November, the Princeton Farmers' Market takes place every Thursday…read morefrom 10am-3pm and leashed and friendly dogs are allowed! The last market is on November 21st for 2024. We visited on Halloween for their special Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest and it was so much fun! Cute pups took the stage and everyone was a winner! The live band emceeing was great and very funny introducing all the pups and the crowd was lively cheering them on. The market is located in Hinds Plaza right in the middle of downtown Princeton and is a beautiful spot to browse all the vendors selling a wide variety of goods including these we said hello: Khloe's Paw Pastries - homemade dog treats with human grade ingredients! Freshly baked and so soft! Catalina Empanadas - homemade empanadas and the sweetest owners! Dogs love them too!

So many fresh baked loaves to choose from! Small World Coffee - they specialize in coffee, hot and cold caffeinated beverages, pastries and more with 2 locations in Princeton. Nutty Novelties - gourmet and flavored nut butters! They make cute gift bundles! And so many more...

This is a small but sweet market that is open on Thursdays right next to the Princeton public…read morelibrary. Parking is not easy, even if you are using a garage. I came for one item, and I found it at the stall for Fruitwood orchards( peas!) there are about 3 other good local farms here too. Prices on the same items vary from farm to farm so it's best to walk through once before you make your selections. There are a few bakeries represented, and usually a few dairies. You can also find local pickles, honey, jams and salsas, soap, and even some snack items. Tip; if you park in the garage by library you have half an hour for free. Good luck with that though....

This is the best place to get a sandwich on this side of New Jersey! They have imported ingredients…read moreand make their roast beef and fresh mozzarella in house, bake the bread, and their menu has something for everyone. What i love most is the service - everyone is Italian and they speak Italian to during breaks - very polite, friendly, fast, and they know how to build a sandwich. This place is worth 100 stars - must try for anyone looking for real Italian food for now or to heat up for dinner.

Very impressed with my first visit to D'Angelo's! I was in town for the Princeton graduation…read morefestivities, and we stopped here for lunch following the ceremonies. D'Angelo Italian Market is located a few blocks away from the Princeton campus. It is a corner store with some street parking around, along with a parking garage right across the street. I have been told parking is strictly enforced by the city around here, so make sure to pay for street parking when you go. The inside is that of an Italian deli and market, but more. There is seating inside, and also some outdoor tables. There is not table service, but you order at the counter and then can enjoy your meal. We had a part of 7, and were able to push a few tables together inside to eat. They have a ton of deli options, but also have baked goods, breads, and pizza slices that you can buy from the counter. Additionally, there is a large menu of other food items that are made to order. There are also cooler drinks to choose from. The staff were all so friendly. It appears they know their frequent customers, and they greet them as they come in. Though I was a new customer, I felt welcomed and thought all of my questions were answered in a kind manner. We ordered several items, with one being the Eggplant Rollatini for an appetizer. This was so good, as I love eggplant in Italian dishes. It was filled with cheese, but still crispy and delicious even in all the sauce. We ordered more rolls than what is on the menu since we had several people. Additionally, we sampled several of the pizza slices - Margherita Pizza, Parmigiana Pizza, Vodka Sauce Pizza. I enjoyed each of them. The crust is thin and crispy, as you would expect from a place like this. They were all good, but the classic Margherita was probably my favorite. For my sandwich, I got the Turkey Supreme Hero. It was really good and had a ton of meat on it. I love a good turkey sandwich, and this was exactly that. After seeing what the sandwiches on the rolls looked like, I probably would have gotten that instead of the Hero. Nonetheless, it was still very good. Our table got some other items, like the Princeton Tiger Hero, Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries, and a Pepperoni Roll. No one had anything they did not enjoy. Did not get the chance to try either the desserts or any of the all day breakfast items. The next time I visit, I would definitely want to try some of those menu items! Like I said, I very much enjoyed my first visit to D'Angelo's. Everything was delightful, the staff were very friendly, and I enjoyed the atmosphere of the shop. I hope to visit again next time I am in the area. Would highly recommend stopping here!

This was a neat little house/museum that I hadn't heard of but was just randomly looking up things…read moreto do in the area and found it. It's right next to Princeton's campus and the Battle of Trenton Memorial. My husband is a big fan of all the Signers of the Declaration, and unlike a more restored house about the people who owned the house, it focuses on the Stockton family who lived here and the American Revolution and a special exhibit. We were actually here for a few hours since there's a lot of signs to read and a lot of Richard Stocktons who lived in the house, followed by some governors. When I went, there was also a really interesting exhibit on Ma Bell and the history of telecommunications upstairs. This was a great historical site, a cheap price, and a nice space. Would love to come back when the garden is in bloom, and I will look out for future exhibitions as they rotate in.

I was fortunate to be able to go when they were offering a cream tea which I can highly recommend…read more It was quite wonderful. The tour was interesting and ok but with limited things to see. There was information about some Stockton family members who lived there but would have liked to have more broad information. The house is quite beautiful and the garden is very nice. I did enjoy the visit but the cream tea was really the best.

The building itself is cool to see too. Art on Hulfish ( couldn't find on Yelp) a few blocks away also has an art exhibit + art activities. This location is a little bigger but still snack size!

I was really thrilled to see the "Tiny Pricks" art project /exhibition come to Princeton…read more Only to find out that it originated here. It's nice to see so many community based activities happening and how celebrated wholeheartedly in this gallery. I'm a big fan of the tiny pricks project. And the opening of this show had presentations and speakers by the staff. Their style is very admirable. They seem to really cherish the local people who took the time to read such lovely pieces for this project. The pillowcases had embroidery. And it really told a little story of the artist. Perhaps it's something they appreciated in there in their hometown, or maybe it's some thing that concerns them , like the war going on in Uzbekistan, or the changing seasons, or concern for recent loss of Woman's Rights in The States. And it's embroidered so that seems so wholesome and so feminine and time engaging so every piercing of the fabric is so personal. Nice venue. Nice folks.

Triumph brewery is unique if nothing else with a beautiful dining area upstairs in the refurbished…read morepost office and a dark sports bar downstairs.  We ate at the elegant upstairs restaurant.    Wife had a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon at $47.   I had the Seared Cod $36 and son went with the pesto Fusilli Calabresi $25. All of the dishes were excellent.  Also had a side of Fioretto Cauliflower $12 that was creative though not too plentiful.  Really appreciated that they list the farms where they source their ingredients.  The beers were superb, Hazy IPA, Bohemian Pilsner and Keller Pils.  The sports bar has a different menu with more of the types of dishes you'd expect at a brew pub. It is however dark and less inviting. In part that's the rub here. As much as we appreciated the quality of the food and gorgeous setting the fact that it is part of a brewery becomes somewhat irrelevant. We had beer because we were there but the dishes begged for wine. I'd have preferred a beautiful beer hall rather than the full fine dining experience. Just a bit too upscale for a brewery. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. .

Stopped in with some colleagues one afternoon, and it's a really fun spot. I realized when I…read morewalked in that I'd been there previously for a bachelor party, I think, and at that time I think we were on the top floor for a dinner which I recall being pretty great. This time, we were there to just hang out at the bar, so we went down to the basement, which is really nicely decorated! I opted for one of their brews, I think a dark lager, which tasted pretty good, though I didn't end up finishing it. I got to chat a bit with one of the bartenders, who was really cool and helped me out a bunch with some much needed water! I think his name was Herman. Pretty chill spot in my opinion, would come back for another outing with friends or colleagues.
