Marketfair Mall in Princeton feels like a small miracle of survival in the digital age, a place…read morethat is neither packed to the rafters nor echoingly abandoned like so many malls that have gone gently into that good night. It is comfortably alive, which is more than can be said for much of modern retail. The Barnes and Noble alone is reason enough to show up. It is a proper bookstore where you can wander, browse, and briefly pretend the internet isn't actively murdering print media. I also enjoy the little AMC theater, which is perfectly fine as long as you are seeing a movie that does not demand the thunder and spectacle of IMAX. Sometimes a modest screen, a bag of popcorn and a plush recliner are more than enough. The place is rarely crowded, which makes errands feel less like combat and more like a calm agreement between shoppers and time itself. That said, I am hoping something interesting eventually replaces the recently shuttered Bahama Breeze. The space feels like it wants to be fed a new idea. Time will tell whether that happens. Four stars for being pleasant, functional, and quietly resisting extinction. In this era, that feels like an accomplishment.

I used to go to this mall plenty of times in the past when I still lived in New Jersey. However, as…read morethe years have gone on the mall has degraded over time for most of the same reasons as to why many malls today are going out. The stores are all going out due to too much online shopping, as well as shoplifting, and of course the variety of stores shrinking over time. The mall used to have a much better variety of stores in the past from a toy store, a Wendy's, a Chick-fil A, and many other stores that are no longer a part of it. The mall today is almost completely barren and empty with little to no surviving stores left which is sad. Sure it has been modernized and renovated over the years to help give it a more modern feel, but it is only a matter of time before it is completely gone and torn down to make room for another warehouse. The only good thing about it now is the food court selection is slightly better than in the past and all the food places are all in the same vicinity not scattered like it used to be. But in the end, the stores now don't offer the same quality or value of products you would get in the past when there were much better stores to choose from.

You cannot drive on the road unless you play chicken with oncoming cars. You cannot walk out of the coffee shop or store without weaving between the vehicles because they're in front of the doors. No one enforces anything until someone gets hit. And I have seen a lot of near misses. The stores pay a lot to be there . And they get no safety for their patrons. IT iS RIDICULOUS. And I'm there often unfortunately.

Great restaurants and high-end window shopping abound in this rectangular upscale idyll that always seems to be packed with khakis. You can get everything from a flight of microbrews, sushi airlifted from Japan and a Rolex chaser along with a fairly rapid churn of retailers owing to the sky high rents. In the summer expect impromptu concerts while the winter brings the obligatory tree lighting and extended shopping hours. It's all very genteel and lovely and is what you would envision as a pristine Ivy League backdrop albeit one with a bit of a hard scrabble backstory. It seems way back in the 1930's Zinc Magnate Edgar Palmer was eager to transform the area from a working class shantytown of migrants (who labored in the homes of the town's prosperous) and simply bought up all of the land and replaced it with his gazebo laden daydream. Goodbye migrants. Through the years Ralph Kramden gave way to Ralph Lauren and Ham Hocks became Hermés while the factory row homes magically turned into multi-million dollar townhomes and condominiums. Palmer is good for a meal and a stroll but personally, I find the PU campus far more interesting with it's collegiate-gothic architecture and gardens that seemingly pop out of nowhere. If you're in Princeton you can't help but find yourself here. Enjoy it and be sure to hoist a microbrew to your new Rolex. Five stars.

I like the stores (Nordstrom/REI) but the layout of this mall must have been designed by a maniac…read more Parking is a Mad Max Death scrum as there are far fewer spots for the number of stores and restaurants available. Banks, supermarkets and car dealers, including the sainted Tesla and the obligatory Starbucks share a common lot and the result is Bedlam with a much higher than average incidence of fender benders (and worse.) I avoid the Mercer Mall like tainted meat, shop at your own risk. Two stars for the adrenaline rush.

It used to be low budget with the likes of TJ Maxx, Ross and Drug Emporium, but the new millennium saw infrastructure investment and a new wave of more upscale retail. Now, along with Maxx and Ross you find 47 stores from Bed Bath & Beyond, to REI, Massage Envy and Nordstrom Rack, and decent chain restaurants from Outback, Bonefish, Hooters and Olive Garden. AT&T and Verizon push their phone and internet plans and Starbucks brews its shlock java within walking distance of each other. I find myself here a few times a year when in need of basic garments and shoes (DSW). Don't mind saving shekels when it makes sense. Too, with the improved dining options, hanging around for lunch or dinner and a drink can be convenient and fun. Yeah, you can also pick out furniture at Raymour & Flanigan and stock up on groceries at Shop Rite, if the weather is cold enough to leave the milk in the car until you get back home to Pennsylvania. They just put in a Zoe's Kitchen, so you can get your healthy Mediterranean freak on. Mercer Mall seems to be making all the right moves.

Four solid stars for this oasis on the road from Trenton to the Jersey Shore.

This is the largest shopping center I've been to, and while they do have good stores, it's almost overwhelming how it's set up. For example, you have Target and Michaels on one corner. Drive a little bit to another side, and you have Dollar Tree, Sally Beauty on another corner. Drive to a third corner, and you go to Five Below PetSmart, HomeGoods. Drive more to another corner, and you get the idea. The stores are in all different parts, that you have to drive around to get from one store to the other. You cannot walk, unless if you want to take over your life, and cross US-1. Great stores. Not great layout.
