Great location with reasonable prices. If you have been to Princeton over the past few years you…read moreknow how hard it is to find street parking. Instead of doing laps around the streets I find it much easier and a better use of your time to just park in a garage or municipal lot. This garage is located in the heart of Palmer Square just steps away from and wide variety of shops and restaurants. Just a block off Nassau Street. If you are making a quick stop the first 30 minutes are free. Convenient if you are dropping off books at the library. Remember to take your ticket with you and pay when you return to the garage before exiting.

As I wrote in my initial review, in all the years I've been coming here...and the years have been…read moremany...there was never a problem securing a parking space. A few days ago, I came here for my semi-regular trip to the Princeton Record Exchange...and there wasn't a space. Anywhere inside Hulfish. Suddenly, unexpectedly, this formerly 4-star parking garage felt claustrophobic and dimly lit. And very small. I drove around and around the 1st level. No go. I went up to the 2nd level. No go. One or 2 a**holes parked their vehicles in 2 spaces instead of 1. Nice going, jacka**. Thanks for being considerate. After my 5th or 6th reconnoiter around the area, I saw someone getting ready to pull out. I stationed myself nearby in readiness. One minute passes. Two. What in hell are they doing?!? Finally, they begin...slowly, ever so slowly...inching the vehicle out of its narrow spot. As they do, a car comes from another direction, and...like a predatory shark honing in on vulnerable prey...pulls swiftly into my spot. I've been accused in the past of being a "hothead," and in my lifetime I've had my share of fistfights (most of which I lost), but in recent years I've taken to meditating, studying Buddhism and similar spiritual paths, and my so-called "Golden Years" are fast approaching, so I think my "street fighting man" days are long behind me (one of my old friends, a bank robber and accomplished street fighter, not too many years ago got into a confrontation with someone in Brooklyn and had a gun pulled on him. Luckily, no shots were fired. Getting into a physical confrontation ain't what it used to be...) Still, I wasn't about to leave without giving the offending driver at least some tiny piece of my mind. To my chagrin, an elderly woman tottered out of the car. I said to her, as calmly as possible, "Y'know, I was waiting for that spot for a long time." She seemed confused, disoriented, said she had been driving around the parking lot seemingly "forever," and finally mentioned that she was late for a beauty parlor appointment. Being the soft-hearted sap that I am, I mumbled, "Alright, don't worry about it, no harm done, forget it..." (I guess buying DVDs and CDs at the Record Exchange isn't as important as her appointment at the beauty parlor. I had a vision of her walking out of the garage like Keyser Soze from "The Usual Suspects," shedding her gray-haired wig, straightening her posture, wiping off the "old age" make up with a tissue, and heading off to the beauty parlor with a firm and self-assured step instead of the tremulous shuffle she had utilized inside the parking garage. Smiling at the memory of the hapless rube she had left behind in Hulfish, still circling around and around in the stifling airlessness of the place, still hopelessly searching for a parking space.) At that point, I was getting ready to leave and call it a day when I finally...finally...found a parking spot. By then, I had developed a rampaging migraine. Not that Hulfish is responsible for all that. Garages get filled up, and old ladies (and others) steal available parking spots. I'm not saying I won't seek Hulfish out again when I return to Princeton. It's convenient, and usually (emphasis on the word "usually") parking there isn't a problem. But after this most recent experience, it's hard to think of Hulfish as anything other than just another parking garage, smaller and more crowded than some others. And there are at least some other parking garages in the area (I passed at least one as I walked to the Record Exchange) that might be worth seeking out in the future. Memories only go so far.

So the next day we decided to check it out. This place blew us away. The modern architecture is stunning with different levels, and there is even a fireplace. There is also a room dedicated just for magazines with the most current issues. If you like movies the library has an impressive selection of DVDs. Even their restrooms have fancy Dyson faucets. There is a cafe as well. One of the upper levels offers a nice outdoor patio balcony. Good to see the tax dollars going back to the community. No matter how old you are, go get yourself a library card. There is a parking garage nearby. It's a great way to spend the day reading a book or two.

One of the main means to commute to the heart of Princeton, located at the southern edge of the…read moreuniversity, whereas long ago, it was located close to the entrance of Princeton (near current day Blair Hall of Princeton U), and then relocated to another stop meters south until 2013, which became The Dinky Bar & Kitchen almost a year ago, making this the third iteration, being a part of the current modernization of the university (bigger buildings, more parking). Nowadays, there's plenty of features that can make this station worthwhile to depart and leave from, including a nearby bus/shuttle/taxi stop, Wawa (which to be short, is as shiny as a diamond, even for Princeton U), bike racks, and most of Princeton U to explore, or attend. If commuting by rail, this station is the only way in/out of Princeton, offering a brief 5 minute ride on the historic "Dinky" route, shuttling passengers in/out of Princeton to Princeton Junction (or West Windsor) in a 5 minute ride, from then, you can connect with other routes on the NEC (as south as Trenton, or as north as Newark/New York), and Amtrak's routes. Ticket prices, it's 3$ to go to/from this station to/from Princeton Junction, and to the bewilderment of first timers, it's a separate trip, where the conductors are mostly lenient on making them buy a ticket on the train (3+5$ = 8$), and hypothetically, it'll be: 6.75$ for a Princeton-Trenton ride, 17.75$ for Princeton-New York Penn, or 19$ from Princeton-Newark Liberty Int'l Airport, all one way, but two tickets. In terms of amenities, there's a train shelter/waiting rooms almost immediately near the tracks that are pleasant in winter, open air seating/tables outside, great for summer, 4 NJ Transit TVMs, a Wawa, which in my opinion is leagues better vs the store in Princeton Junction's station, and a bathroom in Wawa. Fortunately, the rooms are open as long as the station is, in contrast to PCJ. The buses outside will offer connections to the rest of Princeton, and nearby communities, such as Montgomery, Lawrence, and more, as well as inside the university, and there's rarely taxis outside. Timing, it can range from an hour, 10 minutes to 90 minutes (70-90) to ride to/from this station to/from NY Penn, 25 minutes to/from Trenton, and 5 minutes to Princeton. Fortunately the "Dinky" arrives in sync most of the time when the (NJT) trains roll in, giving you 2-5 minutes to react and head out, same can be said for the opposite, while giving you ample time to park, purchase tickets, and more. Now for my cons, it's a bit upsetting to have to walk all the way from one end of the university to Nassau Hall to get into Princeton proper, but it's a good way to see the sights and be at peace! In cases of severe storms and/or snow, the line may be disrupted, giving commuters the option of switching to buses. It's an annoyance since the trip may take longer and may not be in tune with PCJ's timing, but at least they honor bus/rail tickets. It's a good station, and with plenty of conveniences, ample time to explore Princeton U, good restaurants/Wawa, and the chance to bike, you're in good hands here. Almost never felt like I was "unsafe here", but I'm sure Princeton U's police give a fair inspection every time. Until next time!
