Things To Do

Palmer Square

Palmer Square is the hub of Princeton and a great place to walk around to do some shopping or even just people watch :) There are tons of great stores (both large retailers and small boutiques) and restaurants/bars. Make sure to take a picture with the famous Princeton Tiger in the middle of the square! Lululemon hosts a 3-5 mile run around Princeton every Saturday morning (all ages/levels welcome). Meet at the store at 8:50 AM for a 9:00 AM departure (check their website to confirm details)

Princeton Battlefield State Park

Princeton is filled with history and this is one of the top spots to visit. Princeton Battlefield was the site of General Washington's first victory against the British Regulars on the field and was the turning point for the American Revolutionary War. You can visit the Thomas Clarke House, Princeton Battle Monument or even go to relax and picnic if it's a nice day. Just stop by one of the delis in town and take a quick uber/cab over (or even walk if want to stretch your legs!)

Terhune Orchards

Stop by this local farm's wine tasting room and/or hand pick some of the Garden State's in-season fruits and vegetables (June is strawberry season!)

Nassau Hall

Visit Nassau Hall and walk around Princeton University's campus. Nassau Hall was also part of the battleground during the American Revolution, with both armies occupying it at one point. Nassau Hall eventually served as the nation's capitol, housing the Continental Congress. You may also recognize the campus from movies such as IQ, A Beautiful Mind, and Transformers

Princeton University Art Museum

Houses over 92,000 works of art that range from antiquity to contemporary collections

Albert Einstein Home

Though designated a National Historic Landmark, Einstein did not want his home turned into a museum. You can still take a quick walk from town to check it out and hope for some osmosis effect to take hold.

Morven Museum & Garden

A National Historic Landmark, Morven served as New Jersey's Governor's Mansion for almost four decades and was home to one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and five governors.

Princeton Tour Company

Take in Princeton with the experts! They host weekend public tours or will create a private, custom tour just for you

Princeton Canoe Rental

Rent a canoe and explore the Delaware and Raritan Canal. There are also walking paths and hiking trails to explore by foot

Grounds For Sculpture

Do it for the 'gram and stop by this awesome sculpture park/museum. Grounds For Sculpture is situated on the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds and includes three of its major historic buildings. When you go to Grounds For Sculpture you can expect to find a constantly evolving collection of superb contemporary outdoor sculptures, 42 magnificently landscaped acres in which to stroll, rotating exhibitions in six indoor galleries and much more!

La Mezzaluna

A nice Italian restaurant in town. This has been the spot of many family gatherings and celebrations, including Cliff and Kristin's first date in Princeton.

Agricola Eatery

A great farm-to-table restaurant right in town

Triumph Brewing Company

One of the state's first brewpubs!

Winberie's Restaurant & Bar

A Cummings family favorite throughout the years--a great place to grab a bite to eat and a few of drinks!

Witherspoon Grill

Yankee Doodle Tap Room

Located right in The Nassau Inn, this is another great spot to grab a bite to eat and some drinks. You'll find framed photos of some of Princeton's most famous alumni on the walls, a scuffed table Albert Einstein allegedly carved his name into, and behind the bar, an original Normal Rockwell mural

Halo Pub

One of the popular ice cream spots in town. Fun Fact: This is Kristin's favorite ice cream spot and the first place she visited in Princeton when her family moved here in 1995...she could barely see over the counter back then!

The Bent Spoon

Hoagie Haven

A trip to Princeton would not be complete without a stop at this famous sandwich shop! Consider a late night stop for "His", a cheesesteak with porkroll, or "Hers", a Sanchez (chicken fingers, french fries, mozzarella stick, cheese, and sanchez sauce).

Conte's Pizza

Some of the best pizza in the world! (seriously)

PJ's Pancake House

Famed breakfast and lunch spot in town. Kristin would come here with her dad and her brother every Sunday and order the PJ's Two-Fer with chocolate chip pancakes :) Look closely for Cliff and Kristin's names carved into one of the booths
