One of the best ways to spend time in Princeton is simply strolling through the Princeton University campus. Just steps from the Nassau Inn, with historic stone buildings framed by colorful fall foliage. Start along Nassau Street and wander through iconic spots like Nassau Hall, one of the oldest buildings in the country, and the Princeton University Chapel, known for its stunning Gothic architecture and peaceful interior. Be sure to also pass through Cannon Green and Prospect Garden.
Steeped in history and charm, the Yankee Doodle Tap Room is one of Princeton’s oldest and most beloved taverns, tucked inside the Nassau Inn. What makes it unique is not just the menu, but the atmosphere — you can enjoy a meal or drink surrounded by Princeton memorabilia, historic photos of notable alumni, and even oak tables carved with initials from generations past (including Albert Einstein’s).
