St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, guys, and sure, you may not be Irish (though, are you sure? Around 11.9% of Americans are part Irish), but I’m betting you are American, and what’s the point of America at all if not to celebrate our dizzying variety of cultures? (And maybe to get tipsy doing it!)

My fiance, Jim, grew up in Princeton. So when six months into our relationship I packed up all my things and moved from North Jersey to a tiny apartment in Princeton Junction, I figured he’d know where to get a good Sunday brunch. I was wrong. It’s been a sore spot in the otherwise loving affair, but thankfully, with six months to go before our wedding day, the situation has been rectified.

Elements is the place to go for brunch in Princeton; the place, also, to go for lunch, or dinner, or a fine round of drinks. As Jim has been saying since our first visit, “Finally, a New York quality restaurant in Princeton.” If you are like me, a girl who before having her morning coffee finds PJ’s a tad too cheery and Small World a bit too hip, and who prefers her Sunday brunch to involve food that’s just as good as Saturday night’s dinner—not to mention refreshing cocktails, with gin and lillet, to revive her from Saturday night’s drinking—then there’s no better place. Actually, with Element’s play on Steak and Eggs, made with 48-hour short-ribs, I don’t think it matters what kind of person you are: there is no better place. »» Elements in Princeton: Brunch Perfection

On a recent cold, windy and misty evening, I headed over to Liberty State Park to the renowned Liberty House Restaurant to try the best choice of food on a night like this—mac ‘n’ cheese. Liberty House was kind enough to give Jersey Bites a sneak peek of their upcoming Mac ‘n’ Cheese Meltdown, starting on March 2nd and running throughout the month. The creation of Liberty House Chef Phil Campanella, along with Chef Jerry Villa from their sister restaurant, Stone House (in Warren), this meltdown will serve 26 different mac ‘n’ cheeses—a different one every night (except for Mondays, when both restaurants are closed). The chefs were looking to do something fun and different, and thought mac ‘n’ cheese was the perfect comfort food choice to fit the bill. It’s the first “theme” month the Liberty House is featuring, and if all goes well some of the mac ‘n’ cheese favorites will earn a permanent home on the menu.
