An annual St. Patrick’s Day contest at Princeton’s Alchemist & Barrister Restaurant & Pub puts Irish fun and frivolity to good use: raising funds for local charities. This year is no exception; the watering hole’s 38th Annual Longbeard Contest is helping the DiGregorio’s, a Princeton family whose middle son has a rare genetic disorder called [...]
We had a fun and filling day at the Mercer County Italian American Festival with the Summer Fordcast Tour. What a wonderland of smells and tastes and great conversation.

I have a new favorite sandwich joint; The Princeton Soup & Sandwich Company in Palmer Square in Princeton. Devine, delightful and deliriously good soup, sandwiches and chili (judging by how fast my darling husband vacuumed it up)!
