Princeton: Accommodation, eating and drinking
The only hotel in the center of Princeton is the pompous, ersatz-colonial Nassau Inn on Palmer Square (tel 609/921-7500; $160-200). Budget motels can be found along US-1 and in the suburb of Lawrenceville a few miles south of town; there's the functional Red Roof Inn , 3203 US-1 (tel 609/896-3388; $35-50), and the McIntosh Inn (tel 609/896-3700; $50-75), by the Quaker Bridge Mall on US-1, along with the more relaxing Best Western Palmer Inn , 3499 US-1 at Alexander Road (tel 609/452-2500; $100-130).There's cheap diner-type food along Witherspoon Street. Panera's , 136 Nassau St (tel 609/688-1692), serves tasty, reasonably priced sandwiches, or for a more upmarket feast, the popular Annex , 128 Nassau St (tel 609/921-7555), serves quality Italian dinners by candlelight. Mediterra at 29 Hulfish St (tel 609/252-9680) is an upscale Mediterranean restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and well-prepared food. Nightlife is limited, especially out of term time, but the Tap Room bar downstairs at the Nassau Inn is usually full of ancient revelers drinking, reminiscing and enjoying live jazz.
