Travels w/ Kids: New Jersey

A few things to remember for all PU visit:

• Mandarin & Cantonese spoken/heard in: Princeton, Edison.

• Transportation method (s): Rental car + easy pass (for toll roads), NJ Transit

• If renting car: Park on Prospect or by PUP, Charlton St. no longer accessible and campus parking is $$ + free Princeton Loop or TigerTransit shuttle ride.

• TYM would probably prefer we NJ Transit in from Newark if flying, but the closest airport remains TTN + ~$30 Lyft/Uber ride.

• Places we didn’t get to visit, and will return for: Alchemist & Barrister, Genomics Cafe, Alexander beach volleyball court, Hoagie Haven, the Bent Spoon, and Lambertville.

TJM went back for his advisor, Buzzy Teiser’s, retirement conference, which allowed us to spend 3 days in Princeton this time.

• Accommodations: The historic Nassau Inn in Palmer Square.

After spending some much-needed QT w/ extended family at the Jersey Shore, we finally returned to Jersey after about 6 years, and with both kids for the first time!
