Welcome to the Newto News for September of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

The Alchemist & Barrister
Location: 28 Witherspoon Street
Located in an historic building on Witherspoon Street, the Alchemist & Barrister is a popular watering hole among students and visitors, with a tribute portrait of Einstein painted on the wall. Here you’ll find a variety of good pub food, from flatbreads and tacos to wings and burgers, and a rotating draft beer list.

Elements
Location: 66 Witherspoon Street
State-of-the-art cooking is always at the forefront here, and that means reaching back in time as well as staying current. Chefs Scott Anderson and Mike Ryan are foragers and students of Japanese, as well as other culinary arts. The wine and cocktail programs are on par with the top-flight food.

Hoagie Haven
Location: 242 Nassau Street
Opened in 1974 and now on its third set of owners, the Haven, as it’s called, remains popular for its roughly 14 cold submarine sandwiches and equal number of hot ones. Plus: hot dogs, burgers, sides, salads and soft drinks. Cash only.

Jammin’ Crêpes
Location: 20 Nassau Street
In addition to being a leader in recycling and composting among Princeton eateries, Jammin’ Crêpes makes a point of buying from local farms and making its own jams and fillings from scratch for its sweet and savory crêpes as well as its sandwiches.

Mistral
Location: 66 Witherspoon Street
You can be forgiven for thinking of Mistral as the lovable little brother of highbrow Elements. They share ownership and a building, but Mistral has its own character. It hits every sweet spot: moderate prices; flexibility; and one of the most creative yet relatable and delicious menus anywhere.

Nomad Pizza
Location: 301 North Harrison Street
Nomad’s Neapolitan pies have classic semi-soft interiors and puffy crusts. Beyond the soulful Margherita, highlights include the Hot Soppressata—with tomato sauce, Italian soppressata, mozzarella, red pepper flakes, oregano and a drizzle of honey to temper the assertive spice.

Triumph Brewing
Location: 138 Nassau Street
Triumph opened in Princeton in 1995, making it one of the state’s first brewpubs. It now has locations in Red Bank and New Hope, Pennsylvania, but the original still has an upscale and urbane look—plus better-than-average pub food and a rotating selection of craft beers.

Witherspoon Grill
Location: 57 Witherspoon Street
The hot pink center, so to speak, of Witherspoon’s menu is its list of high-quality steaks and chops. Very fresh seafood, including a one- or two-tier cold seafood tower, is another attraction.
