Never bored, this is one amazing place you can take a friend who is visiting the State.
This village is a beautiful combination of quaint charm and modern finesse. There was ample parking and everything was a great walking distance. There's a great variety of foods and goods to indulge in, and the scenery with the university nearby is picturesque. I definitely would recommend for families with older kids, and couples/friends from young adults and up!
Wonderful place to take a little walk. It's a very small town but very romantic and cozy, very safe. They have Palmer square management holding up the center infrastructure, setting up events and maintaining businesses. You have different dining options, from fancy restaurants to budget options, cafes, etc. The university store and grounds are nearby, walking distance.
We always stop by here on our way home from NYC. Palmer Square is always packed with people visiting from all parts of the world. Window shopping, family fun, ice skating, browsing through the community, hanging out at the square on one of the benches with friends and family. The news stands, events, vinyl records shops, bakeries. They have plenty …

Palmer Square is a great place to go for a walk, grab ice cream, enjoy a meal, or do a bit of shopping. It’s especially nice in the summer. Very family-oriented, and you’ll see plenty of people out with their dogs. Overall, a great option for eating and spending a relaxing day out.
This town square is DEFINITELY NOT LIKE ANY OTHER ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!! Since it's in Princeton, part of the UNIVERSITY and built so long ago, if feels so old world. It's like yale and Harvard vibes all the way. I'm very lucky to live so close. My wife and I love EVERY season here. All four and very unique …
Nice little square. Love the architecture. Nicely decorated during the holiday season complete, with a giant tree. The only shop I went into was Thomas Sweet Chocolate. The chocolate was pretty good but a little expensive. The small holiday display in the window of the shop is worth checking out.
Absolutely a must when visiting Princeton during the holidays. Beautiful Christmas tree and town square area with so much to offer. Absolutely gorgeous spot to enjoy the Christmas lights and the many shops in the area. Definitely recommend shopping at the chocolate shop across the street and the ice cream shop. Definitely recommend this area during the holidays. You will …
Lovely shops, art galleries and restaurants like the Mediterranean and Hermes. Be sure to visit Mike's barbershop and say hello to Mike. He has the most wonderful mother, Rose. If you fancy a stroll parking in the prospect, parking garage after hours is free.
