Local wait staff will put their tray-balancing skills to the test at The Princeton Merchants Association’s 7th Annual Waiters’ Race on Thursday, July 13 at 4 p.m. at the Princeton Shopping Center. This year, there are 15 participating restaurants with over 70 racers. The fastest racers (who don’t spill their teetering cargo) will take home cash prizes, gift cards, and more. The start line of the race is located next to the Main Street Cabana.

This year’s field of competitors includes wait staff from Agricola, Alchemist & Barrister, Blue Point Grill, Ivy Inn, Jammin’ Crepes, Main Street Bistro, McCaffrey’s, Mediterra, Nomad Pizza, Teresa Caffe, Triumph Brewing Company, Winberries, Witherspoon Grill, and the Yankee Doodle Tap Room. 

John Marshall, president of the Princeton Merchants Association states, “Each year our field of competitors grows as does the popularity and attendance of this event…. We will also find out if two-time men’s champion, Witherspoon Grill’s Dan Speck, can reclaim the men’s crown that was his in 2015. The PMA Waiters’ Race has definitely become a summer must-attend event in Princeton.”
