Watch every quarter, period, inning, round, or set! You don’t have to miss a moment of your favorite team or player in action. With the opening of The Princeton Sports Bar & Grill (PSB&G) last July, sports fans and foodies alike can combine their love of the game with their love of good eating.

In our high tech, fast-paced world, what was once considered a luxury is now often a necessity. A stretch of quiet time and a bit of hands-on pampering can be beneficial to mind, body, and spirit. Time away from the stresses of one’s busy life can rejuvenate and revitalize.
Casey Kang, new owner of Princeton Nails at 6 Nassau Street, fully understands this. “We give people the best personal care and attention. We take special care to help them relax. They need this time for themselves.”
