Palmer Square

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 feel like you are in a Christmas Hallmark movie. 🎄

Lovely family experience and took pictures with the Christmas tree!

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 of shops along the road, with Princeton University at a walking distance. Lots of students, teenagers, hanging out at the Square just taking in the sights. Plenty to do and see. Great for just a scenic drive, jog, run, or walk.

Pretty much spend half our life here.. Between the shops, bars, clothing, doctors, restaurants and more. Love this town.

Nicely done up for the holidays, plenty of people enjoying themselves but not crowded.

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful spot to enjoy season activities such as music festivals and such. 🎸🎹 Ideal for families, and whoever wanting to enjoy the day. Many stores and restaurants nearby ✅

Great selection of shops. There is a big chunk of apparel stores in the square as well as a nice grassy area that occasionally will have live music by the Nassau Inn. Food wise there are plenty of great options and both street and garage parking.

Nostalgia is an emotion in a place and Palmer Square takes me there in a second. Check out the art museum store, the bakery / coffee shop, the kiosk convenience store. Check out the Nassau Inn. (Checking in is $$$) Walk a little farther along the campus frontage, past Witherspoon Street, for more local sights/sites. Even the Starbux is a cut above. Hoagie Haven, though, your quality has slipped

this is such a great place with great restaurants etc. Saturdays during the summer they have concerts from 12-2pm family friendly. this woman was performing there too

Even though ALL the shops have changed since I lived here, the Nassau Tavern is still a joy, and the square is lovely. Changed but still somehow Princeton

Lovely square at the center of town with restaurants and shops. The Bent Spoon has great ice cream with creative flavors but the lines can be long.

Amazing place to visit. Specifically in Fall season... the building and trees around looks so fantastic...10/10

Beautiful place for holiday lighting..!
No time restrictions also.. you can visit anytime

Such a beautiful center! The holiday decorations really get you into the holiday spirit!

Very nice, old world setting. Wonderful stores and restaurants.

Great place to have fun, eat, and spend time with family and friends.

Love it so many shops to visit
