Four true seasons frame weekends on the D&R Canal towpath, Lake Carnegie, Mountain Lakes Preserve, and Princeton Battlefield. Coffee at Small World, treats from the Bent Spoon, and dinners at Agricola or Blue Point Grill anchor a polished dining scene; errands are easy at Princeton Shopping Center, MarketFair, Nassau Park, Wegmans, Whole Foods, and McCaffrey’s.
