Communiversity

April 25, 2013

It’s time for annual post about one of our all time favorite events, Communiversity! We love the name, where community and university come together to support and celebrate everything local. It is this Sunday, April 28, 2013 from 1pm – 6pm, rain or shine!
Presented by the Arts Council of Princeton and Princeton University students, this is one event you don’t want to miss. Every year it attracts over 40,000 people, represents more than 200 artists, crafters and merchants from around the tri-state area and has 5 stages for live entertainment. We love the live music, delicious food and all the fun activities for kids of all ages. Watch our video if you’d like to get a little taste of what it’s like!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uww72zm1D5U Enjoy! Sig & Syl


Yoga in Princeton

February 14, 2013

Thinking of moving to Princeton, but not sure if you will be able to find world class yoga? Full disclosure: this is one of the first things we look for in a new town because we are NUTS about yoga. Maybe not our husbands’ first question, but we’ll cover their sports in a future post. Anyway, for all you yogis out there: Lots of Choices! Our favorites: YogaStream  run by the absolutely amazing and beautiful Lara Heimann. She is an inspirational teacher with fantastic classes and retreats. She also has a teacher training program offering a 200 hour certification for anyone interested in becoming a yoga teacher. Gratitude Yoga  is a donation based studio offering a wide variety of classes including Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Prenatal, Baptiste inspired classes and more.   Yoga Above  teaching: power yoga, Ashtanga, Hatha, Jnana, hot yoga and yoga for children. March 27th – Special Guest: three hour master class taught by Michael Kest (a pioneer of Power Yoga and star of too many DVDs to name); Just outside of Princeton in nearby Kingston is Simply Yoga . They offer Hatha, Iyenger, Vinyasa flow, Hatha flow and Restorative. If that’s not enough choice, there are tons of great teachers working in local gyms as well as privately. Susan Sprecher comes to mind,  as she is a great teacher, who works in various studios around town, has a home studio and teaches privately as well. Princeton is also home to many talented homeopaths, acupuncturists and natural food gurus. If you love healthy living, you’ve found your town! Sig & Syl


Good News for Princeton!

January 20, 2013

Big news for the Princeton area! Frontier Airlines has decided to make Trenton-Mercer Airport their East Coast hub. For those of you thinking of moving to the Princeton area, this is welcomed news by all. Trenton Airport is only 12 miles from downtown and there are several ways to get there.  Frontier will be offering direct flights to Atlanta, Chicago (Midway), Columbus, Raleigh-Durham, Detroit, New Orleans and four Florida locations as well. Frontier is based out of Denver and is a low fare airline so not only will it be convenient, but there will be some deals to boot!  It is a great little airport with plenty of parking so trips should be easy and hassle free.  Just another great reason to choose Princeton. Cheers! Sig & Syl

Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty (our beloved agency) along with Palmer Square and Hamilton Jewelers  is sponsoring this year’s Princeton Tour Company Holiday Trolley Tours!  Over the years we’ve written several posts as well as made a video about Mimi O and her amazing Princeton Tour Company.
