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

April 25, 2013Yoga in Princeton
February 14, 2013Thinking 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, 2013Big 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

Community Counts
November 6, 2012It has been over a week since Sandy’s wrath was thrust upon the East Coast and many are still reeling. She was one nasty storm and much of Princeton was and still is without power. Trees and power lines are down everywhere, but as always the Princeton Community has been absolutely amazing. Anyone who did have power (Princeton Library, Small World Coffee and many others) opened their doors to help. Princeton Patch and Planet Princeton have been fantastic at disseminating important information. The power companies have been working 24/7 and trucks from all over the country have been spotted lending a helping hand. We are so grateful to live in such a strong community and hope we can continue to help others. The devastation on the Jersey Shore is beyond words and there are many in Princeton trying to help. There is a grassroots campaign that has been started on facebook called Restore the Shore for anyone looking for a way to help. All the best and we hope you all stay safe and warm! Sig & Syl
