Make any Sunday special! Join the Arts Council of Princeton and celebrity chef Nick Liberato for Your Cutting Board, Your Palette: The Art of Presenting Sunday Brunch on Tuesday, April 6. Free registration is available HERE!

With his Bar Rescue background, Nick will cover his favorite spreads, sides, and offer up a delicious alternative to the traditional mimosa and more.
Chef Nick is launching his latest restaurant concept, The Borscht Belt Delicatessen, in Stockton, NJ, a salute to NY Jewish culture and cuisine set to open this spring. Nick will share his most prized dishes and drinks that he will be serving-up at The Borscht Belt and touch upon the story behind each artful dish, including the famous Egg Cream. Participants will be provided with a list of key ingredients and some resources ahead of the live webinar, allowing for you to reference in planning your next brunch date.

As part of Earth Day, Sustainable Princeton is hosting Sustainable Landscaping Mini Expo on April 24 from 1-3PM at The Princeton Shopping Center. The event will include electric landscaping equipment, learn about organic lawn care techniques, and dive into native plants. Several local organizations and businesses will be there for this low-key, drop-in event. Quiet Princeton will be on hand to share advice on sustainable landscaping and mulching. In addition, Judith Robinson, a Native Plant Garden Designer, will share her knowledge about native plants and show off a few of them. The Watershed Institute and D & R Greenway will also be there. There will also be several different electric equipment and models to check out. A few eager residents will be joining us to show off their favorite battery-powered mowers, blowers, tillers, leaf shredders, hedge trimmers, line trimmers, and more. Stop by and get practical advice from those who are actually using this equipment.
