Are you in a restaurant rut? It’s hard to imagine in the thriving Princeton/Hopewell dining scene but sometimes the change-up is necessary (and delicious)
Lambertville is not a secret dining destination by any means – Hamilton’s Grill Room and Lambertville Station have anchored the town for years and are always crowd pleasers. For those searching for something more worldly, with international flavors to tickle the palate, look at the concise list below and start planning your meal.
BTW - a few things matter when going somewhere new (you've done the research, the food will be good) - do they accept plastic? do they take reservations? and do I need to bring my own bottles . . .
