The Best Chocolate I Ever Ate and Going Home – Princeton Days 3.2 and 4.0

6 Jul

So Palmer Square is down the street from Princeton University, and outside of maybe the chocolate and ice cream shop, it’s one of those places that you really wouldn’t find the average, broke, university student. It’s more of a place where the…um…more monetarily endowed people who live in the town or tourists might shop. There’s a Kate Spade, and Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, LuLu Lemon, Ralph Lauren…well, you get the idea.

HOWEVER, my sister had been talking about Thomas Sweet Chocolates in Palmer Square for like the entire time we were there, but for some reason every time we tried to go over there it was closed. After the celebratory dinner at Nassau Sushi we decided to give it another shot, and lucky for us, they were open! More after the jump!

Graduation and Nassau Sushi – Princeton Day 3.1

1 Jul

Yes I realize this particular series of posts is taking me a long time. But it doesn’t make me any less proud of the whole reason for this series:

Yes, Amanda is now officially a graduate of Princeton University in Molecular Biology. Smarty-pants. But let me tell you, despite how much big sister pride I had, I was MISERABLE at the ceremony. It felt like it was a million degrees outside with 100% humidity (and I will say, that although I exaggerate only SLIGHTLY – there was an excessive heat warning that day). So while I am not a frequenter of college graduations, I am sure we will all be attending one or more in the future, and here are some helpful hints (also known as things I should have thought about before Amanda’s grad ceremony)

Tips and More after the jump

Mo C Mo C – Princeton Day 2.3

25 Jun

On night two, Amanda took us to this TINY little sushi place called Mo C Mo C. A play on words – Moshi Moshi is the standard greeting when someone answers the phone. I used to use it a lot in my house growing up, when all my grandparents’ friends would call. The funny thing is, my grandma of all people was the one who didn’t get the joke.

Again, I will say the place is TINY. They had like 6 tables. We almost didn’t fit in their dining room! And the food was delicious. While they do offer fresh sushi, they also have some cooked items like tempura, and some fusion items. The place, although small, seemed fairly busy, so it was good we were able to make a reservation. This apparently was one of Amanda’s favorite places to eat, and I would also reccommend it!

Check out some of the reasons this place is so delicious:

They called this a "pizza" but it was more like puff pastry with stuff on it...

Kumamoto Oysters...my favorite!

Sushi-Sashimi Combo - it's so pretty!

Chirashi - also so beautiful! Look at the colors!

Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura - I love how they stack it in a little pyramid

Sashimi Deluxe - the only thing that bothered me about this was the random pieces of Krab (yes with a K)

My plate of a la carte nigiri - featuring ikura! My favorite!

How beautiful are these scallop nigiri?
