Princeton Shopping Center is a sprawling outdoor pedestrian mall in an otherwise quiet residential…read moreneighborhood featuring a potpourri of unique upscale shops, interesting restaurants and cut-above chain eateries. The trouble is that I never think of it, especially in the winter when I would rather not be strolling their retail promenade in an icy gale. Too bad, because there's a lot to like here. Somewhere, Jeff Bezos must be laughing uncontrollably as he twists his imaginary handlebar mustache with diabolic glee. As for myself, I'm just going to hit enter to complete my order and grab some hot chocolate.

Bring your all-terrain tires to find a spot to park in this complex or the potholes might swallow your car. If you want to kill 2 birds with one stone go to mccaffreys and buy lettuce, tomatoe, oil, and vinegar, throw it in your back seat, run over some potholes and viola- you've got yourself a tossed salad. My "old person" Subaru has a kick-butt suspension system (I know because I'm able to go over a speed bump at 30 mph without feeling a thing) but I don't dare attempt to fall into one of the craters at this shopping center; the potholes here are continuing to evolve into bottomless craters that want to destroy your car. Don't let this happen! Practice weaving at home before you come into this shopping center; put valuable items around your car to practice. If you haven't killed any of your favorite items then you're ready for level 10, The Princeton Shopping Center.

Marketfair Mall in Princeton feels like a small miracle of survival in the digital age, a place…read morethat is neither packed to the rafters nor echoingly abandoned like so many malls that have gone gently into that good night. It is comfortably alive, which is more than can be said for much of modern retail. The Barnes and Noble alone is reason enough to show up. It is a proper bookstore where you can wander, browse, and briefly pretend the internet isn't actively murdering print media. I also enjoy the little AMC theater, which is perfectly fine as long as you are seeing a movie that does not demand the thunder and spectacle of IMAX. Sometimes a modest screen, a bag of popcorn and a plush recliner are more than enough. The place is rarely crowded, which makes errands feel less like combat and more like a calm agreement between shoppers and time itself. That said, I am hoping something interesting eventually replaces the recently shuttered Bahama Breeze. The space feels like it wants to be fed a new idea. Time will tell whether that happens. Four stars for being pleasant, functional, and quietly resisting extinction. In this era, that feels like an accomplishment.

It is neither quaking, nor bridged, nor particularly Quaker, though I did feel a strange spiritual calm while waiting in line at Auntie Anne's, watching dough be twisted into symbols of carbohydrate comfort. Inside, time folds in on itself like a pair of clearance khakis. There are stores selling perfume, gadgets, jeans tight enough to restrict original thought. There's a Cheesecake Factory, which exists on the same moral plane as purgatory: vast, overlit, and full of folks trying to remember what it was they came in for. The mall is clean. The ceilings are high. The escalators move up and down like Sisyphus with a corporate sponsor. No one seems to know why they're there, but they are, floating from JC Penney to Old Navy in a retail daze. The air smells faintly of artificial scents and unspoken longing. There's something poetic about a mall in the 21st century. A living fossil. A place where you can still see teenagers in small herds, clutching bubble tea and dreams. Where old men power-walk past Forever 21, defiant in orthopedic sneakers. Where the Apple Store shines like a sterile shrine to tech-assisted distraction. Three stars. Not because it's bad; it's not. It is precisely what it claims to be: a mall. A decent one. One with enough stores to feel like you might find something, even if you don't know what you're looking for. It would get four stars if it had a decent bookstore. It would get five if it could answer why I felt slightly lonelier when I left than when I arrived.

Banks, supermarkets and car dealers, including the sainted Tesla and the obligatory Starbucks share a common lot and the result is Bedlam with a much higher than average incidence of fender benders (and worse.) I avoid the Mercer Mall like tainted meat, shop at your own risk. Two stars for the adrenaline rush.

Mercer Mall on Rt. 1 South in Lawrenceville, NJ is a large strip commercial center directly across…read morefrom Quakerbridge Mall. It used to be low budget with the likes of TJ Maxx, Ross and Drug Emporium, but the new millennium saw infrastructure investment and a new wave of more upscale retail. Now, along with Maxx and Ross you find 47 stores from Bed Bath & Beyond, to REI, Massage Envy and Nordstrom Rack, and decent chain restaurants from Outback, Bonefish, Hooters and Olive Garden. AT&T and Verizon push their phone and internet plans and Starbucks brews its shlock java within walking distance of each other. I find myself here a few times a year when in need of basic garments and shoes (DSW). Don't mind saving shekels when it makes sense. Too, with the improved dining options, hanging around for lunch or dinner and a drink can be convenient and fun. Yeah, you can also pick out furniture at Raymour & Flanigan and stock up on groceries at Shop Rite, if the weather is cold enough to leave the milk in the car until you get back home to Pennsylvania. They just put in a Zoe's Kitchen, so you can get your healthy Mediterranean freak on. Mercer Mall seems to be making all the right moves.

Well, the upscale facia would suggest a more formal…read moreretail center but the hodgepodge collection of stores and restaurants (not to mention the high vacancy rate) would indicate a landlord desperate to lease to anything that moves. My primary complaint are parking spaces so tightly drawn that you have to wonder if the advent of the SUV had ever occurred to the architect. A Chevy Suburban and a Lincoln Navigator could easily crush any vehicle much larger than a Big Wheel with the cajones to crowbar themselves in between. If you want to open your doors, forget about it brother. Like everything else in Plainsboro, this center is low key bordering on amnesiac so frankly, I never think about this place but sometimes my self-driving Big Wheel just has a mind of it's own. Where'd I leave my crowbar?

It's the 10 acre center of Princeton featuring a village green that every visitor wants to stroll…read morewhile they're here. Great restaurants and high-end window shopping abound in this rectangular upscale idyll that always seems to be packed with khakis. You can get everything from a flight of microbrews, sushi airlifted from Japan and a Rolex chaser along with a fairly rapid churn of retailers owing to the sky high rents. In the summer expect impromptu concerts while the winter brings the obligatory tree lighting and extended shopping hours. It's all very genteel and lovely and is what you would envision as a pristine Ivy League backdrop albeit one with a bit of a hard scrabble backstory. It seems way back in the 1930's Zinc Magnate Edgar Palmer was eager to transform the area from a working class shantytown of migrants (who labored in the homes of the town's prosperous) and simply bought up all of the land and replaced it with his gazebo laden daydream. Goodbye migrants. Through the years Ralph Kramden gave way to Ralph Lauren and Ham Hocks became Hermés while the factory row homes magically turned into multi-million dollar townhomes and condominiums. Palmer is good for a meal and a stroll but personally, I find the PU campus far more interesting with it's collegiate-gothic architecture and gardens that seemingly pop out of nowhere. If you're in Princeton you can't help but find yourself here. Enjoy it and be sure to hoist a microbrew to your new Rolex. Five stars.

There being nothing else nearby also is a big positive for Tigerlabs - because they could have phoned it in with lack of competition, but didn't. I think from searching before, the closest coworking spots would be in Philly or one or two around Rutgers. Though the latter ones haven't been close to Tigerlabs in offerings. Offerings like plenty of open space, desks, 3 conference rooms, a ping pong table, those hover board things :P, quiet/noise proof spaces, small lockers. Also a fridge and [basic] kitchen amenities like kitchenware, coffee, Sodastream, and tables to eat at.
