New Hope PA & Lambertville NJ | Princeton University | Jersey Gardens Outlet Mall.. & Movies!!!!

Yep. that was my long weekend. Full of activities - Really FULL. On Saturday, went to New Hope PA & Lambertville NJ which are right on the banks of Delaware river on either side. It's a beautiful little town with nice restaurants & small non-chain shops (I bought Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh in 3D, without glasses) & all that.. pretty & cute. We had a meal at Marsha's Brown, a protestant church converted into a restaurant - nice food, great vibe, interesting place but bad service (maybe it was just the server guy we got & the girl, both!!). Overall, it was really nice!!

Then, the next stop was Princeton University, I likes it. Nice campus, looks lil like Harvard, but more organised & nicer campus. After a lil hangout there, went to Bent Spoon for a dessert - lovely place & great service (the girl kept asking to try more & more stuff). They have great hot chocolate, loved the habanero flavor. The ginger ice-cream was very good & they have very nice cookies & cupcakes specially I hear. Woudl love to visit Princeton again soon. On the way back stopped at the Durga Temple, a north Indian temple, which was very nice too.

Sunday was the visit to Jersey Garden Outlet Mall, which is huge & nice & indoor (thankfully, for the freezing sub-zero weather). there was 40% store wide discount sale at Old Navy, which made me buy lots of pants & shirts there and at Marshalls. Also watched lots of movies over the week/weekend:
  • Sucker Punch (7/10): Nice action & imagination & interesting story
  • Take Me Home Tonight (5/10): Kinda funny & okay
  • Band Baja Baraat (8/10): Very well made, great performances by Ranveer & Anushka
  • Freakonomics (8/10): Very interesting & FUN
  • Sherlock (9/10): This is British TV show but I love there adoption of Sherlock, one of the best.. almost better than the movies!!
That was pretty much it, I guess.. how about you??
