<p>just to lighten this up a bit... you may think that squirrels aren't a deciding factor... but remember, you're in the company of the girl who picked Princeton cause of the pizza ;)</p>
<p>Wow! The Yalies on this site may really take offense. New Haven takes great pride in its ultra-thin, high-priced pizza.</p>
<p>i've heard that princeton has great pizza several times. which pizza place is everyone referring to?</p>
<p>personally i find it laughable that anywhere outside of new york would claim to have the best pizza. ive been to italy and their pizza is not <em>all</em> that great. lol. just kidding. well sort of. :P</p>
<p>OLD WORLD PIZZA</p>

<p>No joke: all you prospies reading this, you come visit Princeton and you give me a call or more likely send me a message and not only will I give you a special Math Major Tour (if you're a math major, of course), but I will show you the BEST PIZZA EVER and you will want to come to Princeton on it's merit alone!</p>
<p>You will have to point out this place to me, prettyfish. I'm always game for good pizza :)</p>
<p>It's on Nassau next to the fish market. i.e. where i will be living.</p>
<p>I just had dinner and you all are making me hungry. Ooh and I know what Byerly's talking about. I got a promotional brochure for New Haven at the Yale meet and there was a double spread with color pictures on that pizza. Looked delicious :D. But Buca Di Beppo has this thin pizza that you'll have to wean me off of if you want me trying any other pizza.</p>
<p>I still maintain that New York has the best pizza, but I had two much during freshman year of high school and I'm still sick of it...</p>
<p>Yeah I didn't have reservations for serendipity and the wait was an hour and a half! =( but that amount of time is pretty easy to kill in NYC... didn't get a chance to go to Old World when I visited Pton, dang!</p>
<p>My favorite NYC places are Republic ("think noodles") and City Bakery (for really good un-frozen hot chocolate). Both in the NYU area.</p>
<p>And if I had to choose a frivolous reason to go to Princeton, it would be The Bent Spoon (ice cream in Palmer Square). A little pricey as ice cream goes, but totally worth it.</p>
<p>I thought the food near Princeton was so cheap, coming from new york and eating $8 shaved ice.</p>
<p>Friendly squirrels?? Wow!!! The squirrels in my high school were NOT FRIENDLY :(</p>
<p>I'm not a great pizza fan but maybe Princeton will reform me.</p>
<p>How's the Chinese takeout in the Princeton area?</p>
<p>Mmm...good chinese restaurant on Nassau.</p>
<p>Tiger Noodles is awesome. Definitely several hundred times better than I can get here at home in the South. (I'm guessing that is what qtip is referring to -- could also be Karen's on Witherspoon which is decent but more standard.)</p>
<p>Tiger Noodles, and there's another restaurant down Nassau, like sort of across the street from Tiger Noodles. Lol. I remember purple. Haha...</p>
<p>Tiger Noodles is across from the Wild Oats store, roughly. Old World Pizza is in between George's Roasters & Ribs and the legendary Hoagie Haven. Across from those three is Kalluri Corner (Indian), Ajihei Too (Japanese), and Thai Village (self-explanatory). All three of those are pretty good, but for Indian I prefer Mehek near the CVS. Haven't chosen my favorite sushi place yet, since I just started liking it, but there's a new place (name?) on Nassau at Olden Street that is pretty good.</p>

<p>masala grill is best for indian.</p>
<p>Excuse me, but may I interrupt this discussion for a bit: Can we talk about something that is more indepth rather than Princeton squirrels, how beautiful the campus is, and what the types of food around the princeton area are like?? </p>
<p>Most students attend Princeton not for its outward "appearance", but rather for some of its inner factors, such as the quality of education, the variety and and reputation of its present and past faculty members, as well as its admission standards. These factors, in my opinion, are much greater concerns for highschoolers like me rather than knowing how the foods there are like. </p>
<p>I studied at Princeton for an entire summer in 2005, and I personally know quite a bit about it: it's home to the great 20th century scientist Albert Einstein; it possess seven separate colleges, each with its own library, dorms, class rooms, auditoriums and dining hall; it has a history of 258 years up till now, and Shirley Tiglman is presently the institution's first female president who's also a molecular biologist; Cornel West should be considered as one of its best known professor who previously worked at Harvard (he wrote several award winning political philosphy books recently); plus Princeton is also known as a major battlefield during the war of independence, and evidence of the war could be found on the historical Prospect Street.</p>
