Princeton
Located in north-central New Jersey, Princeton is a chic college town that's home to the Ivy League Princeton University. The town's history dates back to the middle of the 18th century, but the modern town is an eclectic mix of old and new. Downtown Princeton in the area of Palmer Square is home to a mix of upscale shops and restaurants, museums and pubs. History buffs can visit the Princeton Battlefield State Park, where George Washington led American troops to defeat British Regulars on January 3, 1777. While the city is lovely all year round, visit in the fall when the centuries-old trees lining the streets begin to turn color.
