Allow time during your visit in Princeton to spend time at the Uni Art Museum. There's a superb permanent collection that spans centuries across the globe, and there's always the added attraction of a special exhibit. Everything is perfectly curated (as one would expect), and the museum itself, though large, will invigorate rather than tire you. Highlights include a fabulous window by Burne-Jones.

Unique, very special store with incredible range. You can buy an inexpensive Princeton U souvenir, or a designer handwoven cotton coat, or a classic Austrian loden coat or cape and more. It is always worth going into this store for whatever wonderful find they might have found somewhere. Reason enough to go to Princeton; if you are Princeton, whenever you are in Princeton, it's a must visit.
