Sometimes, The World > My Grades
Monday, 28 March 2011
by Alice Su
Orange Bubble Syndrome is something that many of us take for granted. We get stuck in a cycle of rotating between weekends at Prospect, weekdays at Firestone and occasional excursions for late meal at Frist. We micromanage our days in GCals of rainbow-colored sleep deprivation. We might stop once in a while to read something

Lahiere’s: Closed forever ever
Sunday, 14 November 2010
by Angela Wu
Of all Princeton’s restaurants, Lahiere’s is the one that stands out the most as a Princeton institution. It’s the restaurant you go to if you’ve got a date to impress–or the one you wait to go to until your parents are in town and can foot the bill. Oh. Were you planning on that? Well,

Enjoy your free food, but keep it classy
Sunday, 10 October 2010
by Angela Wu
Look, we get it. One of the greatest perks of going to Princeton is the free food. I say this with only a small amount of sarcasm, because we, too, have experienced the bliss of stumbling across a platter of abandoned cookies from Olives or walking into a study break just in time to snatch

Da’s Thai — kicked out of the Y
Saturday, 08 May 2010
by Angela Wu
Da’s Thai American Cafe, owned by Rocky-Mathey chef Da De Toro, is a campus favorite, and is located in a plain-looking hallway at the local YMCA. But not for long. The lease is up, says the YMCA, after Da didn’t inform the Y that she wanted to renew the lease last year, when the De

Jonathan Safran Foer ’99 Denounces the Sense of Taste
Wednesday, 03 March 2010
by Giri Nathan
For someone who makes such a big deal about food, author-turned-activist Jonathan Safran Foer ’99 sure has a fairly low opinion of gustation. I don’t quite agree with his hierarchy: “Look, taste is clearly the crudest of our senses: this is scientifically, objectively factual. It is less nuanced. Eyesight is extraordinary – hearing, touch. I

“This tastes like stealing my neighbor’s pears in September.”

If you haven’t had Bent Spoon ice cream, you probably don’t go to Princeton. So for our readers (Spencer, don’t be modest!) outside the Orange Bubble, who have never experienced Bent Spoon’s organic/slow/local food snob-approved ice cream, buttercream-frosted cupcakes and hot chocolate–well, I’m sorry. But this is for you. Serious Eats published a review on

Your dining hall is Twittering!
Monday, 05 October 2009
by Angela Wu
Princeton Dining has its own Twitter account this year–and is hilariously adorable about it, too. I always appreciate the cute gestures the dining halls make, from hand-written signs to the random bread-y treats the pizza section of Rocky/Mathey makes (Pesto and focaccia? Yes). And also, that one time last November, when the staff dressed up

OM NOM NOM: The Little Chef
Tuesday, 03 March 2009
by Angela Wu
Last week, a friend sent us this review of one of Princeton’s many bakeries, The Little Chef, with the note, “??? How have you not been here?” How, indeed. This week, we’ve visited Pouchon and his macarons et croissants four times. Though Serious Eats’ review leans toward the long side, and is chock full of
