We spent part of our weekend at the lovely Crossing Vineyards and Winery just a stone's throw from the Delaware River near Washington's Crossing.
We tasted many locally-produced wines served with a plate of assorted cupcakes from.
We also enjoyed live music from the Upper Princeton Swing Collective.
From there it was on to The Cranbury Inn in the charming town of Cranbury, NJ where we enjoyed a lovely dinner.
Established in the mid 1700's, The Cranbury Inn Restaurant continues to function for its original purpose
of offering food and drink to people from all over the world. You
enjoy your dining experience from various menus, complimented by an extensive wine list and full service bar, in a warm friendly
atmosphere with attentive service.
The Cranbury Inn physically
consists of two 1700's stagecoach taverns built together in 1800 by
the innkeeper's house with a 1930 main dining room addition. In 2005 a
200+ seat timber frame banquet hall was built to replace the big barn
that was destroyed by fire in 1902.
Entering The Cranbury Inn you come
into the colonial innkeeper's
living room, which is now the lobby. Walking to your
left you enter the pine paneled Main Dining Room which boastfully
displays eight large windows and is surrounded by a plate rail that is
home to an eclectic collection of plates. Authentic colonial firearms
are displayed around the room intermingled with antique clocks and
old lithographs as well as recently done oils and watercolors. The
room furnishings include some antique dining room tables used for the
wedding receptions of many couples that have returned to celebrate
their 50th, 65th, & 75th anniversaries at the same tables in the
same room five to seven decades later.
The Cranbury Inn is a one-of-a-kind experience.
