Concerts at the Crossing

Looking for someplace to eat or to go for a drink before or after the show?  Here are some recommendations sent by Jeff,  a Concerts at the Crossing regular:

Wildflowers - at the Pennington circle is a local (but not exactly Irish) pub, very casual, but offer reasonably good food, including tomato pies (i.e., pizza).  They have a  liquor license, a large bar area with adjacent tables, and a separate casual dining room with booths and tables enough to take all comers.

For something  a bit more upscale, try Za,  which is Pennington, north of the circle.   Za is  BYOB, and they’re known for a constantly changing and very progressive menu – using many local growers.  Also a seasonal garden patio.

The Metro Grill is in Ewing, not far from the church, near the airport.  Good, clean Italian-based menu.  Again, nice bar area (with booths and small tables too) for an easy munch and a full dinning room should you prefer.

There are several places in Lawrenceville, only a few miles away.  They are all splendid, and most are BYOB.  Here’s just a few:

 For a casual, almost hippie cafe with decent food, try Fedora

For more upscale, well reviewed, and really good dining, try one of the following (several have outside dining):

Acacia

Chambers Walk

Vidalia

Finally, if your a bit early and just want a light something to relax over..the Mercer County golf course “Mountain View” is just a few miles away (between the UU and the interstate).  The dining is just a few steps above snack bar (although they certainly have a steak/chicken/fish entree of some nature)…but the have a lovely large patio overlooking the golf course and driving range…which makes for a lovely respite from the world.  The entire facility is fairly new…and clean as a whistle.  Yes, full bar if you just want to sip and enjoy the view.
