Brunch all day at PJ's Pancake House (Princeton)

PJ'S SPECIAL OMELETTE, BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES W/ STRAWBERRIES ($12)

STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE ($5)

SIDE ORDER OF BACON ($5)

One of my favorite brunch and breakfast places in New Jersey. Far better than most diner foods, because there is a variety of pancake (buckwheat, fruit, chocolate chip).I typically get some sort of egg-bacon dish. I love their omelettes because they have many add-ins and you can substitute with egg whites / egg beaters.
The omelette dishes come with either hashed browns and bread, or 3 abundant slices of buttermilk pancakes (which you can substitute and add on to for different options).
Their coffee, orange juice, milkshakes, and smoothies are so fresh! I can never resist ordering at least one.
In addition to breakfast foods, they have the typical sandwiches and salads that are served (but as of today, I have yet to try those).
As a huge fan of bacon, I want to note  that their bacon is always crispy and satisfying :)
Fun fact: in January 2013, Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake filmed a scene here!

Price range: $5-$15

Pasta and Dessert at Metro North (Princeton)

CHICKEN SALTIMBUCCA W/ PROSCIUTTO AND SPINACH AND WHOLE WHEAT PENNE ($13); MOLTEN LAVA CHOCOLATE CAKE ($10)

Metro North offers a great selection of American and Italian dishes. Their steak, chicken, pasta, and seafood entrées are always flavorful and never disappointing! I absolutely love the atmosphere, it's so comfortable, warm, and not-crowded. It even has a great fireplace.

The main dishes are never sparing in major ingredients. Notice in my chicken pasta dish above, there is an abundance of garlic. Never lacking in herbs and ingredients.
Their appetizers are very diverse and, of course, tasty. Great for a large group of people.
The dessert menu has a standard price, but the chocolate lava cake is served hot (prepared fresh after ordering) and the ice cream and fruit / cream pairs well with the sweet, warm chocolate.

Price: $7-$15
