Dear Sexpert,
Whether you’re planning a birthday party, club dinner, reunion meet-up, graduation family meal, or any large group dinner, it can be overwhelming to find a spot in Princeton that accommodates 10+ people within a reasonable budget. To make your life a little easier, here are some options within walking distance of campus for the next time you’re planning a group meal.
I have always had a deep affinity for figure skating. Although I don’t know how to skate myself, there is something beautiful about the grace and elegance of the sport. The sound of skates slicing through the ice, mingled with the fluidity of the movements and the synchronicity with the music, is magical to behold. Therefore, I was excited to watch the Princeton University Figure Skating Club’s performance called “Skating Through the Decades.” After immersing myself in the exciting atmosphere of the night and watching the wonderful performances, I left Baker Rink astonished by the talent of the members of the Princeton community.
Princeton Township’s second annual Porchfest was held this past weekend on April 28. The event, run by the Arts Council of Princeton, was founded to promote local artists by creating mini pop-up concerts across the town. Local houses and University buildings offered their porches to a slate of performers for the afternoon, while nearby businesses like Small World, Maman, and Jammin’ Crepes sponsored the event. The entire day was free to all visitors. The acts for this year’s Porchfest featured various genres, such as a cappella, jazz, and rock, and even included several on-campus music groups.

On the night of April 22, Murray-Dodge Theater bloomed with vibrancy as diSiac celebrated its 25th anniversary with its spring semester show “DRIFT.” When the show began, the dance company took to the stage with a vigor that ran constant throughout the rest of the show’s one-and-a-half hours.

Michael Garcia ‘23 is a senior in the Computer Science department and the Program in Dance. He grew up in Pennsylvania, which is where he started dancing, primarily focusing on contemporary dance and ballet. Before starting at Princeton, he did the Bridge Year Program in China, where he began studying hip-hop. At Princeton, Garcia dances and choreographs for diSiac Dance Company. He has trained in New York and Los Angeles, and danced with the American Repertory Ballet this past winter. For his senior dance thesis, Garcia choreographed and performed his work, “Acero,” which explores the different stages of how we process stress in the body.
In an effort to avoid the scramble of last-minute packing, I recently packed up my winter clothes. I discovered I own five Forbes branded jackets — a visible reminder that for the past four years, being a resident graduate student (RGS) at Forbes has been a large part of my identity.
The Princeton University Orchestra (PUO) took the stage at Richardson Auditorium on April 22 and 23 for a stunning performance. The auditorium was full of Princeton students, locals, and visitors as the musicians warmed up, tuned instruments, fiddled with sheet music, and rearranged chairs. With the dim of the lights, the audience was swept away by a transformative, 2.5-hour performance by PUO.
A group of 10 or so dancers — all clad in colorful costumes under violet lighting — twirled and jumped around the stage of Frist Theatre, moving in sync with South Asian dance music and the occasional flash of strobe lights.

With summer approaching, I am incredulous that my first year as a Princeton student is already coming to an end. Though the past two semesters had many hectic and stressful moments, I managed to make time for myself to decompress by exploring the wonders of Nassau Street. Trying new food on Nassau Street has been a way for me to not only get acclimated with downtown Princeton but also relax amidst the eventful, fast-paced days.
On the evening of March 30, the Jupiter Ensemble took the stage of Richardson Auditorium. The music group was led by the outstanding lutenist Thomas Dunford, the group’s founder and artistic director. Additionally, the performance featured talented violinist Louise Ayrton, who proved to be a capable soloist in Vivaldi’s “Winter” concerto; promising cellist Bruno Philippe, who played a vibrant solo; and mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre, a veritable international sensation and Dunford’s longtime collaborator.
A set of rose-red doors adorned with golden, circular door knockers stood at the center of the stage in Berlind Theatre at the McCarter Theatre Center. Its imposing grandeur greeted and intrigued theater-goers at the Saturday show of “King of the Yees” by playwright Lauren Yee.
