Moving To Central New Jersey

[Sarah8793]

We will be moving to Central New Jersey this summer. A little south of Trenton. Can anyone tell me what is available in the way of shopping for groceries, and eating out? Thanks!

I am from NJ, but I do not know anything about that area....sorry I cannot be of help.

Where are you living now?

NJ has Wegman's stores and Whole Foods; some Trader Joe's here and there.

Here are some places in central Jersey to shop for gluten-free stuff. All are accessible from Rt 1 as you go north from the Trenton area. On Quakerbridge Road there is a little shop called DeLiteful Foods. They have all kinds of gluten-free stuff, whole freezers full of breads, pastry, etc. Further up Rt 1 are a Whole Foods and a Wegman's - you can see Whole Foods from the road, and at the moment I can't think of the name of the shopping complex where the Wegman's is, but it's in with Kohl's, Target, etc. On Nassau St in Princeton is Olive May, a health food store with some gluten-free brands I have never seen anywhere else. The only restaurant around with a gluten-free menu is PF Chang's in the Marketfair Mall on Rt 1. If you're in the Pennington area up rt 31 the Pennington Market has an unusually high number of gluten-free items. If you want an Asian grocery store for buying rice flour cheap, there is a big one in Plainsboro on Plainsboro Rd. Hope this gets you started. If you're traveling, in Philadelphia you can visit Mr. Ritt's bakery (all gluten-free) and in Doylestown Jules Thin Crust Pizza has gluten-free pizza, although the thin crust is a little weird.
