Restaurants In Princeton, Nj Area?

I'm going to a conference in Princeton in October - does anyone know of any good restaurants in the area? I'll have a car, and I'll be staying in a hotel on Route 1 a bit north of Princeton. I do know the area a bit - I lived in Plainsboro for two years, but I didn't know about my food intolerances then, and I moved away over a decade ago, so I have no idea what's there now. (As I recall, the restaurant scene in general was pretty bleak then - I hope it's improved!) Thanks much for any suggestions!

There are numerous Indian restaurants in the area that have gluten-free food. Crown of India in the Princeton Meadows Shopping Center is near where you will be staying.

PF Chang's is a few miles south on Route 1 at the Market Fair Mall. (Trendy Chinese restaurant with a gluten-free menu available on request; gluten-free dishes prepared in a dedicated part of the kitchen.)

Blue Point Grill on Nassau Street in Princeton (near Jay's Cycle Shop) is a seafood restaurant that has many menu items prepared without glutenous ingredients.

Tom Yum Goong is a Thai restaurant near the intersection of Nassau Street and Harrison Street with curries that are safe and also Pad Thai. I'm unsure about some of their other entrees prepared with rice; if you go there make sure that you are not ordering anything with soy sauce.

You can get sushi at the Teriyaki Boy in the food court at Forrestal Village, but you'll need to supply your own wheat-free soy sauce.

Thanks very much! I'll only be there for three nights, so that should be plenty to keep me fed. :)

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
