Plus, mark your calendar for an evening of fun...Girls Night Out is less than two months away. no-reply@palmersquare.com (Palmer Square) Mon, 02 Apr 2012 04:00:00 +0100 http://www.palmersquare.com/news/1#20-town-topics-article-written-by-anne-levin-brooks-brothers-other-retailers-to-open-stores-on-palmer-square The arrival of Brooks Brothers on Palmer Square next fall is not the only change planned for Princeton’s downtown. A women’s accessory store and some shuffling of spaces are also in the works. On Witherspoon Street, a tenant has been signed for the old Lahiere’s restaurant, but just who that tenant is remains to be revealed. “I can’t comment on that,” said Jeffrey M. Siegel, president of ML-Seven, the real estate firm that owns the building, where renovations have been underway for the past few weeks. “The tenant will be making an announcement when he’s ready.” Brooks Brothers, which will move into the 6,130-square-foot space being vacated by Banana Republic, is known for its line of conservative collegiate clothing, primarily for men. “David [Newton, vice president of Palmer Square Management] has been in discussion with them, back and forth, for some time,” said Anita Fresolone, Palmer Square Management’s marketing director. “They were waiting for the right space to present itself, and with Banana Republic vacating, it came up.” Banana Republic will relocate to Princeton Marketfair in West Windsor. In mid-March, a women’s accessories store will open in the Palmer Square West space previously occupied by Terracycle, Ms. Fresolone said. “They don’t want to reveal their name until they open.” Other changes on the square involve expansions and refittings. Luxaby Baby is moving down Hulfish Street to larger quarters. “They are adding a line of maternity clothing, which I think will be a very nice draw,” the marketing director said. The Paperie will relocate from its store next to the Mediterra restaurant to the former Pierre Deux space, also on Hulfish Street. “They’ll have a clean rectangle in that space, which from a merchandising perspective will be a nice fit for them,” Ms. Fresolone said. The changes leave two vacancies on the square. “But there is always interest,” said Ms. Fresolone. “I’m excited for spring and for all our changes, because everything is for the positive.”   no-reply@palmersquare.com (Palmer Square) Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.palmersquare.com/news/1#21-lots-to-be-excited-about There’s lots to be excited about this upcoming month.

This new edition of the classic holiday poem faithfully reproduces the cherished verse alongside Mr. Santore’s lavish illustrations.   “Charles Santore is a brilliant illustrator and we love his books,” says jaZams owner Joanne Farrugia, who has previously hosted Mr. Santore for several book signings. This 48-page hardcover edition is embellished with five-color printing on both the cover and interior pages, giving Mr. Santore’s illustrations that radiant warmth perfect for the wintry season. A four-page gatefold is situated in the middle of the book, spanning nearly four feet in length and spilling the beautiful wintry wonderland right into the readers lap. This feature has never before been included in any other published edition. Publisher's Weekly gave the book, which took two years to complete, a starred review, calling Mr. Santore’s vision a “gorgeous interpretation of a beloved holiday classic.” Mr. Santore’s previous book illustrations includes editions of The Wizard of Oz, Aesop’s Fables, The Complete Tales of Peter Rabbit, Paul Revere’s Ride, and more. A resident of Philadelphia, he has won many awards including the Society of Illustrators Award of Excellence, the Alumni Award of the Philadelphia College of Art, and the Hamilton King Award. His illustrations are part of several permanent collections, including the Brandywine River Museum, New York Museum of Modern Art, The Free Library of Philadelphia, and The United States Department of the Interior. His work is also dutifully collected and embedded within many private collections worldwide. JaZams is an independent toy store that has served central New Jersey for more than 15 years. Located in Princeton, it offers classic and specialty toys and games to its customers, as well as a large selection of contemporary, classic and hard-to-find books. The store often draws authors and illustrators to its premises to share their work with the community.   no-reply@palmersquare.com (Palmer Square) Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.palmersquare.com/news/1#16-november-on-the-square November has arrived and it's off to a cool, crisp start.
