Shelly: “I really don’t have strong feelings about how many feet the Dinky is to be moved. I would like to see a vegetarian restaurant.”
Charlie: “ I really don’t care how far it is to be moved. It would be great to have a Spanish style tapas restaurant.”
—Shelly and Charlie Yedlin, Princeton

Libby: “ I don’t really care if the Dinky is moved 460 feet. But I don’t want the Dinky to leave; it adds to the charm of Princeton. My favorite food is sushi, so I would love to see a sushi restaurant.”
Mary: “I am glad they’re not getting rid of the Dinky. I would like to see a Mexican restaurant so I can grab a margarita when I come to town to visit my family and friends.”

“Historically speaking I could care less if it moves 460 feet. I’d like to see a restaurant that is intimate, not too expensive, reasonable quantity of food, where you can bring your own wine. Similar to Avanti in Pennington.” —Tom Gates, Pennington

“I don’t really care how far south the Dinky moves. I’d like to see a nice diner with really fresh food that you could go to three times a week that’s not too expensive. A place like the old Annex.  We do not need another fancy restaurant.”
—Jennifer Hartshorne,  Lambertville

“If the University can add the Lewis Art Center and all that they want to do, it will really improve and add to the community; the moving of the Dinky would be a minor change.  I’d like to see a full scale restaurant for people attending McCarter Theater or people visiting campus, as opposed to a snack bar.”
—Kristin Epstein, West Windsor

Suzanne: “I’m amazed that there can be so much controversy about moving the Dinky a mere 460 feet. People can get awfully worked up about things when they really need to remember not to sweat the small stuff. If we were to have another restaurant in Princeton, I’d like to see something on a par with Teresa’s Caffe, and probably Italian. Teresa’s is casual yet classy, the food is fresh and delectable, and because of that, the line is frequently out the door.”
