In the dining room, the art is that of
a portrait gallery of well-known Princeton
University graduates. From Donald Rumsfeld
to Brooke Shields, their youth has been
forever encapsulated with their framed
senior class photos. On the other end
of the room is a wooden hearth that has
been inscribed with the text:
"Rest
Traveller, Rest, and Banish Thoughts of
Care; Drink to Thy Friends and Recommend
Them Here."
This quote was drawn from an old English
inn near Oxford, and dates back to 1937,
when Nassau Inn was rebuilt on Palmer
Square. The fireplace beneath is lit during
the wintry months, and provides welcoming
warmth to the guests.
Further indication that Princeton University
students once enjoyed themselves in our
Tap Room is the carved initials and graduating
class years on the oak tabletops. This
time-honored custom has been protected
with a glass overlay for our dining guests
to appreciate.
