Princeton the prim university town

It's 17th-century streets are packed with charming half-timbered mansions, streaming with erudite students, and dotted with the former homes of some of the world's greatest inventors and scientists. There's an eclectic restaurant scene to boot, and bookshop-libraries with dusty tomes to get lost in, not to mention oodles of charming Princeton vacation rentals that'll place you within equal distance of the Big Apple and Philly.

You could also attend one of the public lectures, covering a wild range of subjects, from theoretical physics to Islamic literature. And if that's still not enough, there's always the handsome 19th-century estates and pretty canals of the nearby New Jersey backcountry to explore.
