2016-06-22_13-33-30On Thursday, July 14, local wait staff will put their tray-balancing skills to the test at the 6th Annual Waiters’ Race, an event exclusively held by the Princeton Merchants Association. The event kicks off at 4 p.m. at Palmer Square, by the Green. (There is no rain date for this event.)

This event is a celebration of the servers and staff who take care of over 60,000 guests a week throughout Princeton. Waiters and waitresses from Princeton area restaurants will race while balancing two full glasses of water and a full BAI Beverage bottle on their trays. The winners will take home cash, prizes and bragging rights for the next year.

They included: Agricola, Alchemist & Barrister, Blue Point Grill, Cross Culture, Eno Terra, Ivy Inn, Jammin’ Crepes, Main Street Bistro, McCaffrey’s, Mediterra, Princeton Soup & Sandwich, Teresa Caffe, Tiger Noodles, Witherspoon Grill and the Yankee Doodle Tap Room.
