Since [1950] Conte’s has become a Princeton destination; a great old-school bar that also happens to serve some of New Jersey’s best pizza, thin-crusted and bubbly. The restaurant hasn’t changed much since then; even the tables are the same. It’s a simple, no-frills space, but if you visit during peak times, be prepared to wait well over an hour for a table.

PEACE OF MIND Joe & Fran

“The best decision we ever made and the most important too! My wife Fran’s health was declining and even with daily support from a caregiver, it all got to be too much for me to handle. We realized we needed to make a change. Maplewood was the best community in the area and I don’t say that lightly. Before coming here, I researched 12 other communities but they just didn’t measure up. Here, Fran and I are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The people are amazing. The staff is very attentive and caring. We have everything we could possibly need – loving friends, diverse activities and exceptional care. We couldn’t be happier or more in love!”

—Joe & Fran, Maplewood Senior Living Residents
