The healthy mix of restaurant choices among local retail options has made downtown Lawrenceville the go-to destination for an afternoon or a full day. From Southern homestyle at the Cornerstop Cafe to seafood at Oyster Bay, there’s something for all tastes. Have a sweet tooth? Pick up a one-of-a-kind custom dessert from Tier Couture Bakery.
“I love Local Republic for the ambience and the appetizers,” says downtown Lawrenceville resident Alayne Smith, who also enjoys Dominick’s for its excellent Italian cuisine. Smith loves the Chicken Saltimbocca and says she gave up on figuring Weight Watchers points for the restaurant’s delicious bread swimming in oil and shaved garlic.
Lawrenceville Mayor David Still says restaurants are a big part of Lawrenceville’s success as a draw for county residents. His previous office is situated across from the Strange Taco Bar, just one of many options to whet your appetite on the square and in the surrounding area.
