Tipple + Rose Tea Parlor ribbon cutting January 13
In July 2015, Tipple + Rose Tea Parlor and Apothecary opened its doors in Atlanta. Dubbed an eclectic, vintage yet cozy parlor, Tipple + Rose was created to be the ultimate urban escape. The parlor serves over 140 teas and tisanes, afternoon tea, homemade small bites for lunch, a wide array of locally made desserts and Doria's sweet and savory scones. After growing a following in in Atlanta, Doria Roberts, an African-American woman born and raised in Trenton, recently reopened the tea parlor in Princeton. What makes this parlor especially unique is that it has a history of providing items that focus on wellness and self-care, via its apothecary/retail space. Tipple + Rose is a great place to grab items, such as bath and body products, tea-making accessories, artisanal foods, organic bulk herbs and spices and more. The success of the ribbon cutting event on January 13th to celebrate the official opening of the dining room, in which afternoon tea will now be served, was attended by Princeton Mayor Mark Freda and Councilwoman Michelle Lambros.

The OK Trenton project at Passage Theatre
The OK Trenton Project is a story about a group of Trenton students who spent their summer creating a sculpture entitled, "Helping Hands," five years ago. During the summer program, the students learned the skills necessary to build something out of nothing to have their work publicly displayed in their community. However, four days after the sculpture was installed, it was removed as a result of anonymous complaints stating that the piece resembled a gang symbol. Based on a true story, and featuring interviews from those involved, you can catch the main stage production of “The OK Trenton Project” on Thursday, February 10th through Sunday, February 27th at the Passage Theatre. Written by David Lee White, Richard Bradford and the members of The OK Trenton ensemble, the production is directed by C. Ryanne Domingues. According to Passage Theatre, “The OK Trenton Project is an experience that explores the role art plays in our community and the consequences we face when it’s taken away.” Click here to purchase tickets.
