The 2015 Waiters’ Race

Waiters Race

DON’T SPILL IT! The walkways at Princeton Shopping Center transformed into a race course last Thursday for the fifth annual Waiters’ Race, sponsored by the Princeton Merchants Association. After Mayor Liz Lempert kicked off the event, 70 men and women from 15 local restaurants balanced glasses of water and BAI beverage bottles minus their caps on trays as they raced around the courtyard. The first place winner for the women was Mediterra’s Emily Najjar, while the men’s champion was Dan Speck of Witherspoon Grill. Coming in second were Kelly Ann Bamford and Mario Lorenzana of Teresa Caffe. Third place honors went to Lauren Sabogal of Blue Point Grill and Vandyke Garcia of Yankee Doodle Tap Room. All of the prizes were donated by local merchants. (Photo by Julia Marshall)
