It's true, most of the good restaurants/pubs in the area are either in the Lamberville/New Hope direction or Somerville. They are actually finally working on the Union Hotel in Flemington which will have some restaurants/bars but I don't think it will be on the level of those other downtowns.

Agreed, having lived in North Jersey the minimum 20 minute round-trip drive for anything here kind of sucks. But it is beautiful.
