The Alchemist &Barrister will celebrate Halloween and the Harvest Season with an array of events in aid of the restaurant's new charity, The Mercer Street Friends FoodBank. Patrons of Princeton's iconic bar and restaurant can contribute to the effort to fight hunger in Mercer County by donating canned goods, and by buying paper pumpkins containing an anti-hunger message to be posted throughout the bar. Paper Pumpkins are available for a donation of $2 for one or $5 for three.
A pumpkin carving contest on October 27 from 12-3 PM will offer families a chance to get into the Halloween spirit and kids are encouraged to bring a can of tuna,pasta, fruits or vegetables to enter the contest. They will receive free cookies and apple cider with prizes and giveaways. A&B managers will judge the best pumpkins.

Efforts will be ongoing, according to Executive Chef/Owner Arthur Kukoda. The A&B isknown for its community involvement, especially during the annual Longbeard Contest and St. Patrick's Day Celebration that raises funds for a selected localcharity. "We felt that by focusing on a single charity throughout the year, we could do more to raise money and awareness." Chef Kukoda says. Plans are underway for the months ahead, marking Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day and some exciting new additions to the A&B's legendary Celtic Celebration on March 17, 2014.
