Choose from two parties tonight — the U.S. 1 writers party, honoring the authors of the Summer Fiction Issue, and the Princeton Chamber Business After Business networking session.

The U.S. 1 Newspaper party, free, is at Labyrinth Bookstore on Nassau Street. It starts at 5:30 and the chit chat and noshing make way for acknowledgements of each contributor at about 6:15 or 6:30.

The chamber event, $25 at the door for members, $40 for others, is at Phrog Personal Training Studio, 376 Wall Street in Research Park, and you’ll get some pretty serious food and drink and networking, 5 to 7-ish p.m.

If you miss both, there’s a new bar in town to try anytime.

The heat has broken, let the good times roll.
