Mimi Omiecinski tells Princeton Magazine the people, places and products she can’t live without

Mimi Omiecinski is a Nashville girl who is unapologetic regarding her complete love affair with the host town of the 4th College in the King’s Colony.

“I have fallen completely in love with the town and people of Princeton. I would eBay everything I own to be able to raise my son, date my husband and entertain my friends in Princeton.”

Nine years since she transplanted to Princeton, Mimi is now owner of its #1 Activity on Trip Advisor. Her business, Princeton Tour Company, has recently been recognized as the #1 Tour Operator in the Northeast by AAA Magazine. In addition, she is the founder of a celebration honoring Albert Einstein’s birthday and the number 3.14, Pi Day Princeton, attracting international coverage from the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR and more.

Interestingly enough, this award winning tourism owner has no formal business training and holds no degrees in history. In 1988, she graduated top of her class from the University of Tennessee in Social Work – a training dedicated to building strong individuals, families and communities. Some believe it’s that unconventional approach to business that holds the secret to her success.

Princeton Magazine wanted to see what the irrepressible Princeton autodidact counts as her favorite sources of inspiration and must-haves. more
