Most students at UD find it easy to walk to Main St or any restaurant in town to get their cravings satisfied. But, let’s face it, being college students brings on many different stresses, forcing students to become tired, lazy and in need of a good meal. This is when most students turn to the wonderful delivery services offered in town.
But what most students in Newark do not know is that GrubHub delivers many of the delicious foods that restaurants do not deliver themselves. Check out the awesome options and order ’em without getting off your couch.
