Sometimes, you just can’t stomach another night of dining hall food — we’ve been there. As broke college students, though, a nice dinner out isn’t always an option.
Whether it’s a cheeseburger or pizza; pop-culture’s favorite Chinese takeout or Mexican cuisine; or a light and healthy smoothie bowl to an indulgent, treat-yourself dessert, there’s plenty of options for delivery on a budget.
Spoon University has you covered when it comes to cheap takeout in South Orange, NJ — and even cheaper delivery.
