Where can I go for
a bite to eat?
On campus: There are vending machines in practically every building on campus
(usually in the basement).
For a buffet-style meal, the University Commons is
a great place to dine. This is where most of the
non-commuting students eat, therefore a great place to meet people. The Commons
is located adjacent
to the Simon Forum and across from the Baseball Field (from the main Commuter
Parking Lot). For a deli
style dining experience, head over to the Snack
Bar in the University
Center. This is the place to eat
if you're looking for a quiet, well prepared meal at a decent price. (I suggest
the spicy chicken wrap... muy tasty). Too
late for the snack bar or the commons? Give The
Other End or The
Space a try.
Off Campus: The Bagel Chateau. Best bagels around. Period. (make
a right out of Drew... left under
the train tracks... into town... that's main street. Bagel Chateau is in the
first block on the right).
Estimated walking time: 15 minutes round trip. Domino Pizza. Definitely
a staple of outside-drew food
because of their late delivery hours (973/593-0070).
