Best value date: Home Grown Cafe;

Home Grown might not be the first restaurant that comes to students' minds when they're looking for an inexpensive dinner date, but it's not hard to choose a combination of menu items that will guarantee a delicious and relatively inexpensive meal. Many of the dishes at Home Grown - most notably the macaroni and cheese - are big enough to share, manager Leslie Felix says. "There are very few people who can finish it. It's decadence in a bowl. It's macaroni and cheese elevated to the level it should be," Felix says. If you're not full after splitting the mac and cheese with your dinner date, Home Grown offers a variety of desserts, many of which are designed to share as well. Another way to keep a date at Home Grown cost-effective is to order a salad or a wrap, says Home Grown server Serene Hunter. Home Grown is a popular date spot - even for Newark residents - so be sure to make reservations if you plan to eat there on a Saturday night. Felix believes it's because of the restaurant's atmosphere. "It's not your typical college restaurant or bar," Felix says. "It's cozy enough. We try to provide an environment where you can sit and relax and talk and have a good meal. You don't have to feel rushed."
