Garden Cafe

275 W. College Street

The most popular off-campus dining spot, the Garden Café is always packed full of sophomores and juniors seeking romance, crowds of law students arguing legal minutiae, and campus intelligentsia holding court on everything else. Students always humbly give up a table or booth for faculty members, who are also common. Lunch costs from 50 cents to $1.50, and dinner from 80 cents to $2.00.
The proprietor, Rick Culley, has managed to obtain a special license to serve lunch on Sunday, an extraordinary exception to Arkham's Blue Laws. As the only eatery in Arkham open on Sunday aside from the Grafton Diner, the Garden's enduring popularity is assured. Culley wanted to open earlier on Sunday for brunch but the pastors of the town protested strongly against the direct competition of bread versus souls. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes.
