Meal Plans are loaded onto your student ID and works just like a debit card. Dining
associates will swipe your card and the meal and/or Dining Dollars will automatically
be deducted from your account.
TRADITIONAL DINING LOCATIONS (ALL-YOU-CARE-TO-EAT):
When you visit a traditional dining location, your card is swiped upon entry and one meal
is deducted. These locations are NYU Eats at Downstein, NYU Eats at Third North,
NYU Eats at Lipton and Kosher Eatery.
RETAIL LOCATIONS:
All retail locations are à la carte. To purchase a meal from Crave NYU or Upstein, please
order ahead using the Grubhub app or at a kiosk once inside. Select stations at Palladium
and Jasper Kane Café are available for Grubhub order ahead. When visiting a retail
location, students have the option of using a Meal Exchange or Dining Dollars. Meal
Exchanges typically consist of an entrée, choice of fruit, side salad, bag of chips, or side
dish and a fountain drink. If buying items separately or upgrading a Meal Exchange, Dining
Dollars can be used instead of, or in addition to, a meal swipe. When making in person
purchases, payment is easy with our contactless card scanners.
Meal Exchanges can be used at Marketplace at Kimmel, Upstein, Dunkin’, Peet’s Coffee,
Jasper Kane Café, Palladium, The Market at Sidestein, Café 370, Crave NYU, and Cafe 181.
Dining Dollars:
With Dining Dollars, you never pay taxes. Dining Dollars can be used at all on-campus
dining locations and have a dollar-for-dollar value. Students may use Dining Dollars for
items like drinks and snacks. If used at NYU Eats traditional dining locations, the door rates
of $10.18 for breakfast and $14.70 for lunch/dinner will deduct from your account. Please
note that unused Dining Dollars automatically roll over from the fall to spring semester
only for active Spring 2024 meal plan members. Dining Dollars do not rollover after the
spring semester is complete. Students will have the opportunity to donate any unused
Dining Dollars at the end of the spring semester to help fight hunger in New York City.
All campus dining locations accept Dining Dollars & Meal Exchange where applicable.
Grubhub’s Campus Dining feature allows you to order ahead from on-campus dining
locations and pick up your food. You can use Dining Dollars & Meal Exchange on the
Grubhub app. To download follow the steps below or scan the QR Code.
