Meal Plans are loaded onto your NYU student ID card, which works just like a debit card. Simply tap your card and the meal and/or Dining Dollars will automatically deduct from your account.

To sign up or check your meal plan balance, please visit this website.

USING YOUR MEAL PLAN IN TRADITIONAL DINING LOCATIONS: 

When you visit a traditional dining location, upon entry you will tap your card and one meal will be deducted. These locations are NYU Eats at Downstein, NYU Eats at Lipton, NYU Eats at Third North and Kosher Eatery.

USING YOUR MEAL PLAN IN RETAIL LOCATIONS:

All retail locations are à la carte. When visiting a retail location or pre-ordering with GrubHub, students have the option of using Dining Dollars or a Meal Exchange (one meal deduction/swipe). 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, Dining Dollars can be used instead of, or in addition to, a meal swipe. Meal Exchanges can be used at Marketplace at Kimmel, Upstein, Dunkin', Peet's Coffee, Jasper Kane Cafe and Palladium.  

HOW DINING DOLLARS WORK:

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.

Please note that unused Dining Dollars automatically roll over from the fall to spring semester only for active spring Meal Plan members. Dining Dollars do not rollover after the spring semester is complete. All campus dining locations accept dining dollars. You can also use Dining Dollars on the Grub Hub app.  

USING GRUBHUB ON CAMPUS:
