Welcome to NYU Dining! NYU Dining Services offers a wide variety of meal plans that afford students the opportunity to enjoy nutritious dining options across campus. Diners will continue to enjoy expanded evening hours to accommodate their hectic schedules.

We have responded to the ideas and comments set forth by NYU students. NYU Dining has updated menus to reflect the most current university dining trends and added services that reflect the needs of a diverse community. We will continue to offer a “meals to go” program and different special events such as Sunday Brunch at Palladium, Restaurant Nights and Meatless Mondays — just to name a few.

HOW MEAL PLANS WORK

VA LU E VA R I E T Y CO N V E N I E N C E

What is included in a Meal Exchange?

» Entrée or Sandwich

» Choice of Whole Fruit, Side Salad, Bag of Chips, or Side Dish

» Fountain Drink

MEAL EXCHANGES

Meal exchange allows you to use your meal swipes at retail dining locations. At the Weinstein Food Court, Sidestein Market, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, U Hall Common’s Café, the Market Place at the Kimmel Center, Palladium, Dunkin’ Donuts, Jasper Connection and Jasper Café there are certain items that you may choose from which constitute a “meal”.

If you have a medical condition or disability that warrants an exception to the meal plan policy, you must submit a request for a reasonable housing accommodation with supporting documentation to the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities. For forms and additional information go to www.nyu.edu/csd or contact the Moses Center at (212)998-4980 or [email protected].

SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS

DINING DOLLARS

Washington Square & Brooklyn Dining Dollars can be used at all on-campus dining locations and have a dollar for dollar value. The NYUCard works just like a debit card. Simply swipe your card and the amount is automatically deducted from your account.

Dining Dollars cannot be used for the purchase of gift cards. Members may purchase additional Dining Dollars in blocks of $15, $25, $50 or $100 by logging on to https://housing.nyu.edu/MealPlans any time after the meal plan activation/deactivation deadline. Dining Dollars will be charged to your student bursar account. Unused Dining Dollars automatically roll over from the fall to spring semester.

MEAL ALLOWANCE

Each time you visit one of our residential dining halls or use a meal exchange at one of our retail locations, a meal will be deducted from your account. Meal Plans offer a certain number of meals per semester. Meals do not expire on a week to week basis. However, any unused meals remaining at the end of the semester will not carry over to the following semester.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has rated NYU one of the friendliest vegetarian campuses for our vegan and vegetarian programs. Our specially trained chefs create delicious entrées using fresh vegetables, legumes, and grains serving a wide variety of vegetarian dishes every day, at every meal, in every dining location.

Find Made Without Gluten selections in all residential dining locations. We have made a commitment to ensure there are plenty of non-detected gluten options available and have dedicated toasters, cutting boards and cooking utensils used in the preparation of made without gluten foods.

The Kosher Eatery at Weinstein is a 100% KOF-K supervised kosher program that serves daily meals and includes a Shabbat meal on Fridays. Meat entrees are served on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays dairy foods are served. We also offer Kosher “grab n go” meals in Weinstein Food Court, the Marketplace at Kimmel, P.O.D. Market in University Hall, and Jasper Café.

At Washington Square, Aramark’s Healthy for Life is an easy-to-follow nutrition information program. The goal of the program is to point the way to healthier lifestyles by highlighting “better-for-you” menu selections. Look for Just 4U icons on menus in residential dining halls to help guide you to foods that are vegan, vegetarian, low in calories and low in fat. The program also identifies foods that are organic and grown locally. For more information, pick up a Healthy for Life brochure from any residential dining location. At Brooklyn, Lackmann Culinary Services offers an Eat Right Live Well program. The program encourages guests to make small changes for lasting results. Through Nutrition centers, monthly newsletters, and our Under3 Program, which offers grab ‘n’ go meals, snacks and desserts under 300 calories, we implement healthy eating in all aspects of our operations. We look to offer healthy, well balanced dining options for every part of the day and to customize our programs to fit the needs of our customers.

The Kimmel Marketplace, Kosher Eatery, and the Palladium feature a Halal meal at their Halal Station from Monday-Friday and the Kosher Eatery is a supervised Glatt facility. Café Spice is an on campus vendor who provides authentic Indian cuisine consisting of Halal chicken that is humanely raised, antibiotic free and vegetarian fed. Find their dishes at the Café Spice station at the Palladium or their frozen meals to go at the Kimmel Maketplace.

DIETARY OPTIONS

NYU Dining Services makes every effort to accommodate students’ special dietary requirements and provide a selection of dining options. Location managers will work with meal plan members to prepare meals according to their personal needs. Students with special dietary requirements or food allergies can contact Ann Marie Powell, Director of Dining Services, at (212) 998-4279 or [email protected].

• Recycling fryer oil, which is 100% diverted to biodiesel.

• Reducing food waste by donating unused portions of food to Two Birds One Stone and local food banks.

Waste Stream Management

Green Buildings• Operating environmentally friendly and energy efficient locations.• Using ‘green’ and ‘blue’ cleaning products.

WE ARE LISTENING

Your voice counts! NYU Dining is enhanced and shaped by the suggestions and input from our students. We understand students have unique needs and want to provide the types of services that work best with their lifestyles.

Once a semester, we conduct our Dining Styles online survey for all meal plan members and non-members to participate in. This survey lets our customers evaluate us on a variety of criteria including, but not limited to: price, service, food quality, and food variety. As a thank you for taking the survey, participants will be entered into a drawing and have a chance to win some great prizes.

Our new VOC or Voice of the Consumer program, solicits live-feedback from our customers. You can scan a QR code at any of our locations and take a short survey about your most recent visit. It will immediately notify the manager of that location so that they can praise their employees for a job well done or correct any issues you may have had with your visit.

DINING ADVISORY BOARD

► DINING SURVEYS ► FOCUS GROUPS ► FEEDBACK

Become a member of the Dining Advisory Board! Participation is easy. It does not require much time and will contribute to the NYU community.

As a member of the Dining Advisory Board, you will review program and protocol. You will also provide valuable feedback about customer service, speed of service, food quality, cleanliness, merchandising, and overall impression. All of our meetings will take place at one of the dining halls.

Student involvement is essential in making sure we provide the best dining experience.
