4 HOW I CAN USE MY MEAL PLAN? Meal Plans are loaded to your student ID and works like a debit card. Dining employees will swipe your card and the meal and/or Dining Dollars will automatically deduct 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 Weinstein Passport, Third North, Kosher Eatery and Lipton Hall. RETAIL LOCATIONS: All of our retail locations are a-la-carte. Your card will be swiped upon exit for meal(s) and/or Dining Dollars. Retail locations offer a Meal Exchange, which consist of an entree or sandwich, 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. These locations are Kimmel Market Place, Weinstein Food Court, U-Hall Commons Café, Dunkin Donuts, Peet's Coffee and Tea, Jasper Kane Café and all of our C-stores. DINING DOLLARS: Dining Dollars can be used at all on-campus dining locations and have a dollar for dollar value. Students use Dining Dollars for smaller items like drinks and snacks. If used at a Traditional Dining Location, the door rates of $8.95 for breakfast and $12.95 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 meal plan members. Take advantage of the Tapingo Mobile Ordering App, and have your orders prepared and waiting for pick up. ** NYU Dining Starbucks and Argo Tea ONLY accept Dining Dollars. 4
