Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is one thing that all NYU students seem to agree on: New York City has a wide selection of dining options that are sure to please even the rarest tastes. From Italian and Thai to a restaurant that boasts an all-peanut butter menu, if you want it, you can have it in NYC. Students dine in the Village and Union Square when they want great food close to campus, and other popular favorites include downtown at Mulberry Street (Little Italy) and Chinatown.

Even if you made it your life's mission, you could never eat at all the restaurants in NYC. Options range from Halal street carts to 24-hour diners to five-star formal affairs—there are always more than enough choices. Some students choose to try new places every day, sampling the city’s selection, while others choose to become regulars and stick to their favorite spots. One thing is sure, eating in NYC is always an adventure. With new places opening left and right, there are always new surprises to be had. Plus, with most restaurants in the area offering discounts to NYU students, you can't go wrong!

Endless Options

You can literally get any type of food you want at any time in Greenwich Village. Chinatown and Little Italy are also within walking distance and many restaurants will even deliver to your dorm. You could NEVER run out of places to eat.

Cheap Places to Eat

There are many cheap places to eat around NYU. People might think everything is going to be so expensive since it's NYC but no, that's not true. Near union square, there are many carts that sell food and they are cheap (around 7 to 8 dollars), convenient, and most importantly, they are good! Also, around NYU (if you have student ID with you) you get 10 to 15% discounts!

It's New York City

There's about 1000000 places to eat and if you are frugal with your spending, you can find $1 per slice pizza and $10 entree restaurants that would blow you away. People that complain about the price are not looking past Broadway or 5th Avenue. Duh... How about you go to St. Mark's Place or East Village. It's cheap and delicious.

Did You Know?
  • Milk was designated the official beverage of the state of New York in 1981.
  • In the year 1853, Native American chef George Crum invented potato chips at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. because a picky customer kept sending his French fries back to the kitchen as "too thick."
  • Every September, the Italian Feast of San Gennaro is held downtown in Little Italy for 10 days. The feast includes games, music, drinking, and most notably, food! Popular staples of San Gennaro include sausage and peppers, zeppoles (fried balls of dough covered in powdered sugar), mozzarepa (mozzarella wrapped in corn cakes), and fried Oreos.
