Campus Dining & Catering

What's Cooking on Campus

John Jay College and its food services partner, Aladdin Campus Dining, are fully committed to providing our campus community with a wide assortment of delicious, healthy and nutritious meal options to support the diverse needs of our community. For more information on Aladdin’s services at John Jay, visit their website.

Meal Plans

Aladdin offers meal plans for students, faculty and staff, and bonus spending cash based on the value you add to your Aladdin meal plan account. Students enjoy the added benefit of tax-free spending when using their Aladdin meal plan. You can create an Aladdin meal plan account here or through the CUNY Dining Portal.

Catering

Offering everything from morning breakfast baskets to full event planning, Aladdin’s catering professionals will assist you in selecting one of their special options or design an original custom menu tailored to your specific needs and take care of all the details to make your next event memorable. 

We have three different catering menus depending on who is ordering. If you are a student club or group using Student Activity Association funds to pay, please use the Student Catering Guide. Our internal Catering Guide is for all John Jay departments using budget allocations from one of the following funding sources: Tax-Tevy, Auxiliary Corporation (Aux Corp), Research Foundation, IFR, Children’s Center, or the JJC Foundation.  For all external organizations, please contact Christine Baerga at cbaerga@jjay.cuny.edu for a copy of the external catering guide.
