ARAMARK - Dining Services @ Bistro 33

General
NEC works with ARAMARK Campus Services as our partner in Dining Services on campus. "Bistro 33" has convenient hours and great selection to fulfill your cravings throughout the day!

Bistro 33 is located on the first floor of the NEC Residence Hall, at 33 Gainsborough St.  There is also a Convenience Area located in Bistro 33 where students can purchase bottled soda, chips, ice cream, toiletries, and household items, among many other things!

Meal Plan
All resident students are on the meal plan.  The current meal plan is a declining balance plan which works just like a Debit Card.  Each resident receives $950 dining points for each semester.Each time a resident makes a purchase, their NEC Student ID is scanned and the total is deducted from their balance! The balance will carry over from the Fall semester into the Spring Semester. However, at the end of the academic year any remaining Dining Points are void.

Purchasing Points

If Residents run out of points before the end of the semester, they may purchace more points at Bistro 33 with cash or credit card.  Parents of students may also do this by contacting Sara Pawluk the Director of Dining.

Non-resident students, faculty and staff may also purchase points which will be placed onto their NEC ID to use in Bistro 33.

For further information, please e-mail or call Sara Pawluk, Director of Dining Services, 617-585-1289.
