Coming back early in January? Morrison Dining will be open with limited service and reduced door prices

Meal Plan Dining for the Spring 2026 semester begins with lunch on Tuesday, January 13th, the same day undergraduate residence halls open for the semester. If you'll be in town before then, meal swipes aren't active yet, but you're welcome to dine at any of Cornell Dining's cafés, and Morrison Dining will be open!

To reflect the limited meal service at Morrison Dining as our staff rotates through a deep cleaning of each platform in the dining room, we're offering reduced door prices from January 4th-12th:

Breakfast: $8.00
Lunch: $12.00
Brunch: $12.00
Dinner: $16.00 

Pay with Big Red Bucks (BRBs) with no sales tax added, or add 8% New York State sales tax if you're paying by another method such as credit card, CornellCard, or MealChoice.

Each meal will feature a hot line with various options including vegan offerings and pasta, and the salad bar, fruit, and dessert stations will be available. Staff and faculty may continue to use MealChoice lunch pricing.
