NYC Pre-K to Grade 8 Lunch Menu
Every NYC elementary and middle school on the standard menu. New York City serves this one menu across the whole system, so it is the menu for every school on this edition — there is no separate per-school version. Lunch is free for every NYC public school student.
Breakfast and lunch are both below, for every day of the week.
The DOE publishes item names and its own vegetarian, vegan and halal markers. It publishes no calorie or allergen data, so none is shown here and none is estimated. See the school meals guide for what the labels mean.
