Dining Support and Campus Partnerships
Dietitian: Have allergies or dining questions? The onsite campus dietitian can help students identify safe options and answer questions. Locke’s Loft also offers an Avoiding Gluten station.
Culinary Council: Students interested in helping make the dining experience fun, healthy, and exciting are invited to join the Culinary Council. To learn more, contact the Office of Student Life at vpsl@manhattan.edu.
Babylon Micro-Farms: Locke’s Loft features a Babylon Micro-Farm, a hydroponic farming initiative created through a collaboration between Gourmet Dining and the Student Green Club. Freshly harvested herbs from the micro-farm are used to enhance flavors and garnishes in campus dining offerings.
Community: Manhattan University and Gourmet Dining proudly partner with the Friendly Fridge BX Team, the Bronx’s first community fridge, to help fight food insecurity among neighbors in need.
