ID Express is a debit card system you can use to make purchases with your Ithaca ID card. Simply put money on your card at the Office of the Bursar, then use it at convenience stores and other locations on campus.

Growing up in New York City, I could pick up my phone, and a great meal would be on my doorstep in minutes. When I got to Ithaca, I didn’t have a car, and I didn’t want to take the bus every time I craved a slice of pizza, especially if I was pulling an all-nighter. I soon learned that many Ithaca restaurants deliver. With my trusty speed dial in hand (or with a click on campusfood.com), I ordered to my heart’s -- and stomach’s -- content.
So when you find yourself suffering from late-night cravings, just check out the list below for some of Ithaca’s top picks for dorm delivery.
