Per diem check

$38.00 USD for dinner: the US federal (GSA) dinner allowance for New York City, FY2027 (part of the $92 daily meals rate). Many companies use government rates as their benchmark. None of our dinner picks typically fit it, so plan on the company covering the difference or choosing a set menu.

Fit is based on our price estimates, before tax and tip. Rate source ↗
