Dining out as a student can get expensive fast, but Nosh’d is here to change the game. If you’ve heard of inKind, the popular app that gives foodies 15% cash back in dining credits at upscale, multicultural restaurants, then you’re going to love Nosh’d, its student-focused sister app. What makes Nosh’d even better for college students? Instead of earning credit, you get a straight-up 15% discount at participating restaurants and cafes, which include the same diverse spots featured in the inKind app.
Sign Up and Save
Getting started on Nosh’d is a breeze. All you need to do is link your student email account (.edu), and you’re good to go! Plus, Nosh’d frequently offers some awesome sign-up bonuses—like $20 off your first purchase of $30 or more. With promotions like these, it’s almost too easy to save while dining out.
One of my favorite offers I’ve snagged so far? An $8 credit at Maman, which I put toward a Paris to New York Croissant (I’ll be reviewing some of DC’s best pastries later!). Who says treating yourself has to break the bank?
How Nosh’d Works
Paying with Nosh’d is super simple. Once you’ve picked your restaurant, just ask your server or cashier for the check number (it’s usually on your receipt). Then, enter that number into the Nosh’d app to complete your payment. Your 20% discount is applied automatically, and any active promotions are reflected instantly—no extra steps needed.
D.C.’s Best on a Budget
If you’re in the D.C. area, you’re in luck—Nosh’d has a ton of participating restaurants, ranging from casual eats to fine dining. Some of my personal faves? Check out Mi Casa in Dupont or Federalist Pig in Adams Morgan for some great vibes outside the Georgetown bubble. If you’re feeling fancy, hit up one of José Andrés’s restaurants, like Zaytinya or China Chilcano. Closer to campus, you can’t go wrong with El Centro, Maman, or the trendy Susheria.
