"Through the end of 2025, New Yorkers can enjoy special tribute offers from Carvel, Golden Krust, Zabar's, Gong cha, Alidoro, and Stretch Pizza by Wylie Dufresne in honor of the MetroCard's 31-year legacy, the outlet said. The MTA will host customer outreach events at subway stations, service centers, and MTA Sessions, where riders can pose with nostalgic props like MetroCards, tokens, and tap-and-ride devices, according to the report."
""We're sending the MetroCard off in style," said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber in a press release. "MetroCard has served us well, but we're excited for the future of tap-and-ride." Featured MetroCard-themed items from restaurants include include: Alidoro - The La Tessera sandwich ("the card" in Italian): crispy chicken cutlet, sweet soppressata, fresh mozzarella, Calabrian chili vodka sauce and garlic pesto cream on a toasted semolina baguette. The sandwich will go on sale Nov. 3."
The MTA is marking the retirement of the MetroCard with a citywide celebration that includes food promotions, pop-up events, and commemorative merchandise as the system moves to OMNY contactless payment. Special tribute offers run through the end of 2025 from Carvel, Golden Krust, Zabar's, Gong cha, Alidoro, and Stretch Pizza by Wylie Dufresne. Customer outreach events will take place at subway stations, service centers, and MTA Sessions, where riders can pose with nostalgic props such as MetroCards, tokens, and tap-and-ride devices. Famous New Yorkers will participate in farewell activities and themed menu items and giveaways will be available.
