Meal allowance middle market

I am moving to New York city for an investment banking role. A perk I really liked at my old job was the meal allowance if you stayed past a certain hour. Do all NYC firms have this perk? This née firm is pretty well known and similar to HSBC, Wells Fargo and Houlihan Lokey. Has anyone heard of bigger firms not offering the meal allowance?

Not that I’m aware of - dinner stipend pretty standard. My firm also pays for lunch most days.
