The Lunch
According to krishnalunch.com, the lunch has been being served by Hare Krishnas since 1971.
Each day's menu is different, but the menu repeats each week, making Wednesday spaghetti day and Monday lentil day.
Wednesdays, according to Krishna lunch surveys and the length of lines, is the most popular day.
The Krishna lunch slogan, "Karma free meals," reflects the Hare Krishna belief that serving vegetarian food is a spiritual mission.
The Krishna lunch program is run by volunteers who serve the lunch. And at krishnalunch.com, there is a form to sponsor a full day of Krishna lunch. The lunch costs $4 for those without cards, $30 for a 10-meal card and $20 for a 6-meal card. Extra helpings are unlimited and free.
