Seva Cafe, Long Beach

After the Walk for Hope, we payed a visit to the Seva Cafe, which is an experiment in "pay it forward" taking place in Long Beach. It is a really interesting dining experience, where there are not prices on any of the menu items. The staff is made up of volunteers who are serving you, cooking the food, cleaning the dishes, etc.. and when your bill arrives it is for $0, since your meal has already been paid for by someone who ate there before you. You can then pay as much as you choose to buy a meal for the next group of people to eat at the cafe.
In addition to this already wonderful dining experience, we were fortunate enough to meet up with our favorite monk, Rev. Heng Sure, who happened to be in LA and stopped by for a visit. Then to top it all off, we celebrated our friend Guri's birthday! It was a night full of great converstation, wonderful company, and an unbeatable dining environment. The food was great too! If you're ever in LA on a Saturday night, definitely give it a try! Here's some pictures: Seva Cafe.
