Come to the Plaza to enjoy a “Karma-Free” lunch that has been served in the plaza by the Hare Krishna since 1977. Lay under a tree , enjoy the Hare Krishna lunch and take a nap. It’s a UF tradition!
Walking through there is like going to the middle of the room at a high school dance - you're basically asking the universe for attention. Expect to be interrogated or prodded about joining something.
Recently renovated, so now it's better than ever!
If you're real quite, you can hear the faint echo of Reverend Jed and Disco Cindy inciting riots back in the 80s.
Def. get the Krishna lunch when it's out there.
