"Pay as You Wish" Menu

I turned on my tube to catch the nightly news last night and saw the most touching story. Restaurant owners that truly care for their community and customers. It all started when they started more people split meals. They also noticed that regulars who used to come in twice a week, were only coming in once a month. The reason? The recession.

The little italian restaurant is in New York and they cook everything from scratch. They now have at least 2 featured menu items labeled" pay as you wish" items. It's to help moral and hopefully will help keep their business going. The owner said that it didn't matter if people could only afford a quarter or 2 dollars. It's such a testament to people's generosity and the true meaning of holiday spirit;giving what you can.

The link is below. It's definitely worth your 3 minutes today =)
