The Automat
Just cataloged a neat book about automats. Of course, the art deco was the first thing to catch my eye, but the concept of self-serve "fast" food also piqued my curiosity. The original American automat company went bankrupt in the 80s. However, apparently the automat is back in NYC. Wish we had one. Thus concludes our history lesson for today. Happy weekending!

reminds me of the giant vending machine that used to be near Dupont Circle in DC. that thing was fantastic--you could get, like, baba ganoush there, as well as toilet paper, or dryer sheets. it was awesome.
