An Automat just opened in St. Mark's Place in NYC! I will never leave this wonderful city!
From NY Times: "One look at Bamn's hot-pink color scheme and it's obvious this is not an old Horn & Hardart Automat, though this new spot at 37 St. Marks Place (Second Avenue) also serves its food via coin-fed machines. The menu is totally modern, with roast pork buns; Japanese-seasoned beef sliders; pizza dumplings; and Hawaiian musubi, a kind of open-face beef sandwich, all $1 to $3.
The owners, Robert Kwak, David Leong and Nobu X, actually took their inspiration from updated Automats they visited in Amsterdam. They hired Kevin Reilly , the chef at the Water Club, to fine-tune the food and create 39 sauces for thick-cut Belgian fries.
Their compact spot is open around the clock, and has a small counter where the fries and swirls of soft-serve green tea ice cream are dispensed."
