automat

As I mentioned, my mom and GG are coming to visit this week! I'm so excited about their visit; my mom usually visits each year around this time, but GG hasn't been to the Big Apple since she was 16 (sorry to give away her age, but that was 1942!!) and her dad was in the Navy stationed in Brooklyn. She's been telling me the story of her visit for as long as I can remember. - she tried cheesecake for the very first time when she was visiting, and she got it out of an automat!

I mentioned this to Katherine on Sunday night and she knew exactly what I was talking about from her love of old movies! Check this out:



I've done some googling to find out whethere there are still any automats left in NYC. I found this one place called BAMN, but it looks like it closed in 2009. If you know of anything, give me a shout.

  1. I was so impressed with the Automat when I was in NY long ago--that picture really brought back alot of memories and fun times--If you ever do see an automat again do try it out--food was good too--Love and hugs GG
