The food is similar to the quality that you would find at a fast food joint. It really depends on what time of day you go... if you go when it's not busy, there is a chance that the food has been sitting there for a while. It was a little expensive also, about 2 dollars for a fairly small chicken sandwich. But I suppose that's the price you pay for convenience. Alltogether, it's a nice place if you're in a hurry or looking for a snack. I live pretty close to this particular automat.

It is kind of cool in europe that FEBO keeps it alive and well. Wish I was in NY to check it out. Seems like a great idea to bring it back.

Never knew what it meant at first, but I wish I could have seen the old one in Times Square. Looked cool.

Miss it a lot. Live in Virginia now. They had a wall from a Horn and Hardart Automat on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, the museum of American History. I believe it's closed now for renovations. Used to go to the original automat when I was a kid in NY. Miss it a lot. Live in Virginia now.
