Just Drop it in the Slot; a Look at the Horn and Hardart Automat and its Legacy
Loading...
Uploaded by awaseniu on Aug 6, 2009
The Horn and Hardart Automat is part of the American psyche. Unfortunately, it is gone. Slideshow Director Alan G. Wasenius takes a look back to when it was king of the fast food restaurants. You will be taken from its beginnings in 1902 until that last Automat closed, and beyond.

I think they should bring them back here in the United States.

What super memories! I remember buying lemon pie and coffee back in 64 and I think I didn't spend a dollar. The one I visited was near Times Square, it was in January and there were bums around I guess sheltering from the cold weather, although it was clean and efficient. Was good for a cheap bite. Since then I have visited NYC more than a dozen times. Great city!
