automat

"New York's most famous Automat was its first, located in Times Square, but Abbott chose to depict the restaurant at Columbus Circle, well-known as a nighttime gathering place for musicians and cabaret-goers. She photographed it from the General Motors Building across the street on the same winter day she photographed the Circle itself. The two images are complementary symbols of modern New York life. "Abbott's photograph illustrates the restaurant's mechanized character. With the sharp diagonal of coin-operated, Deco-styled windows receding indefinitely into space, the photograph shows food and its consumers on a culinary assembly line." (more)-- Museum of the City of New York

Wow, has anyone ever played a video game called Bioshock? Art deco heaven just like this.

I took this photo at the Lunch Hour exhibit at the Schwarzman building and didn't realize the reference until I got my film back!

Hahaha omg this is a funny picture and it's of high quality aswell. I'd love to have this as a large poster on my wall. It makes me laugh all the time I see it :)) Yours Antonia Admin of the Group "Greatest Photographs in 2009"

I've never mailed a curb. But if I do, I'll put it in a box.

Als proefje een paar tagsuggesties: Likör Tankstelle, alcohol, sterke drank. Sterk punt dat hier in twee talen wordt beschreven!

This is just fantastic! What a photographic testimony. Screenpunk, many thanks for sharing this one! (very nice&elegant of you to have that thought)

That looks like the ones in the alley of the Kurhaus in Scheveningen.

We used this photo as a source of inspiration for our National Vending Machine (Nationale Automatiek). Great to see it here and to see the resemblance:

@JasperVisser Great to hear our photo was an inspiration!
