Automat, 977 Eighth Avenue, Manhattan.

from New York Public Library

    "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."

    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!
