An old timey fast food restaurant

June 9, 1902: The first Automat opens in Philadelphia.

And for some more old timey Automat goodness: A Century of Automated Food Service.

Growing up, I seemed to read a ton of books where people were always going to Automats...also, sitting at drugstore counters and drinking egg creams...it's been my dream to go to one ever since.

It totally makes my day to find out they still exist. Thanks!
