"The concept has been intermittently revived, most recently in Jersey City among the office buildings and shopping malls of Newport. Called Automat Kitchen, the restaurant is a sliver of a space, with windows looking out onto the street, a scatter of tables inside, and a few places to sit in the courtyard out front. The center of attention is an anteroom where 20 windows, much larger than those at the original Horn & Hardart, are arrayed in two rows. It serves, in a manner not quite matching that of the city’s original automats, commonplaces like chicken parm sandwiches, chef salads, and bowls of oatmeal — a genre that the website describes as “comfort classics reinvented.”" - Robert Sietsema
