    Memories!

    I loved reading this book & bringing back memories of all my visits to the Automat as a child & teen! I lived in Manhattan growing up & spent many a happy meal at the Automat ! I loved the recipes therein & am anxious to try some of them again. Thank you!

    Wonderful reading!

    Brought back many childhood memories.

    Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade we always got our hot chocolate at the H&H automat, 13th & Market, to keep us warm while we watched parade go by!

    A truly nostalgic journey

    I grew up in New York City and always enjoyed a visit to the Automat in Manhattan. I felt so grown up when my mom handed me a dollar to get nickels in return. Picking out meals and which pie to eat was fantastic. This book , the history and the recipes is a magic door to my childhood in the 1950s.... fantastic!!
