Although the exhibition at the
New York City Public Library , "Lunch Hour NYC ," is over , there is an online exhibit
HERE . It is fun to see the links have been put on the 'doors' of the Automat...
From the website (as is the picture above): " Lunch Hour NYC looks back at more than a century of New York lunches , when the city’s early power brokers invented what was yet to be called “power lunch ,” local charities established a 3-cent school lunch , and visitors with guidebooks thronged Times Square to eat lunch at the Automat. Drawing on materials from throughout the Library , the exhibition explores the ways in which New York City—work-obsessed , time-obsessed , and in love with ingenious new ways to make money—reinvented lunch in its own image."
