    A dime for a sandwich? I am surprised they didn’t update that to a more current price such as five bucks.

    I agree with Jeff! Although who knows how long the sandwiches have been in there? Unless they are replaced every day.

    To anyone my age, Horn and Hardart’s line of Automats /was/ New York City. Part of what did them in was the rise in prices; it’s not so convenient to buy a sandwich with fifty dimes. So there’s really no point to bring it up to date. The Automats are gone, like dramatic and comedy radio, typewriters, rumble seats, world’s fairs, liveried elevator operators, and double features.

    It wasn’t all machinery. The back opened up directly to a real, live kitchen, and the food was kept fresh—New York is kinda particular about its restaurants, especially the ones that are popular with tourists, reporters, and businessmen.

    Those were the days my friend. We’d thought they’d never end. We’d sing and dance forever and a day. We’d live the life we choose. We’d fight and never lose. Those were the days. Oh, yes those were the days.

    If you can actually remember silver half-dimes, you belong in the cast of “Gasoline Alley” as Walt’s grandfather.
