Now a fading memory, the Horn & Hardart Automat in its mid-century heyday served up lamb stew and pie to millions of New Yorkers who dropped a coin into a slot and opened a small glass door to fetch their food. Three young entrepreneurs are hoping to revive the tradition - with a few modern twists - when they open Bamn! Automat in the East Village on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2006. (AP Photo/Warren Jorgensen, File)
