If there is one thing we’ve learned in 2020, it’s that there is a benefit from getting food to go without interacting with anybody. One new restaurant in New Jersey is capitalizing on that idea in a way that’s both retro and futuristic. Automat Kitchen, located in Jersey City, is an old restaurant concept made fresh for 2021!

Automats may feel like something out of the future, but they're really from the past.

The idea behind the automat was classic foods for a reasonable price. You'd pay a small amount of money and access a full meal in one of these boxes.

The automat of today is different, though. At Automat Kitchen, you place an order and pay online, then head to the automat to pick your meal up from the box you were given.
