Marianne, I went to that automat you mention. It was not good. Some of the items they had were fried, and you can't leave fried food sitting for very long. One of their things was fried macaroni and cheese balls. The outside was hot, but when I bit into it, it was cold in the middle. It was really terrible food.
I understand they needed a cheap location to make it work, but St. Marks Place is only busy at night and the people in that area weren't interested in the novelty of an automat. Perhaps if they had located around Times Square or around one of the major office buildings they would have done better.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
