In case you’ve ever been wandering around the East Village at 4:30am and had a hankering for food in a warmed up box, you’re in luck. A group of young entrepreneurs are launching Bamn!, a culinary throwback that hasn’t been seen in the city since 1991.

“What’s old is new again,” said Robert Kwak, 30, co-founder of the new Automat. “We want to give the younger generation the experience.”

The name is meant to suggest speed - bam! put your money in; bam! grab your snack - and the idea that the food is damn good.

While the automats of old offered community tables and cafeteria sized portions, the new automat is aware of the modern New Yorker’s disdain for interacting with anyone and has
decided to do away with the tables and the larger portions.

Bamn! plans on selling smaller, bite sized portions of like chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks.

A sealed, glass cube where you can buy food with change after it sits in a box and random people reach in and grab stuff? Sign me up. I’ll be the one next to the 50 homeless guys eating a chicken nugget.
