Was; cafeteria, actually. Unfortunately, they went out of business a few
decades ago. They were "automats". There were walls with little
windows; you put coins in a slot to unlock the window, and opened it
(sorta like opening a PO box) to remove the food item behind the window.
They also had a food line like other cafeterias.
Some of their windows are now in the Smithsonian, but that's all that's
left of them. *sigh*
