NYC Restaurants

The days of the Automat are making a comeback. Eatsa is offering a futuristic, fully automated dining experience just steps away from Grand Central and Bryant Park where there are not cashiers and no servers. Food is ordered via electronic kiosk or mobile app and arrives moments later in one if several glass cubbies flashing your name. Eatsa describes its vegetarian food as "wholesome" and "globally-inspired." Dishes include a Hummus & Falafel Bowl with tzatziki, feta and kalamata olives; the Smokehouse Bowl with BBQ portobello, grilled corn and crispy onion strings; and No Worry Curry combining things like arugula and spaghetti squash in a red Thai curry sauce. Breakfast bowls are also available. Most dishes run under seven bucks.  See more
