Horn & Hardart - Revivals

Revivals

Horn & Hardart opened two 1950s themed Dine-O-Mat restaurants in New York. They closed in 1989 after less than two years in operation. More recently, the Horn & Hardart name was used for a now-defunct chain of coffee shops in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Horn & Hardart Coffee Co. closed its last coffee shop in 2005.

Bamn!, a version of the current automats used in the Netherlands, was located in New York's East Village at 37 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, but has since closed.

In the early 1990s several entrepreneurs bought the Philadelphia company (Horn & Hardart Baking Co.) out of Bankruptcy. While they did not open any restaurants, they did reproduce a dozen of the most famous food items. Everything from Mac and Cheese, Harvard Beets, and Rice Pudding to Cucumber Salad. The food was packaged fresh, refrigerated, and sold in supermarkets throughout Philadelphia and New Jersey. The food was still available up until 2002, then disappeared from the stores.
