| While many of the pavilions
had restaurants or snack bars, the main food vendor at the Fair was Brass
Rail, which operated several different types of food service venues. The
majority of them were fast food counters serving items like hamburgers and
hot dogs. While the fare was rather routine, the snack bars are often
remembered even today due to their unusual design. The roofs consisted of
several tiers of large balloons, which made them easily visible from just
about anywhere at the Fair. In this view from the observation tower at the
New York State Pavilion, three Brass Rails can be seen along the Avenue of
the United Nations. (CD8 Set 40 #14) |
