NEW YORK (PIX11) – The resurgence of something vintage is once again capturing attention as an internet sensation restarts.
Mini Print Vending Machine
in New York City.
The nostalgia-inducing machine that produces miniature artworks when fed four quarters has found a new place at the New York Botanical Garden’s gift shop.
In its latest version, the vending machine offers prints based on the Orchid Show at the Gardens, as well as images of different flowers and the conservatory dome. Those who might discover it has sold out are advised to return later because the machine gets refilled periodically.
The Mini Print Vending Machine gained widespread appeal when it was featured at the Grand Central Terminal’s Holiday Market in December 2024.
People queued up at Grand Central to have the opportunity to obtain a small artwork featuring New York City symbols such as the MetroCard, a bagel, or the central clock within the station.
