There is a Face Mask Vending Machine on Delancey Street
There is now an easy way to purchase a face mask during the coronavirus crisis. This handy vending machine on the eastern end of Delancey Street.
The dispenser sits on a dolly, and is nestled into a small carve-out of the storefront at 156 Delancey Street. It sells KN95 masks for $4.00 apiece.
Yesterday was the trial run for the vending machine, and if well-received, will return to this spot.
The stunt is the handiwork of the website RapidMask2Go.
This commercial space, which previously hosted an Inokim electric scooter store, has otherwise been vacant for months.
