Operating
by 1960, the Vestal Howard Johnson's complex was the sixth to have
been opened in New York. It featured an early standardised plan
with a detached Restaurant and an A-frame Gate lodge. The layout
originally offered all exterior entry guest rooms in one and two-story
buildings arranged in a "U" behind the Gate Lodge and
Restaurant. |

Transformed
into a Hooters during the middle 2000s, the former Howard Johnson's
Restaurant did not discover long-lasting success. At the end of
the decade it had become the Plaza Diner (as you will discover
on the next page, it became the last evidence of the HoJo's complex).
