Lake Placid,

Saranac Ave |

Not original to the Howard
Johnson's restaurant concept, Lake Placid's food bar "room"
was added in 1990. Since the Restaurant is no longer part of
any chain and is local in nature, it is free to experiment with
new promotions and non-traditional HoJo's foods. |

Even as the Restaurant
no longer resembles a Howard Johnson's and serves many non-original
HoJo's foods, it's owners appeal to the nostalgic value of the
once great name. Brian's shot above shows the current menu cover
(2005). |

It is perhaps ironic
that Lake Placid, the least authentic looking of the last five
Howard Johnson's, would make the greatest appeal to the Company's
storied past by framing old menus and advertisements placing
them strategically throughout the Restaurant. |
