 Lake Placid, New York
Saranac Ave

 

Although original formulas and recipes are not exactly followed at Lake Placid, the Restaurant still serves foods that were once Howard Johnson's staples like Mr. Russo's fried clams! However note the lack of presentation and the missing cole slaw.
 
 
 
 

 Since my 2001 visit, the Restaurant was painted in harsher colors and advertising was added to the exterior. Most remarkable was the ad that Steven LJ Russo discovered that was nearly hidden on the side of the building that featured the traditional Orange Roof logo!!

 Brian Florence and his friends enjoyed a meal at Lake Placid too! But Brian noted that the Restaurant does not serve authentic Howard Johnson's ice cream, but a local brand instead.
