 Clifton Park, New York
Plank Rd. & Old Rt 146 @ I-87

 

Opened in 1977, Clifton Park was a late stand-alone Restaurant. It was a non-standard Mansard, and it was built adjacent to a motel insuring that it would have patrons. Mr. Russo noted that employees at the adjacent Best Western recalled the Restaurant as a Howard Johnson's, and one gentleman even remembered that it was converted in either 1985 or 1986.
 
 
 
 

 
 

 Built around the time that many Restaurants lost their Dairy Bars, it is not known if Clifton Park had one or not. However if it did have one, it likely would have been placed on the side of the building shown below where the windows are located.
