Howard Johnson’s
Everyone adored Howard Johnson’s fried clam as well as the 28 flavors of ice cream they had. There used to be over 1,000 branches in the ’60s and ’70s. The franchise was founded in 1925 and is now holding on with everything they have left. Unfortunately, the New York restaurant just closed its last branch.

Houlihan’s
Founded in 1972 when the co-founders bought a previous haberdashery named Tom Houlihan’s Men’s Wear, the architect referred to the project as “Houlihan’s Old Place”. Since then, the name stuck. The company did everything by the book but they somehow landed themselves in $50 million in debt and had to close down a lot of locations.
