Zap2it locates the ex-Howard Johnson's used in the latest episode of Mad Men: It's now a Regency Inn and Suites in Baldwin Park, CA. And the New York Daily News reached out to one of the two remaining Howard Johnson's restaurants. Said Ron Butler, owner of the Lake Placid, NY location, who's run it since 1958: "In 1956 the clam plate cost $1.45 and now it costs $13.95, but you get the food bar with that, so it is actually a good deal."
