Howard Johnson's Times SQ

Part of the New York Street Series, this watercolor painting captures a nostalgic piece of American history: the Howard Johnson's restaurant once located at 1551 Broadway in the heart of Times Square. The scene depicts the iconic restaurant beneath the bright theatrical signs of Broadway shows "STOMP" and "CHICAGO," preserving a moment in time when this historic chain still graced New York's entertainment district. Howard Johnson's, fondly known as "HoJo's," was once America's largest restaurant chain, pioneering the franchise concept that revolutionized the American dining industry. In its heyday during the 1960s and 1970s, the chain boasted nearly 1,000 locations across the country, each marked by their distinctive orange roofs. The restaurants were famous for their 28 flavors of ice cream, fried clams, and signature hot dogs served in grilled butter-brushed buns. This Times Square location was one of the last Howard Johnson's restaurants in operation, representing the final chapter of a brand that helped define American roadside dining for over seven decades. From its humble beginnings as a drugstore soda fountain in 1925 to becoming a nationwide phenomenon, Howard Johnson's holds a special place in American cultural history. This painting preserves the memory of this once-mighty restaurant chain, capturing its final years amid the bright lights of Broadway, before its eventual closure in 2005.
