   There were HoJos all around NYC. I had a birthday party at one near the Bronx   
   Zoo; the last one was in Times Square, and it had all the old familiar menu   
   items (including the "28 flavors" which Baskin Robbins's "31 flavors" was   
   meant to outdo, the "tendersweet fried clams," and the "and-a-cookie" tipped   
   into the sundae). It closed only when the two-storey building was taken over   
   by developers.
