If you have watched the Cohen Brothers’ movie Inside Llewyn Davis then your curiosity was no doubt piqued at the appearance of the Harvey House, a set piece partway through the film where three characters stop for coffee—and other stimulants—in a dining room that straddles the tollway. This was a painstaking recreation of a real restaurant on the Illinois Tollway, with the dining hall at Pace University Briarcliff Campus in upstate New York standing in for the long-departed actual Harvey House. It recreated what was one of five original Harvey House diners that offered a high highway view. The chain was at one time managed by motelier Howard Johnson’s. I don’t know about you, but I’d gladly pay extra to eat my road trip meals in a diner that’s actually “on the road.” Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day.  It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged. Image: Harvey-House.info
