Someone has now posted the ad (not great quality) on Youtube:

Having grown up in Aquebogue, it’s kind of weird to see it on TV.

We had dinner at the Modern Snack Bar last night. And while I was buying a lemon meringue pie to take home, spotted the framed Times Review article on the filming of the ad, hanging next to the cash register. Calling it ‘dinner and a show’, John brought out the DVD player and gave us a private screening of the commercial.

I saw the ad tonight and after not being at the Modern Sanck Bar since the early ’70s when I was a small child, I recognized the sign and flipped out, saying, “That’s Modern Snack Bar!” I could taste the clams and cole slaw -- hadn’t even thought about it in 30 years. Maybe I should buy a Highlander.

I’m sure I recognized the Modern Snack Bar sign in the ad as well. Nice clip, reminded me of the good times had working there in the late 70′s early 80′s. Put a smile on my face. Way to go Otto and John!

I live in Riverhead, about 5 miles away. Yes it did have a scene at the Modern Snack Bar, but I haven’t seen the actual commercial yet.

Could you tell me if the ad for the Highlander with the little boy that has to go to the bathroom was filmed at the Modern Snack Bar in Aquebogue, Long Island, New York

Thank you
