Speaking of Tiki Rooms. Scuttlebutt is the Tonga Room in the Fairmont will be closing sometime this summer, the victim of the condo-i-zation and rebuilding of the tower, apparently.
So, if you are going to be in SF, might want to swing by for some cool atmosphere, lousy food and expensive drinks. Probably was/is the oldest surviving big room tiki bar. I guess I should visit, too, never been and that's shameful. I had been to the original Trader's Vics here on Cosmo Place (my favorite street name).
Now back to the regularly scheduled real-tiki-world thread.
