E and I stayed at that hotel back in 1998. Duke's is awesome.

I don't recommend walking through the International Market at 3am.

I believe was taken from either the hotel restaurant or Dukes at that Outrigger.

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.

I feel a SF Trader Vic's Swanking coming on...... Mum would ADORE that.

Well, I'm easy (but y'all knew that, anyway). Best for us to work around your availability, nothing's been planned at our end yet, except for a Mai Tai at the Pink Palace on our arrival (which is tomorrow week, the 25th). April 1st would be the best day for the drive-round, as it's the day before we leave for SanFrancisco.
