Upstairs Bar
The Upstairs Bar This is a really cool place of interest. This was a speakeasy during Prohibition in the late 1920s a Philly gangster named Max “Boo Boo” Hoff put up a front called the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company. It is said that they ran more liquor than Al Capone. 80 years later after the […]
Mother of Pearl
Mother of Pearl In a really nice mellow part of the East Village, Mother of Pearl is a Tiki place on the corner which is hard to miss. It is a bit small on the inside with less than 9 tables, but they do have a full bar with tiki bar stools if there is […]
Garden Falls
Garden Falls I’ve been shooting (photographing and filming) weddings for over 15 years at this point. I’ve literally done over a thousand. Never once have I been to Garden Falls. If I had known what it was, I probably would have come here sooner at my own leisure to enjoy it. This place is more […]

Jade Island
Jade Island Built in 1972, Jade Island appeared on No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain about 10 years ago (Season 5; Episode 19 NY Outer Boroughs). I don’t ever recall seeing the episode, but being an avid Tony Bourdain fan so I am surprised I missed it. What I almost missed what finding this place as […]
Mai Kai
Mai-Kai Restaurant North Federal Highway – Fort Lauderdale, Florida For anyone that is a fan of Tiki, Polynesian Pop or even anything retro. This is a must visit over and under anything I am about to state here. If you are in the area, even for one night, you must visit. If you have the […]
Mojitos
Mojitos I love this place. It might not be true authentic tiki but it for sure is a kitschy place with a Caribbean feel overlooking the seaport. I know it is kind of redundant because we are in the Caribbean Island of Aruba, but this gives a modern feel. What was truly refreshing about this […]
Nau Frutos do Mar
Nau Frutos do Mar One cannot even say or think the word Brazil without thinking of the tropics. Even if its not on the coast, the interior has tropical jungles and the Amazon Rain Forest. João Pessoa is the most eastern city in the Western Hemisphere. And it is an interning city. There was one […]
Lun Wah
Lun Wah www.thelunwahrestaurant.com 587 Raritan Road Roselle NJ 07203 / Phone: 908-245-0656 One of the very last of the original authentic Tiki relics from the Polynesian Pop culture phenomenon from the early 1970s. While it did change ownership in 2013, this is about as tiki as it gets in New Jersey. When I first saw the […]
Gilligan’s Island
Gilligan’s Island A 3-hour cruise turned out to be 3 short seasons of this Mid 1960s American television broadcast a sitcom. Of course there was Gilligan, the Skipper, the millionaire and his wife, a movie star, the professors and Mary Ann. This had tiki appeal because it was situated on a tropical island and you can often see the […]

Allspice Dram
Allspice Dram Allspice or Pimento Dram is a Tiki cocktail secret ingredient. The stuff you buy in the store is so potent, you need to regard it more as a bitter and measure it out with an eye dropper. This homemade version came out of necessity. I could not find it in any of my […]
