when i was a kid growing up in miami beach, there were a few really cool places around. i vaguely remember the Luau. also, i used to hang out at the amazing pool at the Castaways where the Shinto Temple and the Wreck Bar were...great tiki action there.

anyone remember Fu Manchu's towards the beach? they had a tre' cool bar where they served drinks in tiki mugs.

is the Caves still around in Ft. Lauderdale?

Fu Manchu is still there, but they don't serve their drinks in tiki or Fu Manchu mugs anymore. Kentiki, me and our wahines went there in 2004. The old timers that worked there thought we were hilarious because we wanted to wander around and look at the decorations; especially the upstairs balcony which was closed (actually to see if there were any forgotten boxes of mugs laying about). "What's the matter, you never see old Chinese restaurant before? Ha, Ha." Yup, I guess we were pretty funny. The food was okay, but not fantastic. The restaurant is cool though; especially the neon sign.
