Man I hear ya. I'm from the DC area too - pretty dry here Tiki wise, especially after the Honolulu restaurant closed in Alexandria last year. I heard a rumor - Trader Vics in Shirlington? I think they really meant Trader Joe's. If anyone can verify this - I'd like to know.

I'm a newbie here (as of today, thanks!), and I'm carving tiki's and making pretty good mai tai's. Where do Tiki-philes (?HUH!?) congregate in this boring town? (I've consulted Tiki rroad trip already - not much in there about Washington).

I've been thinking of putting together a junket to Atlanta for about 5-6 couples to head down to TV's for a weekend... but it's still too expensive. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I learned about this place from the link on Lotta Livin and have lurked for around a year.

I love Tiki, but reside in that near-Tikiless place known as the Nation's Capital. But my sister lives in LA, so I am frequently able to indulge my interests in Tiki, Googie, MCM, etc.

Glad to be here,

JL
