Too late, your Toityness! Hoity-Toity, Hoity-Toity! Neener, neener, neener! :P Personally, I grew up in the Deep South, Staten Island (don't worry if you don't get the joke, I don't expect that humor to go further than Red Hook...), and although we had a Tiki restaurant there (the more-than-adequite Jade Island) you didn't find backyard Tiki Oases, tropical foliage, lava rock-trimmed banks, Sputnik-topped convenience stores, neighborhood Mai-Tai parlors, bars with dark nooks lit only by a dim lamp covered by a pufferfish or bamboo fish trap... all the wonders you can still find in abundance in this corner of the country. It's like someone tilted the map and all the net floats & Harvey's mugs rolled down here. |
