Kona Tiki Polynesian Restaurant NY. help - Locating Tiki

I seem to remember that there were some teeny traces of polynesian decor in the current restaurant (I worked in 810 Seventh Ave, the hotel is 811), but it's definately no longer Tiki. The current Americana Hotel is on 33rd. Oh, you may be able to find more about the history if you get in touch with bar swizzle stick collectors. Gina (Martiki-bird)
