I didn't even make it in the door. You could see right in via the plate glass window--not a tiki place.

Went to the Kahula in Sturbridge. I knew there's no tiki there but I was hoping there was somebody who knew it when. There was. The head hostess lady had been working there since 1978. She might have some pics for me.

Went to the Debbie Wong in Ware, MA. This was the FIRST Chinese restaurant I ever went to and I knew it was tiki once. Debbie Wong was a mini-chain here in MA; five Debbies at one time. The Ware location is run by the nephew of Mr. Wong and the one in W. Springfield is run by his cousin. Still has a formidable Polynesian menu and the standard cocktails but ZERO tiki.

I didn't eat anywhere. I had a wretched drink at the Kahula called the Honi Honi which seems to be sour mix, pineapple and some kind of bourbon. I think it was whiskey, anyway.

I have another day off tomorrow--where to go....
