Here's some of the places we crossed of the list yesterday:

Fantasy Island - Salem - Must have been good once. Looks like it's just been remodeled. Only a few Orchids lamps and couple of bamboo chairs survived. Oh and my drink was alcohol-free. Next!

The Tiki House-Waltham -Takeout only. No tiki. Next!

The Tiki Garden - Abington- That's right, Abington. Sully's standing outisde 'cuz the place doesn't 'til 4:00.... Could be a paradise inside. Probably not.

Golden Pacific -(I think it was in Whitman(?)) - No tiki. Next!

Tiki Palace - Braintree - Talk about an ironic name! We walked in and walked out. NO tiki at all.

Then we went to the Tahiti in Dedham. Still open. They've wallpapered over the beautiful murals in back. We walked out. Sick. We got a call from Professor Hummingflower (incedentally, after last night, we think we know why he got that name) called us and sent us to--Beverly. Yes, Beverly from Dedham!

China Jade - Beverly - Supposedly the China Jade has had the same decor since 1959! We hauled ass. We got inside--one Orchids lamp. We walked out. It was a bad night.

We headed for the Bali Hai for $4 Zombies. The good news there is the owner brought out STILL ANOTHER STYLE of new, old stock tiki mugs for us to buy. If anybody wants to see it, I'll post a pic.

Anyway, we're running out of tiki fast in these parts.
