Hearing about the loss of her husband I deeply understand what may motivate Carol. But The Aku Tiki Room was one of the last true remaining golden age Polynesian restaurants/bars of it's kind in the northeast. The photos scarcely do it justice. Hospitality alone placed it in my top five, not to mention the exacting care and standards Tom, Carol, and Bonita kept for their true-to the age tropical drinks. It was one of the most amazingly well preserved little tiki time capsules I had ever encountered. A real treasure. Carol bought and hung one of my Marquesan Plaques there last year; a real honor for me, and I had just been tapped and designed an Aku Tiki Room mug for them. It's just plain sad it will never hold one of those fantastic drinks. Aloha, Andris Waunee Farm/Aku Tiki Room.
