Dunno the answer to the above question, but the fair Pacific island of Alameda has a few other reasons to be a contenduh in this debate:

[1] It is in fact a Pacific island, something which very few other contending cities can claim.

[2] Forbidden Island.

[3] Firetiki. Does your candidate for tikiest city have as classic a place to outfit a tiki bar and clothe its patrons?

[4] Of all the places thus far mentioned, it's the closest to the co-birthplace of tiki, Hinky Dinks/Trader Vic's.

[5] If you leaven your tikiphilia with a love of the cuisine, and especially the Rum Drinks, of other tropical isle environments, Havana is the best Caribbean restaurant, and bar, in the bay area.

[6] Forbidden Island again, and again, and again.

[7] The short drive to Conga Lounge, Trader Vic's, and Kona Club, and a shorter walk to, or stumble home from, as I did tonite, Tiki Tom's.
