WEEKEND VACATIONS AT DOWNTOWN HOTELS
by RALPH BLUMENTHAL REPORTER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES.
Published: January 25, 1981

“...our complimentary brunch was awaiting us so we returned to the Sheraton-Boston.
It was not going to be your average Sunday brunch, we realized as we were directed into the hotel's Kon Tiki Ports Restaurant and Lounge. We were handed leis to throw around our necks and seated in high-backed cobra chairs under the stern visages of Polynesian masks and totems. Then, sipping mai-tais, we breakfasted on Hawaiian eggs, beef ding, pork luau, chicken wings, a fish dish called mahi-mahi, fried bananas and watermelon...” “we counted the luau brunch as part of our weekend bargain.”
