I saw this recently and thought it was a cool menu cover so I would show it here. There was one that was posted above by Dustycajun but this one was a slightly different color and also had a interesting signature on it. Here it is:

The signature on the cover says "M. Pereira Mgr. Hawaiian Room". I thought that was pretty neat to see that that manager had signed the menu for someone.

In the auction description, it also stated "The restaurant opened in 1937 and billed itself as the "Eastern outpost of Hawaii" many Hawaiian musicians and dancers performed there including Hilo Hattie, George Kainapau and Sam Koki."

And inside shot:

Some of the pricing was Main Full Course Meals such as Hawaiian Festival Chicken Run $3.85 Sliced Pork, Tenderloin Haole Luau $3.75, Soup of the day .50 Cents Appetizers were $1-2.

They sure used alot of Hula Girls in the Hawaiian Rooms promotional pieces and art work. Great to see these vintage items still coming up!

Mahalo,

If you happened to win this item, I will gladly adjust this post so you can post your item. This goes back to the discussions of posting items that you see online and don't actually have or win in an auction. Do you still post them here on TC? I say Yes because otherwise interested people might never get to see them. It's always good to see what is out there from some of these long gone places and together in one place is great!
