OGR,

Thanks for that post. I have that matchbook from the Pittsburgh location, maybe I will start a thread for that one and add that cool glass.

The other matchbook is interesting in that it lists two locations in Rocky Hill. So based on the menu and the matchbook, there were at least three of these Hu Ke Laus:

80 Town Line Road, Rocky Hill

Corbins Corner Shopping Plaza, in Hartford

12 Mountain Ave, Bloomfield

Here is some more the info on this place from James T in Tiki Road Trip:


Great story on the floor show with Duke and the Samoans. So, the Conn. Hu Ke Laus were also owned by the same group that owned the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee, Mass. Makes you think that they could have operated the one in Columbus Ohio as well.
