I think I solved the mystery of the Waikiki! I was doing a little research on the internet last night and came across this fuzzy picture of a matchbook from the Waikiki restaurant located in Washington DC. The matchbook has the same lettering used on the two custom mugs shown in this thread, so I am pretty sure that these all came from the same place.
The really cool part about this find is the location at 14 F Street NW. This is the same location as the second Luau Hut restaurant! Here is the Luau Hut matchbook from that location posted by TabooDan.
Given the information included in the post by OGR about the Waikiki business license getting initiated in 1959, it looks like the Waikiki preceded the Luau Hut. I will post this over on the Luau Hut thread as well. Maybe we can get Moon Kim’s daughter (LuauHut) to provide some info on this development. DC |
