Junkanoo, Washington, DC (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

I didn't think that was too bad considering you don't see these mugs too often at all and they were probably made in low numbers. Crappy photos but you can still see the details. The base is marked just as the above photo. The shorter version of this mug can also be seen much clearer in this cool postcard of Shanghai Lil's Restaurant I have: I wonder if the one above was specifically marked for Shanghai's or not? Maybe it just didn't have the "Junkanoo" name on it but was otherwise marked the same on the base. From Dusty's post above, it seems like it was quite the place with an intersting history. TabooDan
