Hey New Yorkers (Joe and others), I'd like to hear a review from you all about a new bar in Brooklyn called Dram. Not a Tiki bar, but several Tiki drinks are on the menu (Jet Pilot, Don the Beachcomber Zombie) and the concept of the place is intriguing with top NYC bartenders doing rotating regular shifts there.

Here's a July 1, 2010 article about it from the NY Times.

And here's the recipe for the drink pictured in the article, which I got from the show "Drink Up" on the Cooking Channel:

Behind God’s Back

1/4 oz orgeat syrup
1/4 oz sugar cane syrup
1/4 oz cinnamon syrup
1/2 oz fresh pressed pineapple juice
1 oz lime juice
2 oz Chairman’s Reserve rum (St Lucia)

Dry shake the ingredients for a few seconds and pour into a tall glass. Fill glass with crushed ice and swizzle until glass becomes frosty. Top off with 6-8 dashes of Peychaud bitters to create a rich red layer on top. Add more crushed ice and a sprig of mint.

I'm not absolutely positive it's Peychaud's they use, but I'm not aware of another bitters that is that red in color.
