Morai Village was a specialty restaurant and night club operated by Food Systems International, a subsidiary of Holiday Inn Inc. It was located at 5706 Broadway and in 1972 S.T. Vandernoot was the nightclub manager. Lory Maurice Johnston, a former owner of the Elbo Room and the Sea Breeze Restaurant on Fort Lauderdale beach and whose home movies were recreated in the legendary Spring Break flick "Where the Boys Are", is reported to have been "involved with other ventures", including Trader Jack's in Lauderdale-by the-Sea and Maori Village in West Palm Beach. Mr. Johnson passed away in 2006.
