Though it seems to come from late in the game. But then again, when did businesses stop using letters in their phone numbers? Wonder if that swizzle ever got made. Judging by the rarity of the menu, the place might not have been around for long. Sven, that's a good point I had missed. The drink prices! This is not a 1980s menu with those prices. It would point to something more like 1963 maybe, when BVD left the Mai-Kai. Did Steve Crane take over the Bora Bora space? The 57-ish Mai-Kai menu has the Black Magic at $2.75 and Derby Daiquiri at $1. Exactly the same as here!
