A friend sent me a link to the New York Public Library's online menu collection. They have about 40,000 menus in their collection. So far they've digitized about 10,000 and are in the process of transcribing them so that the text can be searched. You can help them with the transcribing. I entered a few search terms and found these tiki restaurant menus: A drink menu from Trader Vic's (date unknown) Don The Beachcomber 1965. The Hawaiian Room at the Emerson Hotel (1967) Moultray's Polynesian (1965) With 10,000 menus, I'm sure there must be more if you do some digging.
