The Lanai, San Mateo, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

The Lanai signature mug has always been a favorite of mine. We tried for years to find one. I even posted a request at every antique store in San Mateo with no luck. Not a single call. So I made the mug. Each of my three tikis were different and had the Hawaiian words for eat drink and be merry under them. After all this work I got a phone call and we were able to purchase the original. Wash your car it rains. That phone call was so wonderful because it came from someone who got the mug at the restaurant. This is a terrific thread. Wendy
