I stop at the Atlanta Trader Vics at least 3-4 times a year and the bartender remembers me everytime.So whenever I ask if he can hook me up with a mug or glass to buy he looks the other way when he takes my money and says oops, broke another one.( I have been to every Trader vics in the U.S of A amd he is buy far the BEST bartender at any TV's) as far as the "lantern mugs" ( are those the port light and starbord light mugs you be talkin' 'bout) they will sell those as long as they are not busy and you b.s. with the bartender. Funny story I was at the Trader Vics in Chicago and bought some mai tai mix and Navy grog mix from the bartender and asked him how much the huge skull mug was they had there.( I don't know what drink they serve in it but it's biggg.) and he said he could sell it to me for 25.00 bucks. i passed but this trendy "club" girl sitting with a group of people overheard him and asked if she could buy it and he said it wasn't for sale so she kept bothering him for it and finally he said she could have it for 100 bucks. she was drunk and bought it saying her boyfriend back in new york will just love it 'cause it's kooky. morale of the story?? anyone in the new york area keep an eye out in your locale thrift store for a Huge Trader Vics skull mug.
