This week's Time Out new york:
Lei'd comer
drag queens and dragons are a hard act to follow, but Lucky Cheng's owner hayne Suthon is opening another hyper-fabulous eatery anyway: hawaiian-themed waikiki Wally's. The east village tropical get-up is elaborate enough to put the Rainforest cafe to shame. the dining room has miles of bamboo, a towering waterfall, an enormous birdcage (containing a real white cockatoo named Wally) and live, hip-swinging hula girls. The menu will follow the tropical theme with Polynesian and Asian-inspired dishes, plus whole roasted pigs for private luaus. And like any respectable tiki establishment, wally's will serve coctails the size of your head.
