This modified from one of my posts in the Trader Vics Lounge thread. Many of the traditional aspects of Trader Vics remained: the neon script; the beloved Chai in control of the bar; the Mai Tai recipe and glasses; the Fog Cutter mugs and, yes, there is a large tiki as a silent sentinel offering homage to the by-gone era. The decilious pupus remain - I even think I saw my favorite: the flaming Beef Cho Cho. Think "W" Westwood; think Miami Beach; think Tiki's Waikiki - for the new Trader Vic's Lounge is reminiscent of each of these tropical locales. I don't know whether to be happy that it lasted so long, or sad that the inevitable claimed it, as Trader Vics has not been having good karma in LA.
