Dragon Island was a Polynesian themed Chinese restaurant located in Centereach Long Island, New York. As was not uncommon for Chinese restaurants of the time, it was completely immersed in the Polynesian tiki theme from the outside of the building, the dining room, and even the advertisements. Past patrons remember fondly the bridges, ponds, delicious food, pu pu platters, and strong drinks. It opened in 1970 and closed in the late 1980s. The building still stands and can be seen in its current incarnation on google maps. Besides the Droopy mug marked with the restaurant name, town, and phone number, it is believed that they also used other, unmarked, mugs such as the short OMC Kon-Tiki and the Little Surfer Girl, NOS examples of which were found in 2023 with a stash of the restaurant's NOS Droopy mugs.
