It seems like Waikiki Wally's is the best Manhattan has to offer in terms of commercial tiki bars. Based on my December visit, it just won't do. On the off chance someone in Manhattan with a home tiki bar should be following this forum: I'll be in the city the second week of september. I'd appreciate meeting a fellow afficianado in manhattan.

Then there's always the "Bridge & Tunnel Tikis":

Jade Island, Staten Island
Zombie Hut, Brooklyn
King Yum, Queens
Lee's Hawaiian Islander, Lyndhurst, NJ
Chan's Dragon Inn, Ridgefield, NJ

I just realized, There's no Tiki in the Bronx except the Hawaii Sea (now a de-Tikified Sushi/Chinese restaurant), and the old Orchids of Hawaii offices?

A New Yorker had told me the Zombie Hut closed down, but this blog claims they've moved down the street a block to a bigger space:

"Also of note is that Zombie Hut moved down the block from 261 to 273 Smith Street.The decor looks like it was lifted from the old and seamlessly set down in the new space, that is, notably, twice the size."

Critiki still has the old address...
