I wasn't sure where to post this I know after speaking to Bob and Leroy at Oceanic Arts the Kona Kai existed in New York just up the river from NYC in Tarrytown - it still comes up in the yellow pages and if you call its the Marriott number (makes sense). I have stopped by the building twice and have heard there is someone there that has been there for 25 + years and "should" know about the building but I have yet to speak with her. I also have not seen any trinkets or photos of the place. So let me know if anyone has any info or "things" and about it from it. |

I grew up in Hartsdale right down the parkway from there. When the marriott opened in the late 70's, the Kona Kai was there. We went a few times while i was in High School, I even remeber winning a gift certificate from a radio station once, and I took my mom for dinner. It was not very big, and it had a small facade treatment to the right of the hotel lobby. it was pretty ornate, and i can remember specifically requesting the peacock chair tables. I am sure that some where in the recesses of my parents house there are some artifacts...i will have to ask. [ Edited by: inkylouise 2007-11-24 13:06 ] |

Thanks Inky - I'm pretty close to the building itself but I can say theres nothing Ornate about it now. I plan to go visit again soon, just hoping to go armed with more than questions! |
