I clicked on visit page, and found an odd, but delightful, online repository for the New York Public Library. Located here: http://menus.nypl.org/ There are over 16,000 menus available, and if you want, you can help transcribe them! The images are decently scanned, but not large enough to print out. For those of you out there that always wanted to have a menu collection, now you can have a digital one! I'm working on downloading all the tiki ones I can find and turning them into PDF's for myself. Perhaps some of you out there might want to do the same! Here's a short list of what they have available: Don the Beachcomber 1963 Don the Beachcomber 1965 Trader Vic's 1968 Port's O'Call 1948 Port's O'Call 1961 Moultray's Polynesian 1965 Hawaiian Room 1940 Hawaiian Room 1967 S.S. Mariposa 1969 Hilton Hawaiian Village Surf Room Royal Hawaiian Hotel 1977 Royal Hawaiian Hotel 1935 Royal Hawaiian Hotel 1939 Monarch Room Royal Hawaiian Hotel 1964 Monte's 1951 Beverly Hills Hotel The list goes on and on. When you search it brings up both menu's and ingredients/dishes, so you can search by either. Enjoy!

There is a thread on this, New York Public Library Menu Collection, but the links have atrophied, so thanks for the new one.

Well, for the people that haven't seen it before...enjoy! And for those of you that have, enjoy seeing it again!
