Aloha Tiki*Seeker,

I travel a lot for work so I am a bit of "tiki seeker" myself. I recently visiting the Hu Ke Lau in October. It's seems they have added several tikis in the past year that looked similar to the Wayne Combs style. The one thing that bothered me though was the cheesy animatronic alligator in the reception area. Fun for the kids, I guess but definitely out of place!

The Hu Ke Lau is much more kitsch than classic tiki but worth a visit if you know what your in for. I only stopped in for a quick mai tai but I could see the floor show from from the bar (through glass) and I was inspired by the flaming pupu platters.

I was pleasantly surprised by a few of the tiki points of interest in New England and I got a lot of good tips from people in your area. I'll be back again next October and will likely hit these places again. For more about this see my post on New England Tiki in the main discussion area:

Keep on seeking!


Aloha,

STEN

Show Me The Moai!
