The Worcester Wind-Tiki (Park Avenue) is now Sakura Tokyo (it has seen better days). My old classic rock band, The RefleXion, was one of the first groups to perform there when it opened in 1990 or 1991.
Lotsa memories from the ol' Wind Tiki:
The day my oldest daughter was born (1984) I went there for celebratory House Special Mai-Tai's.
I remember I got an old ten-dollar "silver certificate" back with my change (I think I may still have it).
All of their waitresses and bartenders were middle-aged white women (common with old school Polynesian joints, I believe).
One month later, my daughter's first outing was at the Wind-Tiki for day-after-Thanksgiving Pu-Pu Platters and Gai Poo Lo Mein with my wife and I and our small brood of T-Day visiting out-of-towners; as she slept peacefully in her car seat atop the back of our huge, semi-circular corner booth. We always took out-of-towners to either the WT or Chuck's Steakhouse, in Auburn, MA.
The only consolation when the WT closed was that Sakura Tokyo was supposed to be awesome. It was... for a few years, but it is in desperate need of a facelift; in and out.
People may have pointed out that I have a shopping problem? Anyway, I got my first Wind Tiki collectible, to lazy to take a picture, but I got a matchbook from there. I'll be on the lookout for more stuff. Does anyone have any items from any of the Worcester Tiki places?
