Alaska Railroad 351 is a Pullman-Standard coach built in 1958.

Originally delivered to C&NW (Chicago & Northwestern Railroad) as a long-distance Gallery car.

The "Tiki Railbar" as 351 came to be called was one of two lounge cars in service for the 1997 Florida Fun Train, the other (352) was decorated in a 50s diner style.

The Tiki Railbar decor was not much more than some bamboo & thatch with a couple of fake palm trees.

Both cars (351 & 352) were acquired by Alaska Railroad alongside the rest of the FFT equipment in 1999. They initially maintained their original Florida interior and configuration, with only the exterior being repainted; in 2006, the cars were retrofitted to become café-lounge cars, with seating for 39-49 passengers.

So the "Tiki Railbar" appears to be no more, but car 351 is still running. The car appears to now be decorated with a curated mini museum of photos celebrating the Alaska Railroad's proud past.

Open from 2003-2006.

Today, as of 2021, the building at this address is mixed-use with a Starbucks on one side and a Verizon on the other, as well as a Dental office and a California Tortilla Restaurant. It appears that the Verizon matches up with the footprint of the old Kona Kai location.

This Décarie Blvd. landmark, razed back in 1988, was a mecca for the city’s business, social, sports, political and wise-guy elite —­ as well as a magnet for tourists who wanted to hobnob with the latter. Anyone who was anyone congregated there. More than that, though, it happened to serve, in the minds of many, the best damned Cantonese cuisine this side of Canton. But what patrons remember most about the place isn’t necessarily the elaborate Cantonese main courses, or the roast beef served from that sparkling silver trolley, or even the drop-dead gorgeous cigarette girl sporting the sleekest Oriental-style dress years before such frocks were deemed acceptable in public places. No, it was the egg rolls and the garlic spareribs — ­ never really replicated. The resto’s Black Sheep Lounge also attracted a who’s who of performers, including Charles Aznavour. Although this restaurant is gone, there is a "Hotel Ruby Foo's" at 7655 Decarie two blocks down. There is no Polynesian restaurant in the hotel.

Opened in 1988.

Tiki Village is a tourist attraction on the west side of Moorea, the small island directly to the west of Tahiti in French Polynesia.

Here visitors can see Tahitian traditions and dances in a utopian tropical setting and dine on roast pig and other delicacies at their restaurant.

Politiki took a unique spin on tiki, featuring a line of tiki mugs in the likenesses of United States presidents: Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Nixon, Carter and Reagan (with a cameo by Nancy on the back, surrounded by astrological symbols). When it opened in 1993, there were three floors of tiki, but Politiki existed in its original form for only about 4 years. Afterwards, some decor remained but gradually disappeared with each new bar make-over.

Around 1999, the space became home to the Pennsylvania Avenue Pub and much of the tiki decor was removed.

For a time it existed only as the basement in the space's next incarnation as the Pour House, and in late 2004, almost all the tiki was gone.

The Pour House still displayed two of the presidential tiki masks on their exterior sign (Lincoln & FDR -- styled just like the earlier tiki mugs) but the bar closed in April 2014.

The next bar in succession was Stanton & Greene, which opened in 2015 and closed in 2018. They removed the two outside tiki masks in their remodel, which were the last vestiges of Politiki.

*However, for Politiki's 20th Anniversary (May 2018), the original owners brought it back as a pop-up in a different space (at Barrel on Capitol Hill) with new president-inspired tiki mugs (Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Steve Bannon).

Aloha: A Taste of Hawaii closed in 2003.

This restaurant operated under three owners and three names in 2003. It went from Aloha: A Taste of Hawaii to 2 Palms Island (same owners) then Cancun Cove (two different owners). The first Cancun Cove owners were there only a couple of months before Adkins and Josephine Bautista acquired the restaurant and decided to keep the name. This final incarnation served a mix of Filipino/American food.

The tropical decor remained pretty much the same throughout the changes with thatched-roof accents around the ceiling, a long rock fountain at the entrance, colorful wall murals, mustard- and maroon-colored walls and a mixture of red carpet and hardwood floors.

As of 2021, this space is home to Sutures, a medical themed pub inspired by the growth of hospital and medical buildings prevalent in this South Tulsa neighborhood.

*1969-1991 at the Washington Plaza Hotel (Westin) at 1900 5th Avenue.

The location at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel in Seattle was the second Trader Vic's, after the Oakland location. It was located at 1980 5th Avenue.

It opened in 1948 and originally it was called The Outrigger (a sub-chain within the Trader Vic's chain that lasted several years) but the name changed in 1960 to just Trader Vic's. This location stayed open until it moved its Seattle branch to the nearby brand new south cylindrical tower of the Washington Plaza Hotel (now the Westin) in 1969. The Benjamin Franklin Hotel was demolished later on 07/1980 to make way for the matching north cylindrical tower of the Washington Plaza (Westin).

Trader Vic's expansion within the Washington Plaza Hotel (Westin) gave it much increased seating space. Manager Harry Wong touted the variety of new seating arrangements. The Polynesian decor was planned by San Francisco design team Chan-Reader and Associates, which specialized in Trader Vic's interiors.

The Trader Vic's at the Washington Plaza Hotel (Westin) closed in June 1991.

This location opened in 1962 and closed in 1990.

It was well-known for, among other things, the large Barney West Bird Man carving in front. This carving was auctioned off after the close, donated by the new lease-holder of the building, Eric Denk, to the Scottsdale Junior Arts Forum as a fundraiser for their annual masked ball.

Eric re-named the location "Eric's Tradewinds", in an attempt to continue the Polynesian theme, but his effort was short-lived. Remaining interior decor was reportedly given to the Scottsdale Conference Resort for luaus.

As of 2021, this location is Citizen Public House, an upscale gastropub.

Created by Eric Schwaiger, Smorgy's was a chain that was started in the mid 1980s, expanded in the 1990s with more elaborate build-outs, and closed in the early 2000s. The food was all-you-can-eat buffet style and the decor featured some animatronics and many had Disney-esque style volcano entrances or waterfalls surrounded by jungle style shrubbery.

Even through the darkest days of tikidom, The Alibi remained popular and busy -- probably due to the frequent karaoke nights. The Alibi is full of beautiful lamps and decor from Oceanic Arts, and has been cared for very well. The drinks for many years were on the weak and sweet side; that changed when new management took over in 2017, and the menu is now solidly-constructed classic tiki drinks and originals.

The Alibi has a long history that predates tiki. It began in the late 1800s as the Chat-n-Nibble, a horse & buggy stop along a dirt road. In later days it became a tavern called Max Alibi. The third owner, Roy Ell, took over the tavern in 1947 and renamed it The Alibi. Ell had travelled to Hawaii, and is responsible for changing the decor to reflect his own Polynesian tastes. The tavern was expanded to include the restaurant in the 1950s. The Witco-inspired rails and 3D hula-girl mural were 1970s additions. In the 1980s, Ell leased The Alibi with the agreement that the decor must stay as is. From 1992 to 2017 The Alibi was run by the White family. In 2017, well-regarded local historic bar managers Marcus Archambeault and Warren Boothby took over with a light restoration and a re-focused bar and food menu, including a flaming pu-pu platter.

Just across the street is The Palms motor hotel. While not strictly tiki, it does have a fantastic neon sign, and is within stumbling distance.

When the Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Walt Disney World in 1971, it was a duplicate of the original Enchanted Tiki Room found at Disneyland.

In 1998 it was updated to be more "modern" with a show called "Under New Management". The new show featured the '90s-era Disney animated bird characters Iago and Zazu. The now loud, unsettling and money-focused show featured disco balls, flashing lights, and in place of the beloved water fountain, a shouting, angry tiki goddess named "Polynesia." However, even in this darkest hour, the building itself was still worth a visit, with classic Exotica tunes (such as Martin Denny) often heard playing in the lovely lanai area. The transporting paradise was not entirely lost.

Then, in January 2011, the Tiki gods had finally had enough. A fire struck the Enchanted Tiki Room, and the show room was damaged enough to shut it down. It was restored and reopened as a slightly edited version of the original Enchanted Tiki Room attraction in August 2011, and is now back to the grand, historic, relaxing escape we all love.

Waikiki Wally's, opened by Hayne Suthon in 2002, was a modern Polynesian restaurant with nods to Polynesian pop history. It was connected via a tunnel to Lucky Cheng's, a drag cabaret also owned by Suthon; Waikiki Wally's closed in January 2009 when Lucky Cheng's moved to a new location.
