"After weathering years of shuttered Trader Vic's outposts around the country and the high-profile flop of a tiki-themed nightclub at the Venetian in Las Vegas, the tiki tribe is once more on the march. A tiki-adorned Tonga Lei Room can be found inside the recently opened Beachcomber Cafe on the Malibu Pier. An L.A. outpost of Trader Vic's, complete with live Polynesian-themed entertainment, is coming to the L.A. Live development across from Staples Center early next year. And tiki outfitters and art galleries are seeing a boom in big-ticket items."
Adam Tschorn in the Los Angeles Times checks out the latest in "Polynesian pop."
