Description

The Mai-Kai History and Mystery of the Iconic Tiki Restaurant is a unique collection of over 400 photographs commemorating the 60th anniversary of the legendary Mai-Kai Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The book delves into the birth of Polynesian pop culture and history, tracing the story of how the Mai-Kai and its iconic elements came to exist between 1955 and 1971. Through first-hand stories and images, this book documents the history, allure, and enduring legacy of the mid-twentieth-century Tiki era. The Mai-Kai's role as a playground for celebrities and playboys, and the beautiful women who worked there, is also explored. The book provides a fascinating insight into the men and women who shaped the world of the Mai-Kai and its iconic elements. Today, the Mai-Kai is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its Rum Rhapsodies remain a nostalgic treat for those who experienced the indulgent era of the 1950s and 1960s.
