We should all be tuned up for this event since it comes at the tail of an impressive string of events: Tiki Oasis, NE Tiki Tour, Allentown Luau.

I'm so disappointed not to be able to make any of the other events- I'm sure you'll have some great stories to share!

Ray -- I'll be there (but only if your verbal invite at Shun Lee wasn't due solely to a half dozen Mai Tais)

A few of us are meeting up earlier in the day and taking the SI ferry over to hit Jade Island for a late lunch and a few cocktails to get in the spirit.

We're really looking forward to tonight!
Happy to see the tiki ohana again and appreciate Urban Tiki's hospitality
and the chance to visit his tiki hut in the sky.
Had to prep myself with some rum drinking last night. 
Aloha!

You'll be missed Jack. Have a great time up there on the Hudson and we'll raise one (or two) to you!

OK- here are some pics from the tiki party of the year (and the expedition there)
I'm way too lazy this morning to write cute captions so you will have to invent
your own. Thank you Urban Tiki for hosting such a fabulous bash! We had a
wonderful time! Aloha to all the NYC area ohana!

What a great party! Ray and Mary are amazing and generous hosts. And everyone else was just plain fun to hang with. The apartment was an incredible mix of retro and Skylab. I can't imagine the kilowatts it takes to run the entertainment wall. To end the night with cognac on the rooftop was tempting, but if I missed the next train, I would have had to wait for the 4:20 out of Penn., and I just don't have those legs anymore. Tiki does live in New York.

What an AMAZING party! Mahalo for everything! Steve and I had a fabulous time.
Our highlights: The rooftop. The firework show in the distance from the annual Hoboken Italian Festival. The mai tais. The crowd! Everybody was so wonderful! Thank you for welcoming us to NY with open arms. 
Can't wait until we all get to see each other again!
XOXO from Steve and Lenore!

Mucho Mahalo to Ray and his lovely assistant Mary for being such great hosts. Also nothing but love for the all the Ohana who helped make it an even better event. Cigars and Zacapa on the rooftop overlooking Central Park at 2:00+ a.m. = priceless!

Ray and Mary - I can only repeat what has already been said several times. Great party, Nicole and I really had a blast.
The drinks were fantastic - that poor bartender you hired - he probably served less than 5 beers all night. I bet your Grog Log is pretty dog-eared by now as he got some on-the-job-training in making tiki-drinks ("holy crap, this one's got like 9 things in it!).
The roof - perfect night to be out there having a cocktail with the music playing in the "rooftop garden" - an inflatable palm tree (nice touch there).
Thanks again for having all of us up to your atomic pad. NYC tiki is on the rise.
