I picked up a postcard showing the cool sign from Bob Lee's Lantern House restaurant in a Chinatown night scene.
That Bob Lee was quite a showman.

Mid-century Chinatown neon streets are the best!

I spotted a few more items from Bob Lee's Islander on ebay lately.
A postcard showing three different rooms.
And an ad with the same rooms and a little story on Bob Lee.
The Polynesian Room, the Hawaiian Room, and the Luau Room.
The story.
One of my favorite old Tiki places.

Here is a matchbook I have that combines the cover from one that posted before
and the drink menu from the matchbook that Tiki Kate posted.
The info on the inside.
Bob Lee Rocks!

I got one the large postcards from Bob Lee's Islander with the wild interior scenes so I did a couple of close ups.
This place had to have had the Highest TIPSY factor ever recorded!
The story of a wandering Bob on the back of the card.

Wow. Bob Lee's Islander! That really brings back memories. The closest restaurant now a days would be the Kowloon in Saugus MA. Still can't beat the old Islander feeling though. Those days are gone but not forgotten.
