Aloha Texas Tikiphiles and everyone else...
A few of us have decided there is no better way to ring in the New Year than with a Mai Tai and maybe some Crab Rangoon.
YES...I'm referring to Trader Vic's in Dallas. The only REAL tiki bar in the state.
Join us for an evening of sophisticated savagery and other Polynesian delights as we dive into the new decade. Be sure to wear your finest aloha gear (weather permitting) so we know who you are!
Your fellow tikiphiles will begin filing in around 5pm. See you in the lounge!
almost forgot to mention....this was Tropical Icebergs idea. BIG MAHALOS!

It doesn't have to be a Mia Tia, you can have just about anything you can dream up..the drinks are good, the place is special...but the company is what counts the most...

Does anyone know if the New Year's menu supplants the regular menu (for the evening), or if it's just a special supplement?

when you go to the website it says "feast on the special menu Chef Mike has created for this night"...the Menu is also posted in the lobby , yet they do leave it unclear if any other options are available...Sure hope you two can make, we are looking forward to seeing you again...We were not making dinner plans, just Lounge plans...so we will see what they are serving in bar...usually there is no restrictions...

The New Year's Eve menu will be all that is available for that evening (in the way of food). Hope you all enjoy, I know Chef Mike is excited!

So looking forward to seeing everyone!
I'm also looking forward to the short stumble upstairs this time. The Palomar is offering a special rate of $119/nt to members of its In Touch program. This is a substantial savings over the rack rate of $199. I just signed up for the program and it took about 3 minutes. You can sign up here: http://www.kimptonhotels.com/intouch/KIT_overview.aspx
You may need to call the hotel direct at 214/520-7969. When you call to make the reservation, make sure they know you are an In Touch member. Dobrolic was told the offer included complimentary parking and a bottle of wine. Didn't double check this as wine is pretty much the last thing on my mind when I'm upstairs from Trader Vic's!

Cool! So far 13 people say they'll be there. We have tables reserved in the lounge. I'll be there early to be sure we have the tables and to see if I can influence the music in any way.

We were just wondering today if we should have a party or what!?!? So, definitely the or what - See you there! Does anyone know if it is a set price for the dinner if we decide to make a reservation? I suppose we can order the same food in the bar, just wondering if the dinner is a set price or what, didn't see prices on there.

On the Facebook page it says the special menu is "$65. ($85 if you couple dinner with a wine.)" That's PER PERSON (!!). You'll need to make a reservation if you want to eat in the dining room but you can also get it in the lounge. I'm sticking with the bar food. Mmmm...pork sliders....

Aloha, Texas tikiphiles.
Mrs. Zulu and I will be catching a flight down from Denver on Thursday and joining ya'll for New Year's celebration. We will be staying there at the Palomar that evening. Sounds like there it is shaping up to be quite a group in the lounge for the evening. See you guys around 5.
