No more info, just another matchbook style.
 
Would like to see more on this one.

sounds like the black tahiti was involved in some 1974 corporate junket scandal. it's not new, folks!!!

I spotted this menu on ebay from the Black Tahiti.
Seems as though the restaurant was pretty minimal - cafeteria style.
And the adjoining Bora Bora Bar.
The menu did confirm that the Black Tahiti was a hangout for sports stars, it was signed by baseball legend Ted Williams.

Nice! K street isn't that far either... Pity the place is gone. I might have to swing by sometime and see what the space looks like now.
Wyrdnet-- thanks for posting the picture of the glass-- great find!
