“The Grand Lake is an

Vintage Style Solutions
Tick Tock: It’s Tiki Time
Show Producer & Resident Style Expert, Sandra Michaan
takes you back in time on a tropical voyage to enjoy some fun in the sun.
Aloha Vintage Lovers! Have the winter
blues got you down? It’s time for a tropical
vacation. You don’t have to go too far for Island
shopping. We have you covered at the Alameda
Point Antiques Faire. All your Tiki dreams can
come true without an airline ticket. Just shop
for décor, barware, & retro fashions and you are
there (with a coconut or two and a flower lei).
The words “tiki culture” refer to the
Polynesian style bars and tribal art that started
to crop up in America in the mid 1930s. When
American soldiers returned home after World
War II, they brought back a major South Pacific
influence along with them and helped to
achieve a similar feeling in America. A number
of Polynesian themed restaurants and tiki bars
started opening up across the United States,
which were based off of the ones in the South
Pacific. The American tiki bars were kitschy fun
(which I have no problem with!) and we have
an award winning Tiki bar in Alameda called
Forbidden Island.
Don the Beachcomber (Don Beach) is
generally credited as the first to open a
specifically Tiki / Polynesian-themed restaurant
and lounge in Hollywood, CA in 1934.

Drink menu for Aku Aku, Las Vegas

About three years later (Vic Bergeron) opened in
Oakland, CA as Hinky Dinks with a similar theme but
became Trader Vic’s due to trading in the recession.
Both proprietors got popular concocting tasty cocktails
not to mention the exotic décor, & a casual yet festive
atmosphere. The theme called for bamboo and wicker
decor, hand-carved Tikis, palms trees, & pretty girls in
sarongs. Hawaiian music set the stage for the blossoming
era. With Hawaiian statehood, Tiki in America became
a sensation and folks could become suburban savages
for the weekend.
I have to say my favorite things about tiki are
the retro, bright floral dresses/Hawaiian shirts, mugs
carved into tiki gods, and of course, the tropical
umbrella cocktails.
In preparation for our upcoming spring Alameda
Point Vintage Fashion Faire, where the theme for our
costume contest is “Tiki Style”, I’ve been collecting
vintage tiki-theme images and thought I’d share some
with you. It will be held once more at The O’ Club and is
Dancer Ida Marina in fierce Tiki fashion
a two day indoor fashion extravaganza.
6 THE POINT
Tropical Tiki drinks Pickin’ up on that “Tiki vibe”
Friday night, March 22 from 6-9 PM will be our
“Tiki Style” Party, with live Hawaiian music and tropical
libations from our neighbors St. Georges Spirits. Top
dealers will be offering vintage styles from every decade.
Our costume contest is at 8PM in the main Ballroom &
the Grand Prize is a $100 voucher to shop the show. (See
our AD on Page 2) If you love the Island Lifestyle, Tiki,
Hawaiiana, or Polynesian Pop Culture, Alameda Point is
the place to shop.

Booth Meet the Sellers at the Antiques Faire: Scolari’s
FM22

Since 2010, Scolari’s has been offering a wide
selection of “Good Eats”, using foods and ingredients
sourced both locally and globally. Scolari’s focus on
the tasty rather than the territory and the delectable
over the dramatic, enables their kitchen to bring a
diverse array of cuisines to your tables without the
extended pinky finger.
Local Alameda business proprietor, Dan
Nichols, owner of The Lucky 13 Bar, opened Scolari’s
with Culinarian and Executive Chef Mike Boyd in
2010. Since it’s opening Scolari’s has developed a
loyal and local following that routinely earns 5-star
reviews on Yelp. Scolari’s is conveniently located
adjacent to the Lucky 13 Bar, where patrons can
order their food then head next door for a beer and
Scolari’s will deliver your delicious burger right to you.
In 2011, Scolari’s was chosen as “Best New
Restaurant (open less than a year)” by the readers of
Alameda Magazine for Alameda’s “Best of 2011”.
Then, in 2012, Alameda Magazine’s “Best of
2012” named Scolari’s Good Eats with the “Best
Burger”, “Best Non-Burger Burger”, “Best Twist on
French Fries”, and “Best Late-Night Munchies”.
Regular specials include not only burgers and
fries, but fresh Stromboli, Taylor Ham with fried egg
and cheese on brioche, fresh mozzarella salad with red
onion, arugula dressed with basil puree and balsamic
vinegar, as well as fresh roasted pork shoulder with
parmesan and kale. Scolari’s also regularly makes
their own house bread, has daily pizza specials by the
slice, and additional vegan options.
In 2012, the extension of the restaurant arrived
in the form of a vintage 1964 AirStream camper
trailer that was converted to a food truck. In August,
the AirStream started offering lunch at a Harbor Bay
Parkway site and received much enthusiasm from
the local businesses as well as locals just walking by.
The Scolari’s AirStream offers the same
delicious food from the restaurant on a regular basis,
as well as seasonal specials and super specials not
offered at the restaurant. It is also available for all
types of catering events.
In January 2013, the Scolari’s AirStream it made
its 1st appearance at the Alameda Point Antiques
Faire. Mike Boyd’s goal is to “Satisfy and fortify the
antique shopper with hot and delicious breakfast food
(for the early shopper) or hearty and fulfilling lunches
for those persevering throughout the afternoon in
search of the perfect treasure”.
Scolari’s Good Eats restaurant is located at
1303 Park Street at Encinal in downtown Alameda.
Daily menus are posted on Facebook, or call 510-
521-2400. The Scolari’s Good Eats AirStream is
located at booth #FM22 at Antiques by the Bay every
1st Sunday of the month at Point Alameda.
