Best Tiki Bars in NYC?
Queens really does have it all, except for a tiki joint with a website. You'll have to rely on The Queens Tribune's review:

What's A 'Real' Brooklyn Restaurant?
A "real" Brooklyn restaurant is one which has catered to, and served born & raised Brooklyners (or Queens, LI, SI, or NJ) without airs or pretense since its inception. These new places in Park Slope, W'burg, etc. seem extremely pretentious with inflated senses of self-importance. And frankly, Cuozzo is right: Those gentrified precincts of Brooklyn, full of yuppies & hipsters who were raised far from 718, have nothing in common with Marine Park, Flatlands, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, East New York, Brownsville, etc., etc., etc. It's in these neighborhoods you'll find "real" Brooklyners and restaurants. Nothing about these new joints say Brooklyn to me; at least not the Brooklyn I know.
