Notes
(from Ralph & Mabel Cotter via Nancy)
Best served from Trader Vic’s “coconuts.” Go there and order a few, then ask totake a few coconuts home for your own use. Preferably order a Wahine at theoriginal Trader Vic’s in Oakland, CA,*but from Washington, DC to London, thepresentation of a Wahine seems to never vary.

To: Suehklock Hi, Sue… Hinky Dink’s opened in 1934 on San Pablo Avenue in Oakland. He changed the name to Trader Vic’s shortly after, so the first ” Trader Vic’s ” was in Oakland on San Pablo Avenue in 1935, though it was the same little building that was called Hinky Dink’s in 1934. Hope this answers your question. Thanks… Kindest regards, ERIK CORP OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO tel: 415-927-9788
