"When we were kids, we looked to places like Rainforest Cafe for an immersive, tropical experience while living in Texas. These days, we just head to Tiki Tatsu-Ya on South Lamar. From the street, you’ll see a bright yellow sign advertising a fictional travel agency—which makes sense because the space inside will transport you to what feels like a Polynesian resort. There’s a beach house upstairs and a mysterious cave downstairs, both equipped with festive bars shaking up hyper-potent rum-based potions. Just remember, those drinks hit a lot different now than when you were 22 and had the metabolism of a small cheetah. " - nicolai mccrary
