1968, my senior prom weekend with my date Heide Farmarco at NYC's Hawaii Kai and one year later after a dramatic personal transformation. The youth quake was happening. Our eyes were opened, wide. Our pupils dilated. The beyond camp Hawaii Kai was the grand dame of New York Polynesian restaurants. The location, over the historic Winter Garden Theatre.The dramatic interiors were created by Frederick Fox, a scenic designer for Broadway productions. The entry was at street level, and had lush greenery, waterfalls and capuchin monkeys. After receiving a lei greeting, visitors ascended a rattan staircase to the upper level, with three rooms. #1968 #youthquake #oureyesareopen #rise
