HONOLULU HARRYS

Harrys was a night club for everyone. Floor shows,dancing,good cuisine,and cocktails. My parents always went to Harrys,we lived 2 blocks away, it was convenient. Mom worked at the polynesian village at the Edgewater beach hotel, so she felt right at home there, but it wasnt as classy as the village. All the pro ball players came to Harrys, when they were in town. They ate and drank, and then they let loose across the street, on wilson & marine drive. There was Johnnys hot dog stand on the corner then, and next to it were batting cages, where they would proceed whacking baseballs over the fence into Harrys windows, lots of broken glass.Well that didnt last to long.The cages were shut down along with the hot dog stand,making way for Weiss hospital. Johnnys went to wilson & kenmore. Those were the days

  1. My era was the sixties. I remember Johnnies Hot Dogs - they were always a special treat. There was also a "broasted" chicken place over there too.
