Author Biography

Lynn Calvo, an acclaimed restaurant and bar designer, began her tiki journey after traveling the globe and later catering tiki-inspired events throughout the Hamptons and East End of Long Island from a sunset-orange truck outfitted with a thatched tiki bar. Her infusions and mobile island paradise became an overnight sensation, so she opened Lynn's Hula Hut, a Polynesian-style tiki bar in Montauk, NY, where she lives and where locals and visitors alike crowd the bar for the best drinks around.
