1965. "Polynesia Pavilion restaurant, New York World's Fair." See you at the Fire Dance! Medium format Ektachrome, photographer unknown. View full size.
I remember back in the mid-1960's everything labeled "Polynesian" was thought to be exotic and upscale. Throw a pineapple ring on anything and you were thought to be the hostess with the mostess.
At the fair there were pineapples growing in a small patch with electrically heated soil. Probably a collaboration between GE and Castle & Cooke.
