Hometown Hawaii
See All Lists
1. Honolulu Academy of Arts
There are a lot of museums in the world and consequently many reasons to like each one, from the expansiveness of New York's Met to the grand hilltop palace that is the Legion in San Francisco. But it's difficult for a small museum to even compare to…More »
2. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa
I get a bit giddy anytime I experience that good ol' Disney magic. My visit to Aulani was nothing short of wows. I did not expect much from the Hawaiian-themed resort as I had heard it wasn't very Disneyfied at all. This, I later learned, is probably…More »
3. Ala Moana Center
Honolulu, HI 96814
(808) 955-9517
Category:
Shopping Centers
Neighbourhood: Ala Moana
There are two reasons why we call Ala Moana, "Hawaii's Center." 1.) It's hands-down the best and most beautiful mall you'll ever come across, and 2.) because, dagnabbit, the commercials tell us to. Multiple stories, newly renovated with every…More »
4. The Pineapple Room by Alan Wong
Honolulu, HI 96814
(808) 945-6573
Categories:
Hawaiian,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Ala Moana
I never thought I would feel justified in paying over $10 for Loco Moco, but it was so good. I also tried the Kal-Bi and it was excellent. The service is awesome and the atmosphere is very casual. The bread pudding dessert with banana fosters sauce…More »
5. Ailana Shave Ice
Honolulu, HI 96815
(808) 349-9827
Categories:
Desserts,
Shaved Ice,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Waikiki
Spread the word! You can now get great tasting, authentic shave ice in the middle of tourist central! No more trucking out to long lines at Matsumoto. No more eating on some neighborhood side street like at Waiola. Ailana Shave Ice brings immensely…More »
6. Glazer's Coffee
If coffee is love and love leads to sex, Glazer's is by far the best lay I've had in Hawaii yet.
Unfortunately.
Great service, free wifi, and superb espresso.
7. Sushi King
I'm always on the look-out for reasonably priced, authentic sushi joints in Hawaii. There are a few that I like, but most come off as either being way too expensive or having low-quality fish.
That said, I really enjoyed my overall experience at Sushi…More »
8. Shirokiya
Back when this Japanese department store was twice its size and I was half mine, I would come here to marvel at the new portable electronics imported from Japan. Priced at amounts I knew would decrease exponentially over time, they were essentially…More »
9. Hawaii State Library
One might argue that the Emperor Puyi was never really free. The final ruler of dynastic China, he went from prisoner in his own kingdom, to prisoner of a puppet state to the prisoner of Communist ideology. All the gold of the central empire couldn't…More »
10. Honolulu City Lights
"Each time Honolulu City Lights stir up memories in me."
Each night Honolulu City Lights bring me back again..."
In my defense, it's the original Keola Beamer version of "Honolulu City Lights" stuck in my head, and not the cover by the vanilla-Stepford…More »
11. Neiman Marcus
Honolulu, HI 96814
(808) 951-8887
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Ala Moana
I only go into Neiman Marcus for two reasons:
1.) They have the nicest bathrooms in the mall.
2.) The shiny butterflies above the escalators are pretty.
But the last time I went in, I actually looked through their expensive shit and tried on a blazer by…More »
12. The Mall at Pearl Harbor
The best part of being an Army brat!
I love the Pearl Harbor mall. When I come home, I'm either here or at Ala Moana. The Navy Exchange has everything at a better price with no sales tax. The Commissary is huge. It's such an improvement to the…More »
13. Kunio Restaurant
I fly back to San Francisco tonight...
My family and I came here for a sort of goodbye dinner and I think we picked a pretty good spot. Good food. Soothing interior. Pretty waitresses. I vaguely remembered liking it the first time I was here, but now…More »
14. The Pyramids
When was the last time you put something in your mouth and closed your eyes because it felt so damn good?
(You have a dirty mind...)
I wasn't going to come here. How could Mediterranean food in Hawaii be any better than that from San Francisco? But I…More »
15. Fook Yuen Seafood Restaurant
Fook Yuen and my sex life have so much in common:
Pretty satisfying.
Negligent service.
Relatively pricey.
Leaves me full of lamb. (Don't ask.)
It's my mom's favorite Chinese restaurant and my dad loves the buffet. I almost feel like a bad son for not…More »
16. Goma Tei Ramen Restaurant
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID...
A nice place to sit.
Pork was much too fatty.
Excellent texture to the noodle.
The base was really thick and tasty.
It wasn't as salty as I thought it would be.
I had to keep myself from drinking the leftovers.
(HAPPY NEW YEAR!)More »
17. Yummy Korean B-B-Q
The thing I miss most about Hawaii.
Forget L&L (they're everywhere now). Yummy's is the only Hawaiian plate lunch place I miss desperately now that I live in California. I've searched all over the Bay Area and its environs for a comparable place, but…More »
18. Waiola Shave Ice
Honolulu, HI 96826
(808) 949-2269
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts,
Shaved Ice
Neighbourhood: Moilili
This is what defines shave ice from inferior snow cones: Delicate and melt-in-your-mouth, you won't have to go to the dentist after for cracked teeth.
Waiola was my first experience with shave ice when I still lived on Oahu. The mango shave ice is…More »
19. Ken's House of Pancakes
Diners are hit or miss. I'm happy to report that Ken's House of Pancakes is spot-on dead-on-the-money. As we used to say as kids in Hawaii, "ho brah, broke da mouf. I cannuh eat mo'."
I think I accidentally slipped in Scottish somewhere in there.
…More »
20. Honolulu International Airport
A lush and beautiful airport worthy of Hawaii. I like to sit depressed in the gardens before flying away.
When you first arrive, you get a huge hit of humidity, as if some really fat guy just farted in front of you... very warm and moist.
21. Consolidated Theatres - Kapolei 16
I remember when this theater first opened. The neon lights and large parking lot brought memories of old 60s cineplexes that I never had. I remember the cleanliness of this theater, and how convenient it was to get to as we lived right up the hill. I…More »
22. Hawaiian Airlines
Through looking glass I see
a brilliant cast of clarity,
shiny stars so far away
illuminate this hollow cage,
but clouds diffuse light
*blink*
