Waikiki is no longer an area of Honolulu hostile to locals. We used to cringe at the thought of going there to recreate. Tourist trap catering to out of town money and wanting to keep us at bay with overpriced Hotels, Activities and Food. But the past decade has seen a revitalization that is bringing many of us back there to play.

One of the great things about the area is the abundance of cool places to dine (or as we say here: “Gots da good grindz, Brah!).

So this section of Neighborhood Crusin’ is picking up some fun places we want to share and enjoy!
