Clubs-

Must Drinks:
La Mariana, 50 Sand Island Rd, Kalihi/Sand Island
Turn toward the ocean on Sand Island Rd. from Nimitz Hwy.; immediately after the first stoplight on Sand Island, take a right and drive toward the ocean; it's not far from the airport 808/848-2800. Fifty year old tiki bar in an industrial part of Honolulu. Early and erratic hours. Dinner too, but the drinks are the real attraction.

Hilo area-
Cafe 100 is a local institution, and the birthplace of the Loco Moco, an egg over rice and gravy.
They eat more spam than anyone else in Hawaii.
Obviously, I need lots of help with this one.
