O’ahu is the most populous of the Hawaiian islands, and its conjoined hubs are the city of Honolulu and the world-famous Waikīkī Beach. The vast majority of visitors make Waikīkī their base, venturing out on day trips to take in Honolulu’s many cultural attractions, Pearl Harbor, and other parts of the island. The family-friendly beaches and parks of the South hore and Kāne’ohe District are in striking distance of Honolulu, while diehard surfers head for the North Coast. The Polynesian Cultural Center is also an easy day trip from the city.
-
On the shore of Pearl Harbor, Blaisdell is a family favorite due to its pavilion facilities, shade trees, and children’s play equipment.
-
Reputable firm on the Windward Coast.
-
Italian-Thai cuisine, but not as a fusion. The restaurant serves both simply because its owners know both – and it’s a yummy combo.
-
This stacked-high bookshop is a rare find in Hawai’i: a place run by readers for readers, with comfy chairs and a mix of used books and new titles. A great supply of locally published works, too.
-
The pies are Boston-style – thick edge, thin center, cheesy, saucy – and the attitude is East Coast too. That means “eat it and beat it.”
-
Aromatherapy oils, herbs, and seaweeds are added to whirlpool tubs to either calm or re-energize the body.
-
This venerable spot – a warren of dim rooms scented with the delicious aroma of grilling meat – turns out surf and turf for everyone from Lanikai millionaires to sandy surfers.
-
A longtime local favorite, Buzz’s is known for its generous salad bar, grilled steaks, and fresh seafood. The original “Original” is in Kailua.
-
Ample, cheap breakfasts and Mexican-accented lunches are the fare here; they’re open only until mid-afternoon. A popular surfer hangout, it’s good for people-watching and finding out what’s on in town.
-
Even if the Northern Italian food here wasn’t scrumptious, you’d still have to go just to see chef-owner Sergio Mitrotti’s wall and ceiling murals.
