travel : dining general
Food is a very important part of Hawaii culture. People here love to eat, and the food they eat reflects the multi-cultural background of Hawaii's population. From shaved ice to plate lunches to fine Pacific Rim cuisine, make sure to save room to try a little bit of everything. If you've been to Hawaii before, you'll probably recognize all these places. I'm trying to give the first time visitor an idea of their options. If you think I've missed a place, let me know and I'll add it! :) If you want to look for more places you can start with the Honolulu Magazine Hale 'Aina Awards, Honolulu Advertiser Ilima Award winners, Honolulu Star-Bulletin Best, and the ono kine grindz blog (it's pretty well done with great pictures and good reviews). Yelp also has some good restaurant reviews, not to mention reviews of entertainment.
