What's special about Waikiki Beach: Waikiki Beach is the most-developed tourist area in Hawaii, with: rich history beautiful sea, and views of Diamond Head perfect surf for beginners, and good surf year-round a loveliness that persists even with concrete and high-rises Waikiki Beach History: Waikiki Beach has been inhabited since Polynesians arrived in these islands, and has seen much of the tumult of Hawaii's history: warrior kings, whaling ships, terrible epidemics, displaced Hawaiians, a deposed Queen, and of course tourist development starting over a century ago. Two venerable hotels still sit on the beach: the Sheraton Moana Surfrider and the pink Royal Hawaiian. Around them tower high-rises, and Kalakaua Avenue-- by Waikiki Beach-- is busy with shops and restaurants. Yet Waikiki Beach is still a lovely place. Dozens of surfers play off-shore all day. Kalakaua Avenue's winding wide sidewalk is dotted by pools, fountains, statues, and snippets of history on surfboard signs. Beachside Kapiolani Park has walkways and picnic tables. What's special about Waikiki Beach for families: many family-friendly hotels including suites and affordable choices (see below) sheltered beach with breakwater (Kuhio Beach area) great sand for castles beginner surf lessons for kids convenience of familiar fast food brands close to Waikiki Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium look for the four " Wizard Stones ". ( Read about their legend. ) Three fun activities: - Walk the wide sidewalk along Kalakaua Ave., pose your kids for a photo by the statue of "the father of modern surfing" Duke Kahanamoku (who revived this ancient sport of Hawaiian royalty), digest a little history from surfboad signs along with your favorite ice cream from Kalakaua's shops. You can walk to the Honolulu Zoo or Kapiolani Park. - Splurge on High Tea at the Sheraton Moana Surfrider: a classy hotel with a period-style verandah that faces the sea and a spectacular century-old banyan tree. Yes, tea: no mere drink but a ritual done in full British colonial style but with a kids' menu too. (And kids can go play and still be in view.) - Take in local events that give concrete Waikiki a human face: "Sunset on the Beach" at Waikiki Beach's Kapahulu Pier: the beach becomes an outdoor movie theatre, with food booths, free movies on a giant screen, other entertainment "Brunch on the Beach": once a month, traffic stops on busy Kalakoa Avenue by Kuhio Beach, and the street becomes an outdoor cafe with delicious food by island chefs, at bargain prices; entertainment, too.

Ordering Info. Books by Title Books by Category Upcoming Titles Reference Library Authors Reviews Interactive Area Search this site Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces by Robert Shaw In a land where the warmth afforded by a wool- or cotton-filled quilt is anything but a necessity, quiltmaking takes on an entirely new and different meaning Bringing elements of their Polynesian heritage to the American quilt, nineteenth-century Hawaiians created a distinctive and beautiful art form that is still actively practiced throughout the islands. Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces presents 55 remarkable historic and contemporary quilts, all reproduced in full color, which trace the history of the islands: from the early influences of missionaries and traders, to annexation by the United States and subsequent statehood, to the current concerns of today's Hawaiian quilt masters. Hawaii's stunning quilts capture the essence of the islands' overwhelming natural beauty. Early quilters developed the beloved Hawaiian appliqué quilt, its lovely floral designs cut like giant snowflakes from a single piece of cloth. They also created the unique tradition of the flag quilt, made to memorialize the glorious past of the Hawaiian kingdom that fell when the United States annexed the islands in 1898. This volume offers some of the finest examples of the islands' fabric art, highlighted by works of such masterful island quiltmakers as Elizabeth Akana, Sharon Balai, and Junedale Lauwaeomakana Quinories, whose clever variations on classic designs and techniques are spiced with subtle twists of modernity. This book's insightful and informative text tells how the designs of these extraordinary creations are grounded in spirituality, the indigenous flora, and the visual expression of history. Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces is the first new book on the subject in many years and is sure to become a standard reference in the field. If you are a lover of quilts, and if the idyllic geography and fascinating lore of the Hawaiian Islands lures you, then this is the perfect guide to the exotic and beautiful world of Hawaiian quilts. 9 x 12 in., 120 pages ISBN: 0-88363-396-5 $35.00 U.S., $47.50 Canada More info. about this book Buy This Book from . . .

If you have ever been then you would know EXACTLY what to expect - inexpensive, tasty and plentiful portions of Asian inspired dishes. YUM! Posted by Anonymous on 08/17/2005 Ordered Delivery The food was good and the price was great... Posted by ed on 07/06/2005 Just fair Ate at this location july 3. Mediocre at best. This is just a fast food restaurant. Posted by Boy Bunny on 07/05/2005 Paradise Pig Out Don't let the fast food decor fool you--the food is delicious AND cheap! I had the kahlua and lau lau combo--any restaurant that allows you to double up on pork is all right in my book. It was served with rice AND macaroni salad--two carbs instead of just one! Along with the usual ketchup, mustard, and relish, there was a very good Vietnamese hot sauce on the condiment stand. Lest you think I'm totally unhealth conscious, the taro leafs and cabbage that came with the kahlua and lau lau were tender and flavorful. The staff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely concerned about my dining experience. Posted by islander on 06/18/2005 Gotta love it Finally, authentic tasting island style bbq...cheap and does the trick. Having been away from the islands for a while, it's nice to know that I can still get a taste of home here in NYC. BBQ chicken, kalbi and mac salad just as I remember it. I was surprised they even had spam musubi! Read More ...

Hole-in-the-Wall Tour - Hawaii Food Tours Sugoi (Local-style Bento & Plate Lunch) Photo Courtesy of Hawaii Food Tours << Previous | Next >> Hawaii is the great melting pot of the United States. Nowhere else will you find so many cultures and ethnic groups all living together. While many of the cultures have mixed and mingled over the years, each culture maintains much of its ethnic heritage in its food. The Hole-in-the-Wall Tour takes you to four of the following restaurants: Pho Nam (Vietnamese) Zaffron (Indian) Sugoi (Local-style Bento & Plate Lunch) Antonios New York Pizzeria (Pizza & Cheesecake) Liliha Bakery (for the Hawaii-Famous Coco Puff Pastry) Scattered in four separate areas of metropolitan Oahu, these restaurants show you that good food is often found in the most unlikely places and that not all good food on Oahu is found in Waikiki. It really doesn't matter if you like all of the food you sample. There will be plenty of items that you will enjoy. For example, I am not big on vegetables and much of Vietnamese cuisine is heavy on vegetables. On the other hand, I really enjoy a good plate lunch and Sugoi was the perfect spot for a great Bento box with spicy garlic chicken, beef teriyaki and hapa rice. If you've ever had pizza in Hawaii, it's usually pretty bad, but Antonio's is owned and operated by two brothers from New Haven, Connecticut who make pizza like it should be made and cheesecake and cannoli to die for, As for the Liliha Bakery.... Well, you have to taste one of their coco puffs! This tour is offered daily from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The cost is a bargain at $59 per person.
