Recent PostsHidden Gem: HASR Wine Co.Monday, September 06, 2010
Tucked into a small courtyard with a peaceful burbling fountain off Pauahi Street in Chinatown is the best wine store on Oahu.
Closing in on the victoryWednesday, September 01, 2010
Second place is losing (they say) and not worth crowing about, but our scrappy team came just inches shy of glory at last night's Stump! trivia smackdown at The Manifest, and I can't help but think a victory is, well, manifest.
Winding down at RumFireTuesday, August 31, 2010
On Friday, I walked around Diamond Head, lounged and snapped photos at Duke's OceanFest and consumed more food and tea on the Veranda at the Moana Surfrider than one human should rightly pack in. How's a girl to cap that?
Duke's OceanFest: Water, sun, alohaFriday, August 27, 2010
WAIKIKI — What I love about the Duke's OceanFest competition is... it's not really a competition.
Local file: Appreciate it!Thursday, August 26, 2010
It's easy to forget when you live in a place its uniqueness and allure. That's true of most places, even in the world's most tantalizing destinations. You just... get used to it. But it's different with Hawaii.
Turning the Big One at Fresh CafeTuesday, August 24, 2010
Saturday was the occasion of Yelp's first birthday in Hawaii – that site with the "power to the people" reviews of restaurants and more. They hosted it at the urban, arty Fresh Cafe, which itself just hit a year in business.
Kaunala Trail: For that 'Where Am I?' feeling...Monday, August 23, 2010
Oahu has hiking enthusiasts aplenty, so it was unusual to see a trail with hardly anyone on it. Guess that's the benefit of hiking in remote Pupukea on the famed North Shore.
Joy of Sake... joyful indeedFriday, August 20, 2010
It was a packed house at the Academy of Arts for the Joy of Sake Thursday night. More than 300 sakes with various degrees of rice refinement (as noted by labels Daiginjo, Junmai and Ginjo) were available for tasting. It's hard to get your head around the scope of that, but simply put, you're not going to try all of them.
Storming Stump! at The Manifest in HonoluluWednesday, August 18, 2010
We're getting a weekly pau hana ("work is done," aka happy hour) thing going at the Team Vision Virtual offices. The Manifest, an art-filled, edgy bar in Honolulu's Arts District in Chinatown, offers a trivia night on Tuesdays called Stump!
Hidden Gem: SasabuneWednesday, August 11, 2010
One assumption you might make about a Hidden Gem is that the product or service (in this case, food) that's being proffered is exquisite and unique, a must-have or-do experience, but not easily found or well known. And you'd be right. But this one you may have heard about. They're legendary, after all. But tucked into a nondescript strip mall on King Street near Keeaumoku in Honolulu, you wouldn't know it by looking at it.
Let the music carry youMonday, August 09, 2010
Well, we'll have to look into a better mic for the EVO phone, but you can still get a taste of Na Palapalai serenading the happily laid-back crowd at Bishop Museum's Moonlight Mele outdoor concert series this weekend.
Scraping the skies of OahuWednesday, August 04, 2010
Hiking is one of the best ways to see Hawaii without the many filters of the "visitor" experience. Just a strikingly gorgeous chain of islands, perfectly isolated and unique in its geography, from unforgiving lava terrain to lush, tropical jungles.
Jessica Pang's staycationMonday, August 02, 2010
Those of us who live in Hawaii are often asked where we go on vacation – and usually with a droll smile indicating that we would have no reason to travel anywhere since we're already in paradise. And, well, not to brag, but sure – nothing makes us happier than staycations
Hidden Gem: Hank's Haute DogsFriday, July 30, 2010
When you make the turn mauka (mountain-bound) onto Coral Street from Ala Moana Boulevard to find Hank's Haute Dogs, don't worry – you didn't make a wrong turn. The commercial/industrial-zoned Kakaako neighborhood doesn't look like it'd be the home of deluxe, gourmet hot dogs extraordinaire, but it is, and you've come to the right place. Get ready for Hot Dog Bliss.
Local file: Give karaoke a goTuesday, July 27, 2010
We have a lot of pastimes in Hawaii that fit nicely into the leisurely pace of life: surfing, barbecues and luau, fishing, grabbing drinks and "grinds" with friends after hiking or golfing... the list goes on. But here's one you may not know about: Karaoke.
Aloha Friday: Do it up rightSaturday, July 24, 2010
Friday isn't just another day in Hawaii, a simple end to the work week. People here call it "Aloha Friday" and mean it -- it's time to reconnect with friends and family for beachside barbecues, go surf and hike, be out among the paradise we call home. We get loose, we get happy.
Video: Carapelho on Sunrise program with Howard DicusWednesday, July 21, 2010
Team Vision Virtual CEO Craig Carapelho discussed 3DHawaii.com with interviewer Howard Dicus on Sunrise, a local Honolulu morning program.
TVV's must-do's in HawaiiTuesday, July 20, 2010
Believe it or not, the scrappy group at Team Vision Virtual doesn't spend all day behind a desk working out website kinks (though, admittedly, pre-launch there was a stretch of it). We get out to play, too!
3DHawaii.com train rollingWednesday, July 14, 2010
We're a few days in and a big media push is coming. Have you seen the content? Activities? 3DHawaii.com is launched and blazing.
