It’s Mother’s Day, so naturally I’m walking out of Butcher & Bird with some dry-aged steaks for Mom when I spot a brand new gelato shop downstairs. 7 Gradi’s posts on Instagram have already piqued my interest, but what I glimpse through the glass looks like a collection of space-age machines. And do I see croffles? I have so many questions and I’m...

I spend a lot of time in Waikīkī, and I usually know what’s new here before anyone else. Except this time. I walked down a side street—Kealohilani Avenue, to be specific, which connects Kalākaua and Kūhiō avenues—and noticed a food truck parked against the backside of the ʻAlohilani Resort Waikīkī Beach. There was no one around. I assumed it was an...

This is dangerous. My walking route runs along Beretania directly past ‘Ili‘ili Cash and Carry, making it way too easy to drop in regularly. That’s just what Aker Briceno and Keola Rapozo envisioned when they scoped out the former Watanabe Bakery space next to Mini Garden last year.
