Cuisine and Nightlife

Board Meeting - Sip champagne as you watch the fishing boats ply Honolulu Harbor. Savor a Mai Tai by torchlight on the most famous beach on the planet. Let your mouth water as the scents of superb cooking by some of the world's greatest chefs waft across your table.

This is dining in Honolulu - where cultures blend, where the subtleties of the Orient mix with the bounty of the Occident. From grand, old-world restaurants to charming beachside bistros, from expansive verandas framed by swaying palms, the experiences are endless and endlessly satisfying.

Honolulu is the home of world-renowned Hawai'i Regional Cuisine. On the east coast, they call it "fusion." On the west it's "Pacific Rim." The reality is that it's pure Honolulu. It was born here, and many of the master chefs who created it still call Honolulu home.

But that's only the beginning, because virtually every cuisine you can imagine is represented here. In fact, if you're interested in a world tour of international culinary excellence, all you have to do is go restaurant hopping on the island of O'ahu or try a Hawaii cooking class.

And while you're at it, you're sure to encounter the hottest nightlife in the Pacific. Tight, layered jazz in the cool, chic clubs. Sizzling discos throbbing with excitement. The snap of the drum driving ancient kahiko hula. Swaying dancers and singers greeting the sunset in cozy cafes by the sparkling turquoise sea. Can you feel it? That's the pulse and heartbeat of this legendary city - alive and well in Paradise.
