HAWAII | OAHU | HONOLULU
Awa sipping spots in Honolulu
Relax – it's awa. Stop and grab a bowl.
A decade ago, you couldn't find awa in Honolulu, but now there are two places to try the venerated drink.
Diamond Head Cove Health Bar, 3045 Monsarrat Ave.; (808) 732-8744. Open 10 a.m. to midnight with live music Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; all other days, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Kapahulu Kafe, 766 Kapahulu Ave., (808) 732-7486, . Open 6 p.m. to midnight Tuesdays through Sundays. Kapahulu Kafe has thatch on the walls and a fantastic painting of the Hawaiian creation story on the ceiling. The awa here is smooth and fresh, there's live music and the crowd is welcoming.
 Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up. |
