   There is hot food, iced fish and lots of vegetables and fruit. The bread is really yummy too. We parked in the parking garage and walked up and down the street. It’s not the cleanest of places and sometimes the smells can be quite disgusting. But it was definitely worth a visit just to see what it’s all about.

   • Sample the Local Cuisine. It would be a travesty to come all the way down to Chinatown and miss out on the wide selection of Asian cuisine. It’s no surprise that Chinese restaurants have reigned supreme around these parts since the area was originally established in the 1840s and 1850s (especially the local favorites that have been around for generations), but the neighborhood has since attracted a wider selection of trendy eateries as well.
   • Experience the Nightlife. One of the beauties of nightlife in Chinatown is that a majority of the best bars are next door to each other, making bar hopping and meeting up with friends a breeze.
   • Time Your Visit for First Fridays. On the first Friday of every month, Chinatown is the home to the biggest party on Oahu. Every bar, gallery, restaurant, and shop opens its doors with exhibits and entertainment for the community.
   • Go Shopping. Chinatown is home to plenty of antique and vintage stores, as well as eclectic shops with collectibles and unique gifts. You’re sure to find a treasure or two inside Barrio Vintage or Tin Can Mailman on Nu’uanu, while nearby In4Mation provides a selection of Hawaii-themed more current styles.
