LA Times Honolulu Chinatown Roundup: Nice Piece, Lots More to See
LAT visits Chinatown and declares it now hip. A decent read with decent coverage. They missed, however, the newer restaurants and many of the good hangouts. No reference to Mei Sum for Dim Sum or Hank's for piano bar's or...

Cool Bars: Murphy's
There are plenty of sports bars on this island, and most have one thing in common: they are adequate hangouts to watch football. But as the baseball season winds down, there is really only one place to experience the World...
