Hey,

I was there not that long ago. The International Market Place is an open-air market in the heart of Waikiki, built around a 100-year-old banyan tree. This labyrinth of kiosks near Thor's was pretty fruitful for me. You must stop in Thors! Be sure and check out "Da Big Kahuna", when I was there this really nice and amazing looking bartender was working there (sigh).

"Tiki's" is right down on the main drag and you won't be able to miss it.

Aloha Tower Marketplace at the Honolulu waterfront located at Piers 8, 9 and 10 on Honolulu Harbor is a pretty cool place for shopping and lunch. And you may see my old ship, the 378 ft Coast Guard Cutter Sherman moored across the basin. If I remember correctly within walking distance of this area is a China-town like section that had great shopping for those small in-expensive gifts for nephew's, nieces and the person watching your pet or watering your plants while your away.
