As far as the kiosks go, I still buy stuff from them...Got me a killer large puka shell necklace from there for about $30, which is pretty cheap for the large pukas. The little tiki themed coffee shop upstairs is a nice place to relax, and the waterfall in front of the big banyan tree is always a great spot to take photos, and just sit and listen people watch. Especially now , with all the gucci and prada, high end shopping surrounding the IMP, it's a nice little escape from all that....like a little time capsule refuge in the middle of all that crass Beverly Hills BS that's on Kalakaua. Bottom line is, it just feels nice to be in there.
