Best of all, the accompanying photo shows the two tables that I usually end up sitting at during my lunchtime visits -- and also they hint that David might continue to bartend at some other restaurant. The only thing bad about the article is that the second half talks about the opening of the new Coyote Ugly Bar in DC. It just doesn't seem like a fair trade to me at all - we're giving up the Honolulu, and ending up with a place that refers itself to a 'dream fraternity party on steroids.' Arrrrgh! Vern
