Greetings All; I paid a visit to the Honolulu this evening with a coworker, and I'm sad to report that the demise of the Honolulu is now imminent. This was my first, and sadly, quite probably my last visit to the Restaurant since I am only working here in the D.C. area for a couple of days this time around.

David Chan and his wife were charming, the drinks were amazing (puca punch and mai-tai's), and the Peking Duck was a treat. The decor is ... well, it's classic. What can I say? The only thing marring the decor are sticky notes identifying each item in the Restaurant that will be sold by silent auction between March 3 and April 3 of this year. All items purchased must be picked up the week of April 11th, so the end is truly nigh.

I have a list of items that are up for auction, and will post the list online as soon as I get home. Probably over 100 items total, including the giant clamshell lights, the tikis (interior and exterior), the pufferfish lights, and the bar-set (top, bottom, and glass rack). I'm getting depressed just writing it down ...

If anyone is planning a first or last visit, or if someone wants to get a farewell dinner together, now is the time - drop me a line if something is planned and I'll see if I can organize some more jobs here in D.C.

Cheers!
