Honolulu
Kaimukī
A short main street behind Diamond Head that is where Honolulu goes out to eat.
Why go
Waialae Avenue has more good food in four blocks than Waikiki has in its entirety, and almost none of it is aimed at visitors.
The catch
Small rooms that fill, and several of the best are closed at the start of the week or take no bookings. Street parking only.

Getting there
Driving times on real roads, from the same data the trip planner routes on — not straight-line distance.
| From Waikīkī | 7 min | 2.2 miles |
|---|---|---|
| From HNL airport | 37 min | 17.2 miles |
| From Ala Moana | 8 min | 3 miles |
| From Downtown Honolulu | 11 min | 5.1 miles |
Add traffic. These are free-flowing times, and the H1 through town at eight in the morning is not free-flowing.
