Food Scene
The place is super quaint and has awesome bagel fusion dishes. My favorite dish is the Tuna Melt with Avocado, Tomato, and Cheddar. I highly recommend going here for breakfast, brunch or lunch as they're only open from 7am to 2pm Mon-Sat and closed on Sundays.

This Vietnamese restaurant is walking distance from the building if you don't want to drive somewhere for dinner. It has great Pho soups, rice and noodle dishes as well as yummy appetizers like spring rolls. It's convenient that they're the only place open all weekend and they don't close until 9:30pm.

This is my all time favorite Italian restaurant as they make every dish from scratch. The food takes a little longer to prepare, but it's always packed because the food is so good. It's a romantic spot and a little pricey, but totally worth it!

Drinks & Nightlife
I like this bar as it's walking distance and also because the drinks are great. They also have a good bar menu with more gourmet dishes unlike your normal bar food. It has a good vibe and it's a great place to grab a drink and chill.

Parks & Nature
Great views from Diamond Head and a fairly easy hike up. I would go early in the morning to avoid crowds and it's $1 entrance fee.

Beautiful views from Koko Head but get ready for a major work out! It's 1300 steps up to the top of this mountain, but it's well worth it once you've reached the top.
