SEE
The Honolulu Museum of Art is home to some of the most stunning art on Hawaii. They have lots of incredible works on display with a focus on Asian and European influence. A must-see is Doris Duke's Shangri La. Her beautiful home showcases the best of Islamic art and culture, and the interiors and architecture of the beachfront estate make it well worth a visit. Fishcake, in the Chinatown area, houses many of amazing artists and curated furniture. I always buy a few things when I visit. They also have a small cafe so you can enjoy coffee while you browse.

EAT
For dinner, Nanzan Giro Giro is stellar — I went back three times on one trip. It has a contemporary, kaiseki-style seven-course menu. A favourites is Nobu by Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The Asian-fusion restaurant is always on the agenda when in Hawaii.
