Give Hawaii’s proximity to Asia, it’s no surprise that Honolulu has a thriving Chinatown. But it didn’t used to be that way. According to this article in the Los Angeles Times, Honolulu’s Chinatown is a newly revitalized wonderland of art museums and galleries, restaurants serving live eel and pigs’ heads, night clubs pulsating with a hip, international crowd. Thanks to the local arts community and preservationists, this 20-block area now boasts more 50 restaurants and a market with vendors hawking jewelry, exotic fruits, and more.
