Manifest, Honolulu

This cafe/bar hybrid is just another sign that the rebirth of Honolulu’s Historical Chinatown district is progressing, even if it’s ever so slowly. The morning will find the espresso machine humming the familiar tunes of mocha and cappuccino and the lines of area workers politely declaring their skinny and foam preferences. However, in the afternoon, the sounds of the post-work crowd sing a tune that is more festive. The sounds of beer bottles, martini shakers and crushed ice signal another workday has come to a close. Folks gather to celebrate or analyze the events of the day. -Lottie Tagupa
