Da Meter: What’s Hot and What’s Not in Honolulu

Gauging what’s hot and what’s not in Honolulu.

Chee hoo! We’re stoked
 

Chef Ed Kenney has opened Kaimukī Superette, located directly across from his restaurant Town. The new eatery boasts similar dishes to his restaurant Downtown in the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, which closed in 2012.

Moscow International Circus comes to the Blaisdell Center this month, but it won’t feature some of its trademark large animals. Good job, PETA.

Kini Zamora is following in the footsteps of Hawai‘i’s Ari South on Project Runway (we hope). Make it work, Kini.

Auwē! Ho, small kine shame, yeah?
