Reserve

What: Pick up the phone. Right now. Morning Glass Coffee & Cafe is hosting its first-ever four-course dinner and, as of this morning, only six seats are left. The menu hasn’t even been finalized – owner Eric Rose is waiting to see what local ingredients he can acquire for the night – but expect a meal with Asian influences. Based on our addiction to his swoon-worthy sandwiches, we’re already sold.

When: Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Where: Morning Glass Coffee & Cafe, 2955 E. Manoa Rd.

Details: $35 per person. For reservations, call (808) 673-0065.

This weekend, the local designer is back with twice as many styles and a new theme called “Cinnamon Story” (more about that here). Go early to meet Lynn and score first dibs on her new collection.

When: Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
