Real Tail Gating

Shop
Drive In Shopping
What: 50 new shops are coming to Ala Moana Center, for four hours at least. Today, the mall launches its first ever Farmers’ Market. Snack on fresh baked croissants from the North Shore’s Baker Dudes, Ono’s Seafood’s poke, top grade produce from Rooftop Farmers, or Madre Chocolate’s raw chocolate bar with a surprising wine-like finish while listening to the music of local entertainers such as Lopaka Brown.

Hike
Just Rooting Around
What: Having trouble weeding out the outdoor activities for your holiday weekend? Get your Eco-Action girl scout badge on the Manoa Cliff Restoration Hike. Work off your pau hana Friday with a one-and-a-half mile hike to clear out invasive plants along the Manoa Cliff Trail.
When:Tomorrow, 9 a.m. – noon
Where: Meet at the Manoa Cliff Trailhead, a small parking area on the right side of the road just after 4005 Round Top Dr.
Details: Bring gardening tools, food, water, insect repellent (or try the AntiMosquito Fumigator App), and a change of clothes. Visit the Manoa Cliff website for more information or email manoacliffnatives@gmail.com.
Download
Buzzworthy App
What: Outdoor activities really bite when mosquitoes crash your party. The free AntiMosquito Fumigator App swears it will shoo away pests with two ultrasound repellants. We found the “open air” setting a loud buzz but the “ultrasound” won’t disturb your ears.
Details: Find it on the iTunes store
DVR/Tape
We Die
What: She’s back, without Brad but with Jeremiah Brent (who?), Rog with facial hair, oh, and a little one with a multi-million dollar wardrobe. No matter what, we have to tune in to the Rachel Zoe Project premiere – We can’t help it.
When: Tuesday, 7 p.m.
Where: Bravo
Anticipate
Coming Soon
September 7 – Spain’s answer to H&M, Zara, launches its online store, cutting the number of shops you need to hit on your mainland trips.
February – So you picked up the bag, now you want to walk down the aisle like Kim Kardashian. Vera Wang is releasing designs reminiscent of two of the reality show star’s wedding dresses in David’s Bridal for under $1,600 each.
