One of our favorite places to re-visit is the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum on Oahu.  Not only is it a fantastic museum of culture and arts, but it provides community events.  

One of them is the After Hours night 5-9pm, the 2nd Friday of each month.  You can grab and snack and a bevy while listening to live music or trying your hand at native arts.  It's a casual event not to be missed if you are looking to rub elbows with the locals.

Kaka'ako is the home of vibrant and ever evolving clever street art.  This neighborhood can be found just south of downtown Honolulu and adjacent to Ala Moana.

After taking in all the murals, head to Salt for a little shopping and lunch.
