The Zippy’s at Kahala will be shutting down, likely by year’s end or early next year, for renovations.
The Kahala waitstaff will be diverted to other branches, surely an inconvenience.
The closure, said one waitress, will last for about three months, which means us East Siders now may have to drive to the Makiki branch of Zippy’s for a sit-down meal and chat-chat. This one’s brighter and larger than the branch in-between Zippy’s offices on King Street and Kaimuki Middle School.
Meanwhile, the rumors persist that Zippy’s Koko Marina take-out could be shuttered like the already closed dining room…
Red velvet ice cream
It may take me quite a spell, but I’m trying to order a different ice cream flavor at each visit to Hammond’s at the Koko Marina Center.
Latest joy: Red velvet cake, mixed with vanilla ice cream.
Always loved the red velvet dessert cake (not widely available these days), so naturally, found this choice perfect for a warm afternoon treat…
Bedbugs found at Ala Moana Center food court
Why is the Ala Moana Center food court closed, you ask?
A very good reason: It’s shut down due to bed bug infiltration.
No reopening date yet, but they’d better thoroughly spray those antiquated seats and backboards…
