Top Muslim Travel Tips for Honolulu/Western

• Aloha Stadium - at Salt Lake Blvd and Kamehameha Highway 21.3727, -157.9299 - Home to the University of Hawaii football team and the annual NCAA football Hawaii Bowl every December.

• Ice Palace - 4510 Salt Lake Blvd 21.3657, -157.9273 ☎ +1 808 487-9921 - An ice rink is probably the last thing you'd expect to find in a tropical city, but at least it makes for the perfect getaway if the hot climate is too much for you. If you don't own a pair of skates and there is a skate rental desk immediately when you enter the building. If skating is not of interest there is a concession stand and two arcade game rooms.

• Sand Island Beach Park | Sand Island 21.3010, -157.8718 from the Nimitz Highway, take the Sand Island access road to the harbor - Tucked away behind an industrial area facing the Honolulu Harbor, this large park offers plenty of green lawns, excellent views of Downtown, and a very calm sandy beach that's never crowded and with fairly good swimming. No lifeguards; restrooms and picnic tables available.

Shopping

• Aloha Stadium Swap Meet - Aloha Stadium, 99-500 Salt lake Blvd ☎ +1 808 486-6704 Opening Hours: W, Saturday 8AM Monday - 3PM, Sunday 6:30AM Monday - 3PM $1 per buyer, under 12 free Hawaii's largest swap meet. Bring your hat, sunscreen, and bottled water and plan at least 1/2 day. The swap meet is like a giant outdoor flea market, surrounding Aloha Stadium, and features merchants offering local food items, clothing and Hawaiian souvenirs. You are unlikely to find Hawaiian souvenirs for less money anywhere else. The prices are reasonable, haggling allowed, unique items from local artists and merchants abound. Most places are cash only, but there are a few standalone ATMs on the outskirts of the swap meet.

Halal Food & Restaurants

• Helena's Hawaiian Food - 1240 North School Street 21.33083, -157.86519 +1 808 845-8044 Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday 10:30AM Monday - 7:30PM Serving freshly-prepared local food in the plate lunch style, Helena's is known for their Korean-style short ribs (galbi) and their lau lau. They tend to fill during mealtimes, and parking is scarce, so arriving just after the lunch rush or walking from the nearby Bishop Museum is recommended.

• Zippy's - The island equivalent of Denny's, though far more popular with the local residents. There's a wide variety of food, including plate lunches at reasonable prices; their signature dish is their chili, which they prepare in many different ways: served over Rice, over a burrito, or over french fries, to name a few.

• Zippy's Dillingham 1210 Dillingham Blvd 21.3228, -157.8737 ☎ +1 808 832-1750

• Zippy's Kalihi 904 Mokauea Street 21.3318, -157.8780 ☎ +1 808 832-1755

• Zippy's Nimitz 666 North Nimitz Highway 21.3134, -157.8704 ☎ +1 808 532-4205

• La Mariana Sailing Club - 50 Sand Island Access Road 21.3222, -157.8929 ☎ +1 808 848-2800 - Not much to speak of in terms of food or drink (their Mai Tai is alright) but the decor is straight out of a tiki-lovers paradise.
