HAWAIIWhere locals go

Back in the ‘60s, we thought that if someone opened Zippy’s in California, he would be a zillionaire. In Oahu, the locals eat there. The food is delicious. It is always my first stop when I touch down in Honolulu.

Zippy’s Restaurants, with locations across Oahu; (877) 677-8842, www.zippys.com. Lunches about $10.
