Restaurant Row is a popular business and entertainment center in Honolulu, Oahu. It is located on Ala Moana Blvd near Honolulu downtown. The place has several office buildings built in a circle and in the middle of it is an open area where there is a bar, food tables, palm trees, gardens, a movie theatre and of course restaurants.

I used to work in that area several years ago and I happened to pass by today again – Saturday July 5th in the afternoon. Despite its name “Restaurant Row,” all the restaurants were closed but Subway! So if you wanted to eat something, you would not find anything else but a subway sandwich, where there was a long waiting line.

Maybe the restaurants were closed because of the long holiday weekend. I don’t know if they are closed on a normal Saturday or Sunday, but if you plan to go dining there in a weekend after a big holiday, don’t get disappointed to find out that only Subway is open.

Despite that, Restaurant Row is a good place to chill out for a bit and have a drink in the open bar there. If you don’t want to drink you can just get a book and read at one of the many tables there.

And here are some Restaurant Row photos.
