CHILL OUT

SHAKE IT UP

Jump in a cab to Chinatown’s

Manifest (manifesthawaii.com),

where you’ll fi nd award-winning

mixologist Justin Park. Plus, the

fi rst Friday of every month is

Chinatown’s “First Friday”, where

the streets shut down and all the

bars get extra buzzy. A must.

its Mai Tai (it o‡ ers fi ve di‡ erent
