You know that Farmers’ Markets are the latest rage when they show up in the middle of Waikiki. The management of the International Market Place has started a market (near the food court) replete with lei makers, farmers and a wide variety of prepared foods. Included are island favorites like pastele and laulau, which are infrequently seen in touristland. Vendors include Da Spot, Mahiku Farm, The Bread of Life and Manny’s Bakeshop. Thursdays, 4–8pm.
