The Arts District

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Just west of downtown Honolulu and on the edge of Chinatown, the Arts District packs galleries and stages into a dozen walkable blocks, earning a 99 Walk Score and a spotless AQI of 17. Its 58 restaurants and 12 coffee shops draw a 4.9 Yelp average across nearly 2,000 reviews, and Foursquare's tastes flag theaters, bars, and Japanese and Asian kitchens. The favorites capture its creative pulse. @Sushi handles the fresh nigiri, The Sake Shop pours a deep selection of Japanese rice wine, and Thuong An Lac brings comforting Vietnamese plates. Fifteen parks thread through the blocks, giving the arts-and-appetite crowd plenty of open space.
