TheBus #2 from Waikiki drops you at Hotel and Bishop
streets, in front of the gleaming high-tech Executive Center
in downtown Honolulu. Just five minutes' walk away down
Hotel Street, the faded green-clapboard storefronts of
Chinatown seem like another world. Traditionally the
city's red-light district, the narrow streets leading down
to the Nuuanu Stream are still characterized by pool halls,
massage parlors and heavy-duty bars.
It's well worth delving into a few of Chinatown's
inconspicuous alleyways. Some of its old walled courtyards
are now modern malls, but the businesses remain much the
same as ever, and you can still find herbalists weighing out
dried leaves in front of vast arrays of bottles. Pig snouts
and salmon heads are among the food specialties at Oahu
Market , on N King and Kekaulike streets.
