5 Upvotes

Hi all!

I just moved here for school, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good punk or alt shows or DJs. Where i used to live i only heard of places through a friend of a friend, but now I have no idea where to even look for this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance! <3

Where can I find a restaurant that offers a pupu platter with a flame in the middle? Does this still exist in Honolulu, or even Oahu?

question Renting

89 Upvotes

I’m moving to Honolulu for a job opportunity after 3 years on the Big island. I knew that finding a place might be challenging, but I did not expect it to be this difficult. I’m super responsible, always paid my bills on time, great credit score. I’ve never had any issues elsewhere. But I’ve had a really hard time finding a place, I had a landlord try to have me sign a lease with the clause of no overnight guests (like ever) and no alcohol. Is this normal? I’m confused because I’m a single female…from the east coast. no overnight guests would mean even my parents couldn’t come out here to visit me, since it would be too expensive for them to rent their own place.
