Storytelling is ingrained in everyday life in Hawai‘i and within everything we do at International Market Place.
Many of my aunties and uncles reminisce and share stories when they visited International Market Place during the Golden Age of tiki culture. In the 60’s Don Ho would launch his career at Duke Kahanamoku’s nightclub at International Market Place with the help of his hit song “Tiny Bubbles.” Occasionally a Hollywood star would stroll through and join in on the festivities. Judy Garland or Frank Sinatra, for example. Can you imagine?
Take a step back in time as for the first-time ever we are able to share the history of this land, known as Kaluaokau, and Royal Family like never before with our new audio tour: “The Gathering Place of Waikiki: Fit for a Queen.” To listen visit our website ShopInternationalMarketPlace.com.
Hula is the storytelling dance of the Hawaiian Islands and there are plenty of opportunities to see hula at International Market Place weeklywhether at Moani Waikiki’s Hawaiian style Pā‘ina, Queens Waikiki Luau or O Nā Lanai Sunset Stories shows.
Get ready to grab a drink and talk story (chat informally) at over eight restaurants and bars that feature our beloved mixologists – not to mention daily happy hours. Make sure to check out the newest eateries: Liliha Bakery (grab a world-renowned coco puff), Uncle Sharkii Poke, Moani Waikiki (try the Madame Pele prawns & stay
for the live local bands) and Skybox Taphouse (for a thirst-quenching local draft, margherita pizza or delicious meatballs). Let’s be honest, you cannot go wrong anywhere you choose!
If you miss the nostalgia of the past, this year we brought back Mahiku Farmers Market who was an original partner at International Market Place. Mahiku Farms Market invites you to experience the variety of fresh and unique products offered by local farmers, growers, artisans, and food purveyors.
There is always something happening at International Market Place that nowadays I find myself sharing these stories of the past and present with kama‘āinaa (local residents) and visitors from all over the world. The bustling shops, warm trade winds and evening glow even feels like the past has been reimagined in a whole new way.
As always, mahalo to our customers near and far for frequenting our shopping, dining and entertainment destination and in turn, supporting more than 4,000 employees that work at International Market Place.
A Hawaiian saying, “I ka wā ma mua, ka wā ma hope” (through the past is the future) reminds us the importance of honoring these stories for generations to come. I hope you join us in being part of our story here at International Market Place, where the story continues with you.
Mahalo for being part of our story,

About Banyan and the roots of International Market Place
Known as Kaluaokau in the days of Hawaiian royalty, International Market Place possesses an allure that is much the same now as it was back then—attracting not only locals but also entertainers, celebrities, and visitors from around the world. That allure has existed at International Market Place since its opening in 1957. For decades, the charm of this wahi pana (storied place) was present in the display of cart vendors selling tropical trinkets, the array of exotic eateries, and the famous venues for live entertainment. In bringing the past to the present, Banyan presents a fascinating cultural perspective on Waikīkī and offers a glimpse of why International Market Place has been a sought-after destination for centuries.

History Remastered
International Market Place’s new audio tour, “The Gathering Place of Waikīkī: Fit for a Queen,” offers an immersive journey into Waikīkī’s storied past.
When International Market Place (IMP) hired Nāpali Souza of local brand strategy firm DTL Hawai‘i to develop an audio tour for its Waikīkī shopping center visitors, Souza saw an opportunity to spin something original and impactful. Initially, the tour was intended to be a straightforward audio version of the center’s existing Cultural Journey—a series of 25 plaques featuring interesting historical tidbits, located at landmarks throughout the center— but Souza instead envisioned an immersive auditory experience that would spark listeners’ imagination and deliver a richer understanding of the colorful history of Waikīkī, IMP, and Native Hawaiian history. For the GPS-enabled audio tour, IMP teamed up with TravelStorys, a mobile app that provides hands-free, location-based audio prompts without the need for cell service or Wi-Fi. When
visitors walk through the center, geotags will automatically initiate descriptive soundbites on their mobile devices as they encounter 20 stops along the tour, each focused on an architectural feature that recalls specific people, places, or practices of Waikīkī past.
The soundbites cover a medley of local trivia spanning precontact Hawai‘i to contemporary times, dishing on such topics as the crucial role of local streams, legendary Hawaiian musicians including Don Ho who once played at the original center, and the backstory of the 60-foot banyan tree which used to house a radio station in IMP’s heyday.
Listeners will also enjoy an earful of the life of Queen Emma Na‘ea Rooke—wife of King Kamehameha IV and queen of Hawai‘i from 1855 to 1863—who bequeathed much of her land in trust, including the IMP site, to support the Queen’s Hospital, which she co-founded along with her husband.
In curating the content for the audio tour, Souza set out to
LINDSEY KESEL | JOHN HOOK AND SKYE YONAMINE
establish a strong sense of place to underscore the bite-sized stories. To help with context and nuance, he consulted texts from trusted authors in the Hawaiian history and culture genre—including In Haste with Aloha: Letters and Diaries of Queen Emma by David W. Forbes, and Waikīkī 100 B.C. to 1900 A.D.: An Untold Story by George Kanahele.
Though Souza had many years under his belt researching Hawaiian history and culture, the part-Hawaiian producer learned on the fly for the technical side of the audio tour design. To create the soundbites, he used the TravelStorys recording kit, which included a tri-fold foam-buffered mic, to capture himself narrating. Then he layered in two additional tracks—music and soundscapes—to support the narrative flow.
“As a long-time podcast listener, I knew there needed to 歴史を復元 インターナショナルマーケットプレイスでは、ワイキキの歴史を 振り返り、ハワイアンカルチャーに浸ることのできる新しいオー ディオツアーを提供しています。
be sound effects to give the audio tour that immersive quality,” says Souza. “Even with a short clip, the background sound signals a transition in the narrative. That's something you can visually see with a paragraph break, but with the ear, you need to hear it.”
In the center’s Queens Court area, the audio stop entitled “The Queen’s Garden: A Legacy of Care” features Souza’s mom, musician and entertainer Mihana Souza, as the voice of Queen Emma.
At other locations, listeners will hear traces of bubbling water that mimic the freshwater springs of Waikīkī, birdsongs symbolizing the Manu-o-Kū seabirds that make
their nest in the central Banyan tree today, and Souza’s voice reciting a rendition of “Welina Mānoa,” a welcome chant composed by Keawe and Tracie Lopes.
In addition to traditional Hawaiian melodies marked by steel guitar and ‘ukulele, orchestral and ethereal ambient music further enhance the aural experience.
With its novel approach to making Hawaiian culture and history engaging and entertaining, the IMP audio tour offers a pleasurable jaunt into Waikīkī’s past, full of intrigue, Hawaiian legends, and even a touch of romance. When the tour launched on May 1, Souza hoped listeners
would walk away feeling a sense of connection with the land under their feet.
“It’s a source of pride for me to live in a place where my ancestors are from,” he says. “With this audio tour, the idea is not to change people’s understanding completely of what Hawai‘i is and its history, but at least to bring awareness to its roots.”

A Pā‘ina for All
The new lū ‘ au in International Market Place’s Queens Courtyard is an excellent introduction to this celebrated Hawaiian experience.
There are few places more unexpected for a lū‘au than the middle of a shopping complex. But for the popular Queens Waikīkī Lū‘au, held three nights weekly at International Market Place, the semi-public arena is an opportunity to wow visitors and locals in an especially intimate setting.
Touted as “the most intimate lū‘au in Waikīkī,” this locally owned and operated lū‘au has all the ingredients of any traditional Hawaiian pā‘ina, or feast: food, music, and dance. The authenticity and polish of the entertainment, which includes a full show featuring the music and dance of Hawai‘i, New Zealand, Samoa, and Tahiti, holds all eyes on the center stage.
“We are honored to bring life back into International Market Place’s entertainment scene by sharing Polynesian culture,” says Devon Tsai, Sales & Marketing Coordinator for the lū‘au.
Turns out the public spectacle is a brilliant way to spread the word, too. My table companions, a family from New Mexico, comment that they watched part of the show from the balcony the previous night but wanted a closer look. Others are drawn to the convenience of a
show near where they are staying, or emphasized the reasonable price point, as compared to some of the larger productions.
From the start, International Market Place has been rooted in the concept of an entertainment and shopping mecca. In the 1950s, under the direction of founder and tiki legend Donn Beach, also known as Don the Beachcomber, generations of notable musicians like singer Don Ho, “father of exotica” Martin Denny, Auntie Genoa Keawe, and many others performed at the Market Place’s nightclubs. Some even serenaded crowds under the iconic banyan tree—the very same one still rooted in the Market Place today. On Sundays, Beach hosted a lū‘au, which became just as much a ritual for visitors as having a Mai Tai at the famed Don the Beachcomber tiki bar or riding in a rickshaw around the Market Place on a warm tropical evening.
Far from the kitsch of the ’50s and ’60s tiki craze but no less enjoyable, this modern show
TRACY CHAN | CHRIS ROHRER
balances authentic hula kahiko (ancient hula) and the sweet harmonies of a classic Hawaiian music ensemble with the timeless hospitality and fun of an “everybody is ‘ohana” backyard gathering. The outgoing staff assist in this impression, circulating among the crowd, chatting comfortably and bestowing temporary tattoos in simple Polynesian designs or crafting banana leaf haku (head) lei, which every audience member is soon wearing as a crown.
As dusk falls and the festive lights cascading from the trees cast a magical ambiance over the Queens Courtyard, a space dedicated to Queen Emma, our tables are released one by one to the food line, where the friendly staff serves up mac salad, barbecue chicken, chicken long rice noodles, kalua pork, and vegetables. The food is more local than traditional Hawaiian, but no one seems to mind.
It’s after everyone is comfortably seated to eat that the fun really begins, as talented dancers take the stage to demonstrate the dances of Polynesia.
The highlight of the night is a series of Samoan fire knife demonstrations by “Chief Tui” Tuileta, who is joined by a pair of talented dancers. Renowned for its daring and skill, the traditional fire knife dance, or Siva Afi, is unashamedly dramatic, involving the artful twirling, throwing, and catching of a double-ended weapon with both ends ablaze.
Tearing my eyes away from the fiery, whirling spectacle, I see watchers lining all levels of the International Market Place, attracted by the shouts and drumming. Their shadowy figures spectating from the floors above, though, look far away; down in the courtyard, we can feel the heat of the fire, the vibrations of the drumming in our feet.
Tonight, these watchers are getting a taste of what we are experiencing at the ground level. Tomorrow night, some of them may be sitting in the audience.
After the professional show is over, it’s the audience’s turn. Calling for volunteers, the charismatic host coaxes people from each table up to the stage, where they’re briefed in Tahitian hip-shaking before strutting their stuff to the seated crowd. The night is full of cheers and laughter, and as I glance over to one of my table companions, who is bobbing her head to the music, her eyes shining with joy, I realize what it is that has attracted celebrants from all over the world to the Hawaiian lū‘au for so many generations – put simply, it’s fun.

To Market
Mahiku Farmers Market returns to the International Market Place after a nine-year hiatus, with fresh produce, goodies, and gifts.
There’s no better way to experience a fresh, authentic taste of Hawai‘i’s locally grown produce and goods than visiting a farmers market. Fortunately, there’s now one, with a wide variety of vendors offering everything from smallbatch Hawaiian coffee to hot food, right in the heart of Waikīkī.
The Mahiku Farmers Market at International Market Place, one of several on O‘ahu with owner Sonny Doung at the helm, has made a historic return after nine years away, bringing local produce and prepared food vendors, as well as local artisans and crafters, back to set up their tables on the ground floor of the center, where they line the serene gardens, water works and nooks of the main throughfare.
The concept of a bazaar featuring local vendors is at the core of International Market Place’s history. When it opened in 1957, the vision of its founder, Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, otherwise known as the legendary Donn Beach, was that
TRACY CHAN | JOHN HOOK
of a marketplace representing tiki culture, with handmade crafts from around the Pacific.
During the tourist boom of the 1960s, it evolved into an entertainment hot spot with themed international “villages” and its trademark thatched vendor stalls, which sold folk art, kitschy coconut hats, hula skirts, baskets, and an eclectic assortment of souvenirs. Wandering through it was a magical experience that many remember with fondness.
From 2009 to 2013, before the center was remodeled, Mahiku Farmers Market was a staple at International Market Place, bustling with a lively trade, as visitors and residents alike browsed its variety of local vendors.
While a lot has changed in the nine years since Doung farmers market has set up its stalls there, he says actual operations aren’t that much different. Now, you’ll find a little bit of everything beneath the spreading branches of the center’s giant banyan tree:
from cut fruit and warm, sugary malasadas to artwork, jewelry, and fragrant handmade soap.
These markets, an age-old concept that have been around almost as long as farms themselves, play another important role — that of small business incubator.
Steve Miller and his wife Ruiko, the owners of Sweet Brown Hawai‘i Caramel, have been selling their delicious, small-batch candy treats at farmers markets for just over five years. As a small business without a brick-and-mortar store, it gives them the opportunity to meet people and introduce their caramels to a wider audience.
“We take a lot of pride in our product,” says Miller. “Whether you're an artist or a baker, small businesses take a lot of pride in our work because we’re the ones doing it ourselves. That's what I really like about being here."
Farmers, especially those from other islands, are given a golden opportunity to reach O‘ahu’s visitor market at International Market Place.
Based in the quiet southern Ka‘ū region of the Big Island, longtime family-run farm Aikane Plantation Coffee Company are proud growers of a variety of Ka‘ū coffee introduced to Hawai‘i in 1894, when founder J.C. Searle planted the first crop on his plantation. But that illustrious history means nothing, unless they can reach buyers who appreciate it.
“To sell the coffee, we have to go where there’s people,” says Director Scott Halsted. “We don't
want a coffee shop because we’re just farmers, and we have a limited supply of our product. This is a new market, but if you stick it out, it will become so busy."
On market night, notes of a Hawaiian slack-key song drift on the tropical evening breeze, over the leisurely strolling crowd. It’s an hour to closing, and vendors like Oh’s Kitchen, which serves up delicious-smelling meat skewers, and a tent advertising “Portuguese Malasada – Hawaiian Style” are still doing brisk business.
Nearby, the heavenly scents of Hilo Soap Company’s colorful handmade bars of soap and perfumes make a group of women
pause. A few tables down, small jars of Hawaiian honey and fruit butter attract buyers looking for omiyage, the Japanese concept of a gift one gives when traveling, the more local to a place, the better.
Here, in the beating heart of Waikīkī, the desire to experience and support local thrives.
Visit the Mahiku Farmers Market at International Market Place on Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m.
The Sweet Spot
Few things in life render the passage of time irrelevant like a good recipe passed down through generations—or several hundred recipes.
Since 1950, Liliha Bakery patrons have enjoyed a bakery and diner in one, with an impressive range of menu options in both the “freshly baked goods” and “hearty home cooked meals” categories. At any of the four current locations, you can order hamburger steak and strawberry cream pie like grandma used to make, and sample more contemporary inventions like their Poi Mochi Donut.
Endeared by locals and sought out by visitors, Liliha Bakery has earned its place as a quintessential part of Hawai‘i’s culinary landscape and become a “must-try” foodie destination. Ask anyone who grew
up on O‘ahu about the diner, and they’ll tell you a story about the first time they tried its famous Coco Puff—the bakery’s signature pastry, a cream puff piped with chocolate pudding and topped with Chantilly icing.
Or they might describe the mysterious translucent red jelly the bakery serves on the side of its impossibly tender grilled butter rolls, affectionately called “nuclear jelly.” Or maybe they’d just get a sudden craving for a short stack and a Denver omelette, and invite you to partake in Liliha Bakery’s all-day breakfast.
Whatever it is that turns firsttimers into die-hard regulars took root when Roy and Koo Takakuwa started Liliha Bakery as a small bread shop on Liliha Street in 1950 with the aim to serve goodies

made fresh with love and local ingredients. In 1961, the couple moved their budding enterprise to 515 North Kuakini Street—known as the original Liliha Bakery—and expanded to include a coffeeshop. The couple’s son Fred took over after Roy died in 1985. When the younger Takakuwa retired in 2008, he entrusted his family’s legacy to local restaurateur Peter Kim, who was well known for bringing the Yummy Korean BBQ chain to O‘ahu two decades prior. In Kim’s care, Liliha Bakery didn’t simply pass the test of time by continuing to fill hungry bellies with three meals a day—often made
Serving up comfort food and baked goods made from scratch for more than seven decades, Liliha Bakery is proof that good taste time travels well. スイートスポット リリハベーカリーは、70年以上にわたってローカルに愛され るコンフォートフードと店内で焼きたてのパンや焼き菓子を 提供しています。
the same way the Takakuwas did it—the brand managed to grow even in the unlikeliest of times.
Starting in 2014, Liliha Bakery began an expansion plan, opening a second location on Nimitz Highway, a third at Ala Moana Shopping Center, and in November of 2021, a fourth location in Waikīkī’s International Market Place.
Much to the delight of visitors who’ve heard whispers of the legendary eatery, the newest iteration boldly delivered the inimitable taste of Liliha Bakery to O‘ahu’s tourism hub at a time when many businesses were shrinking or shuttering due to COVID-19. Situated among the International Market Place’s third-
floor Grand Lānai restaurants, the 9,000-square-feet bakery and diner offers outdoor seating and all the local favorites—loco moco, oxtail soup, saimin, fried chicken—plus fancier options such as carved prime rib and lobster tail, and New York steak with shrimp.
Sixty-four-year-old Liliha Bakery lover James Recolan remembers heading to the original Liliha Bakery at 8 years old every Sunday morning after church with a hungry belly.
“We always sat up at the counter—that’s where everyone knew each other,” he says.
“The smell of Spam and bacon permeated the air, but my favorite was the long john—I swear they were a foot long!”
For the Liliha Bakery virgins out there, the iconic restaurant promises a one-way ticket to Tasty Town, no matter which location you visit. If you want to experience the authentic flavor of Hawai‘i, enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal served with old-fashioned diner charm, and then head to the bakery case for something sweet.
Feasting your eyes upon Liliha Bakery’s 150-plus choices—from hot cross buns to guava passion chiffon cake and “foot-long” longjohns—is sure to enchant your peckish inner child.

Mama’s Day Out
A mother-daughter date with photographer and influencer Jessica Pine as she shows us her favorite places in and around International Market Place.
Jessica Pine is a true multihyphenate. As a photographer, model, influencer, branding consultant, and social media manager, Pine’s repertoire spans a whole host of creative fields. While juggling so many personas can seem daunting to some, for Pine, the artistry necessary for her work provides an enriching outlet through which she can be her most authentic self. The pivot to a career more rooted in creativity happened seven years ago, when a hobby of photographing friends and family with her dad’s old camera evolved into a full-time job. With the arrival of her daughter Lyla two years ago, though, Pine knew that balancing her passions with her burgeoning family meant that she needed to be more intentional with her time.
“Not everything is always as it seems on Instagram,” Pine says. “So many of my friends will tell me, ‘I loved your video of your day in the life.’ But that’s usually just one cute, aesthetically pleasing day out of the week. And the rest is being a mom.”
Though many creatives struggle with finding the right balance between their work and personal lives, Pine is able to effortlessly marry the two. Her daughter Lyla features prominently throughout her Instagram, acting as both a muse
and a reminder that life as a creative shouldn’t solely revolve around one’s career.
“Sometimes you can’t do all of the things that you want to do, when you want to do it. And that’s okay,” she says. “That’s something I’m definitely still learning.”
In this issue, we spend an afternoon with Pine and Lyla as they
EUNICA ESCALANTE | JOHN HOOK
have a mother and daughter date in Waikīkī. From her go-to store to her daughter’s playdate spot, Pine shares her favorite haunts in and around International Market Place.
It’s just an all-in-one for me. I love their homegoods and self-care section. And, obviously, they’re clothes, too. They always have great dresses and pants. I once got these high-waisted pair of green corduroy pants, and wore them everywhere when I went on a trip. And they also have really good sales a couple of times a year.
LILIHA BAKERY
FOR A MID-DAY SNACK
Liliha Bakery is just classic from growing up here. I went to Kamehameha Schools, which was close to the original Liliha Bakery location. So, my parents and I would always get their coco puffs on the way home. And my daughter Lyla and I share the same palette—we’re both suckers for sweets.
QUEEN ’ S COURTYARD
FOR AN AFTERNOON PLAYDATE
Lyla always likes to be running and walking around. When we’re in Waikīkī, it’s kind of hard to do that since there aren’t that many kid-friendly green spaces here. The Queens Courtyard at International Market Place is such a great spot for her to let it all out.
SUNSET AT WAIKĪKĪ BEACH
FOR HER GO-TO PHOTO SPOT
I’ll usually end up in Waikīkī at least once or twice a week. It just has that classic Hawai‘i beach look that a lot of clients want. I think my biggest challenge as a photographer is working to make it look a little different, putting a twist on it so that it can still be fresh and modern.

What is the community organization you selected as the recipient of the $1,000 donation? The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Hawai‘i
Can you tell us why you selected this organization?
It is important to support our friends and family who are suffering from mental illness. More awareness and support might take away the negative image of talking about mental illness. I love that NAMI supports family members and friends to come together to talk about how we can support each other through difficult times. No one should suffer alone.
JOHN HOOK
Name: Colby Lane
Store Affiliation: Flip Flop Shop
How long have you worked at International Market Place? 3 years
Which town do you currently live in and how long have you lived there? I’ve lived in Honolulu my whole life, so for 20 years.
What is your favorite thing about working at International Market Place?
I love the camaraderie between workplaces and how we all support each other’s businesses and make each other feel like family. I also love my coworkers and how they play a huge role in creating a fun, safe, and enjoyable work
environment. We are a community built upon an inclusive culture, hard work ethic, and lifelong friendships. I see them more than just coworkers; I see them as my friends and family.

My favorite things to do are to just stay active by either surfing, playing beach volleyball, running, doing yoga, and so much more. I also really enjoy digital and film photography on my free time.
What's your favorite part of living on O‘ahu?
My favorite part about O‘ahu is the people. The culture is almost one-of-a-kind and everyone cares for each other even if we may not know them because it is our kuleana (responsibility) to make sure we all are contributing to creating a collective community.
What's your favorite thing to do in Waikīkī?
My absolute favorite thing to do in Waikīkī is play beach volleyball at Queens because we have such a big and thriving volleyball community there.

And I am a very competitive person when it comes to sports and competitions like volleyball, basketball, and spikeball.
What is the community organization you selected as the recipient of the $1,000 donation? Women’s Fund of Hawai‘i
Can you tell us why you selected this organization?
I selected the Women’s Fund of Hawai‘i because this organization focuses on the empowerment of girls and women, who I believe to be the strongest force in this world. There are still people in the world who belittle girls and women, and there are not enough programs that offer help to those women in need. There also remains a large portion of females in financial hardships as well as lifelong struggles. I intend to aid in whatever way I can to create a safe space for women to grow and thrive so that they become capable of instilling change in their own ways for the future.
