Teddy Bear World isn't all that new, but by any account it's a great addition to the Waikiki scene. A moderately-priced family attraction, Teddy Bear World features displays and collections of--- what else--- teddy bears. A substantial kama`aina discount is offered, something we always appreciate. It's on Kalakaua in the `Ewa end of Waikiki.
Hard Rock Cafe recently moved from Kalakaua to a new Beachwalk location. It's a move that took a lot longer than anyone expected, but the new quarters look really attractive.
Quite new on Kuhio Avenue in mid-Waikiki is Zero's NY Pizzeria. It still has a bit of that "under construction" look but we're sure that will soon be cleaned up. We're anxious to see if real New York pizza has indeed come to Waikiki.
We reported on Marukame Udon a couple of weeks back; it still has long waiting lines. Small wonder; it's one of the best values in the district.
And finally, after "coming soon" for what seemed like almost two years, Kuhio Pharmacy has opened its doors at the `Ewa end of Kuhio Avenue.
May's mystery photo features this elegant statue. Can you give its location? Yes, it's in Waikiki, but you'll need to be a little more specific.
April's mystery photo was certainly of the Ala Wai, but we wondered if you could tell us where it was taken. It's at the far Diamond Head end, looking in the `Ewa direction, just makai of the library buildings. That was easy, wasn't it?

Excellent pictures! Waikiki is not a good place to raise young kids (suburbia is better), but I can see why 2 friends of mine love it there. Very interesting place to live if you are an adult.
Gigi: It's actually surprising how many keiki there are growing up in Waikiki. It may indeed not be anything like the best place, but then again, kids grown up in Manahattan, too.
