Hot in Honolulu: Tropics Cafe

The VIPs

Owner Pat Kashani (on the left in the black shirt) says he's proud that "Tropics has become Honolulu's mecca for live local music."

"We pride ourselves in the fact that it's a place where musicians and music lovers alike hang out and eat good, drink good, and listen to some good tunes," he said.

Here he is with friends Ikena Dupont and Linah, and local record producer and former 98.5 DJ Big Teez.
