Hāloa: Story of the first Hawaiian
In this story, Papa and Wakea (Earth Mother and Sky Father, respectively) have a daughter called Hoʻohōkūkalani. Hoʻohōkūkalani eventually gives birth to a boy, who is stillborn, and bears resemblance to a root. The family mourns, and the baby is wrapped in kapa (bark cloth from the paper mulberry tree), and placed in a lauhala basket before being buried in the earth. Hoʻohōkūkalani's tears water the grave, and the first kalo (taro) plant emerges, and it is named Hāloanakalaukapalili. Hoʻohōkūkalani again becomes pregnant. This time she gives birth to a healthy baby boy, whom they name Hāloa, after his older brother. Hāloa is considered the first Hawaiian person, and the kalo plant is regarded as a primary source of food.

Downbeat Diner
A great little nook to eat at is Downbeat Diner in Chinatown! It has classic American diner food with vegetarian and vegan options for almost every menu item, so there's something for everyone! There's also the Downbeat Lounge next door where you can listen to some live music 4-5 nights a week! (They also have really great fries, so that's a plus)
