Cocktails & Dreams: The Charlie Chan in Waikiki

Today I'm dreaming of a hot summer night, scent of orchids, feeling my husband's hand in mine... Listening to Hawaiian music under the century-old Kiawe tree in the Halekuni's House Without A Key outdoor restaurant in Waikiki, Hawaii, and enjoying one of their new cocktails this summer. The House without a Key is Halekulani's popular indoor/outdoor gathering spot immortalized in a 1925 Charlie Chan novel,and it's one of the favored traditions of the original Halekulani.
