FOOD HALL REOPENS AT ROYAL HAWAIIAN CENTER

The Royal Hawaiian Center’s Waikiki Food Hall had a short-lived debut, but most of the vendors returned last week.

The food hall opened March 7, but had to shut down after just 13 days due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Five vendors are back: Meataly Boys with grilled Hawaii- grown meats; Five Star Shrimp, known for garlic shrimp; Honolulu Burger Co., featuring free-range, grass-feed beef; Surfer’s Cafe coffee shop and the Tap Bar.

Reopening soon will be the smoothie shop JTRRD Cafe, musubi-maker Potama and Milk, with its whipped soft-serve ice cream.

The food hall is on the third level of Building C, above Cheesecake Factory. Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays to Thursdays; until 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

FOR THE POPCORN LOVER

Here’s a gift idea for the movie lover who isn’t quite ready to go back to the theater — freshly made popcorn for a movie night at home.

Consolidated Theatres’ festive bags of popcorn come in plain, cheddar or sweet flavors. Prices run from $8 to $12 for an 8-ounce bag to $25 for the 5-pound family size, at left, or mix and match three 8-ounce flavors for $30. The popcorn is good for five days.

Pickup is at theaters in Ward Villages, Ka Makana Ali‘i mall in Kapolei, Pearlridge Center and Town Center of Mililani. Pickup days and times vary by theater.

Order at 808ne.ws/moviepopcorn.
