BDV, no to the market but we did go to the flea market at Aloha Stadium. It wraps all the way around and has a lot of fresh food stands. Also, prices are a lot cheaper than the Int'l Market for random tourist stuff and souvenirs. Although we drove, there's a shuttle that goes there from Waikiki.

As for Side Street, we usually get the fried rice w/ Portugese sausage, ribeye w/ mushrooms and Maui onions, steamed clams, spicy, boneless fried chicken, calamari and escargot. We always over order, over eat and have left overs for the next day (which is perfect if you go to Hanauma Bay, lol). The drinks are pretty strong so no need for me to order doubles.

Yeah, a lot of people don't like Maui cause it's "boring" and "everything is dead at night". I go to Waikiki to eat, shop, take in some sites and maybe hang out on the beach a few times. Maui is just super chill. We'd get up fairly early, eat, chill at the beach, maybe go snorkeling, hiking, go on a cool, scenic drive and just relax. There's also quite a few beautiful golf courses all over the island. I actually had a bit of a hard time slowing down to that pace the first time I went, til I allowed myself to chill out and put my phone (watch) and schedule away. Hell, even the speed limit is slow there, given the great condition of the highways.
