How Your Team Wins at Waikiki Beach Walk

September 13, 2024

It was Helen Keller who wisely remarked, "Alone we can do so little, and together we can do so much."
 
It’s a safe bet she wasn’t talking about a vacation in Hawaii, but when you think about it, a little teamwork can make an already special time extraordinary.
 
Here’s how Waikiki Beach Walk can make your time in Hawaii truly exceptional.


FIRST UP: THE OBVIOUS

We’ll just state it right up front: at Breakout Waikiki, if you don’t have teamwork, you’ll lose.
 
We’ll also let you know that even if you do lose, you’ll have an incredible amount of fun going down to the heart-pounding wire.
 
When you consider that Breakout Waikiki is Honolulu’s #1 rated escape room, and you can select from six fascinating escape room scenarios ranging from the extremely difficult to the just plain hard, you can see what an incredible thrill it is when you win.
 
Win or lose, you’ll have a blast.
 

FORWARD MARCH

French emperor Napoleon was known for many things. Short stature and large conquests being the two most notable, and of those two, his military victories are the most renowned.
 
So take it from this expert on force mobilization when he famously asserted, “An army moves on its stomach.”
 
Translation: Keep the troops well fed.
 
And when you are working with a tight schedule of activities and destinations, your best strategy is packing an array of delicious provisions from Musubi Cafe Iyasume, Waikiki’s best source for musubi, onigiri, oden and bento.
 
A tradition for working folks in Hawaii since the influx of Japanese labor for the plantations over a 100 years ago, freshly, handmade onigiri, musubi, oden and bento are the perfect fuel for a fast paced day of fun: extremely portable and easy to eat on the run.
 
And at Musubi Cafe Iyasume, you’ll have a tantalizing selection of proteins, including shrimp, chicken, salmon, tuna, and of course, another tradition in Hawaii from the American GIs stationed here in WWII, SPAM.®
 
All of which, we will point out, are just as nourishing while lounging on a beach as they are when hustling out to Pearl Harbor tour. 


THE CHEERING SECTION

Of course, the next best thing to cheering on your own team is to root for your favorite team other than your own. And the best place to do that is Giovanni Pastrami Pizzeria and Sports Bar.
 
With over 15 huge big screen televisions tuned into pretty much every game that is going on at any given time, Giovanni Pastrami is certain to be showing your favorite team. Just one reason why it’s Waikiki’s best sports bar.
 
Another reason is its huge menu of delicious All-American fare of full entrees and sandwiches (be on the lookout for their signature pastrami sandwich), all of which makes fandom super fun ...even if you are not a sports nut (call it a ‘fundom’ then).
 
But that’s not all. We’ll go out on a limb and proclaim pizza as the best gastronomical reward for any team, and go one step further by certifying Giovanni Pastrami’s famous Round Table pizza as the best pizza in Waikiki.


DRESS THE PART

Of course, the most crucial part of any team -other than teamwork- is the uniform. Good thing Reyn Spooner has licensed permission from not only Major League Baseball, but the NFL and NCAA to feature team logos on their special fan line of shirts!
 
This means you can proudly flaunt your favorite team’s logo as part of a classic, Reyn’s paradise-inspired designs to elevate your game-day hoopla. All authentic, and available in super comfortable 100% cotton, sturdy Reyn’s Performance Fabric, or patented Spooner Kloth™ and in several styles, like button-downs and polos.
 
Amazing to think that Reyn’s, already known for The World’s most collected Aloha Shirts,™ has made them even more collectible.
 
But that’s their game.
