Did this: Yelp Uncaged @ Honolulu Zoo

Yelp Honolulu’s biggest-ever event draws 1,400 eaters, two dozen vendors and lions and tigers and bears, oh my!


By Mari Taketa

OK, I’ll modify: there were no lions or tigers or bears. Instead we saw a Yelpicorn, a flying gorilla, lots of pandas and leopard prints, and dozens of girls wearing animal ears. Yelp’s latest event Thursday night was a benefit for the newly accredited zoo, and with 1,400 Yelpers and two dozen food and drink vendors roaming the grounds, Uncaged @ the Honolulu Zoo marked a new coming of age as Yelp Honolulu’s largest event ever.

I mean, didn't these flamingos used to be pink? Has their food changed color? So if flamingos eat blueberries, will they turn blue?
