Punahou Carnival is today and tomorrow, people, THE most buzzed-about carnival of the year, and for those non-veterans who haven’t mapped out their food priorities, we’ve got you covered. Just scroll down to the photo gallery below for best eats and tips.
But first, the deets:
When: Friday & Saturday, Feb. 3 & 4, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Where: Punahou School, 1601 Punahou St.
Admission: Free
Parking: Available in nearby lots for a fee
Special note: Scrip this year are worth 50 cents each, a departure from past years when they were worth 25 cents. The move is to cut down on paper and amount of scrip handled throughout the carnival. Some prices have gone up a touch; others have dropped a touch. But don’t worry: Malasadas are still 50 cents (1 scrip) apiece.

Tip 1: Go early, when the carnival opens. You may actually score street parking, and there are practically no lines at the two malasadas tents, especially if you're buying small amounts. Remember, we're talking 11 a.m. This may also be your only chance to snag some of that famed mango chutney.
