The writers, photographers and editors that produced Metromix Honolulu have collaborated to launch Nonstop Honolulu, a locally owned and produced site that covers eating, nightlife and events on Oahu.
Our plan is to stay on top of the most-buzzed-about eateries, parties and events on the island, and to provide comprehensive coverage with photo galleries, video, blogs and venue listings. We’ll have new content every day, including food galleries, party pics and extensive event listings. Our goal is to be Honolulu’s primary source for event information, including everything from concerts to parties to food events and tweetups. Whatever cool is happening in town, we’ll be on top of it.

Mari Taketa
Mari Taketa is a dedicated eater who’s as opinionated as she is hungry. She covered everything from neighborhood mom-and-pop places to ethnic eateries to fine dining restaurants on Honolulu’s dining scene for Metromix Honolulu and The Honolulu Advertiser’s TGIF. Before that, she ate her way through Vietnam, Scotland and Japan, where she lived, traveled or worked, after recovering from a journalism career that included stints as editor-in-chief of Hawaii Business magazine and reporter and editor at The Associated Press. Her goals are to always be hungry for more, and to always want to know what’s around the next corner.
