Ah, the holidays. It’s that time of year when our lattes get pumpkin spiced and pepperminted, loved ones reconnect, carols are played (and sung) on loop, and all join in the spirit of giving.

This is a good thing, though on Maui, it can be a little overwhelming, given the fact that there are 32 million restaurants here (give or take a few).

Sure it’s home to MauiTime, but it’s the composite of our cooler-than-cool neighbors that make this place so gosh-darned special.
