La Mariana Sailing Club - "If you're over 50, and too good for karaoke, this is where you end up." Blind piano player Ron Miyashiro played at the legendary Tahitian Lanai and has a vast repertoire. Like a magnet, he attracts singing talent that's amateur only in the sense that it's unpaid. It's almost unnerving the first time someone solos, and from the tables all around the room rise perfectly layered harmonies and soprano glissandos. La Mariana is so old-fashioned it's cool again. 50 Sand Island Access Rd., 848-2800 - call for reservations 'cause the place is packed every Thursday. http://greateatshawaii.blogspot.com/2013/06/la-mariana-sailing-club.html
