Yikes! It's 2010 already! Things have been busy here on Maui. I am now running this business and working as a Lead Therapist at the Spa at Black Rock on the weekends. So rest assured when you book a massage from me here at Na Alii, you are getting a five star experience!
Food. Let's talk about food. It's a big part of your vacation, right? Well my current favorite is the Seafood Cobb Salad served at Ferraro's in the Four Seasons Wailea during lunch time. It is soooo good and full of lobster, crab and shrimp. A must try.
Gannons Sea View - Just recently remodeled this is the old Seawatch location at the Wailea Gold course. Bev Gannon has done it again. There is also a lounge called Red Bar. Food is good, but I am waiting for them to iron out the kinks before I go back. You may want to give them a try, however, you can't beat the view. For the price, however, I'm going to Ferraros at the Four Seasons and be waited on hand and foot!
808 Bistro - New restaurant in the old Greek Bistro location on S. Kihei Road behind Fred's. I've heard it's delicious and can't wait to give it a try.
Cane & Taro - New restaurant by the owner of Sansei. Killer menu and excellent location it is sure to please even the pickiest eater. Located at the Whaler Shops on Kaanapali Beach directly adjacent to Hula's. Nico and I loved our lunch there and can't wait to go back. Guests at the Spa at Black Rock are raving about it.
Casanova's Bistro - New restaurant in the old Manana Garage location in Kahului. Had a late night New Year's Day meal here because it was the only thing open and boy was I pleasantly surprised! YUM! We loved it. Can't wait to go back again.
Whole Foods opens in Kahului Maui Mall on February 24th at 9 am. Finally!
Cheers! - Laura |

WOW! maui is as hot and humid as it gets right now......It's almost too unbearable to do massage! We survived the so-called Hurricane, nothing but some rain and wind for one morning.....however, the weather has now turned hot and muggy reminding me of August in New York City!
Just wanted to pop in here and say I have started the second book in the Steig Larson trilogy, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and it is most likely going to be better than the first one! Get into Costco now and get your copy....
I'm looking forward to a delicious Shabbos meal tonite, Nico is making his amazing Challah bread and matzo ball soup.....one of the best things about being Jewish is the food!
Have a wonderful weekend and if you are here on Maui, get in the ocean to beat the heat....that's where I'm headed now....

LOOKING FOR A GOOD MASSAGE IN NYC.......Nico and I will be taking our Annual mainland vacation on August 24th. We are both working for Another Planet Entertainment in San Francisco at Outside Lands Music Festival. We will be overseeing the backstage environment for the artists performing at the show. This is what I used to do for years at Bill Graham Presents. I tell people I'm going to "guest-star" in my old life.....after a giant week of work we fly to NYC for 8 glorious days of big city fun. I am looking for some good massage in Manhattan....if you are reading this and live in the NYC area, please email me with your suggestions.
GREAT FOOD IN KIHEI - We have a new cafe in Kihei called Coconuts Fish Cafe. The owner has taken a cue from Paia Fish Market and created a ono-licious fish burger. The fish tacos are also amazing. Coconuts is located in the Azeka Plaza near Stella Blues and The Coffee Store. 1274 S. Kihei Road #304
Cuatro is a new restaurant by the owner of Sansei and the Executive Chef of Sansei. It features "asian meets latin" cuisine and is very delicious. Their signature dish is the Ahi Nachos, the nacho part being asian wonton crisps. I especially love the Southwestern Chicken and the spicy crab cakes. If you are seated before 6 pm, it's 25% off. Cuatro is located next to Sansei in the Foodland plaza.....
Da Kitchen is an old standby for local kine food, but I just have to mention the Korean Chicken. Crispy bits of chicken with a special asian sweet sauce.....yum! I love it.
Cafe O'Lei serves the best meal deal in town for lunch. $8.99 gets you the mahi mahi of the day, ceaser salad and rice. Cannot be beat! Both Da Kitchen and Cafe O'Lei are in the Rainbow Plaza on South Kihei Road at the Wailea end......while you are in Rainbow Mall, don't forget to try the World Famous Kona Bean shake at the coffee shack located in the corner of the parking lot....
For more restaurant ideas and cheap and cheerful food tips, feel free to give me a call. While you book your massage, we can talk about FOOD!
A Hui Hou!

If you are headed to Maui, pick up this amazing book....The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson. It is an international bestseller and I just finished reading it. Amazing. A crime drama set in Sweden, this one will keep you on the edge of your beach chair. You won't be able to put it down. They have it at Costco right now for $8. This book was written as part of a trilogy and the second one is also now at Costco. Check it out! When you book a massage, let me know how you liked it.....
Aloha!
