That made me chuckle because I am on Oahu as we speak. Fortunately, I 
am staying on the North Shore and not in Honolulu (although I have been 
there). We were speaking with a young couple that just got married, 21 
years old about, he is stationed here but they are from Arkansas or 
Mississippi.... The wife looked at me, and stated with a heavy southern 
accent "If you make it to Honolulu, you HAVE GOT to check out this 
place called the Cheesecake Factory, it is my favorite." I just hope 
she could not read my thoughts...I just smiled and tried to say as 
sincerely as possible, "Oh, ok, I will have to check that out."

One of the aspects of living in the NYC metro area that I love is 
finding unique places with history and charm. And one of the things I 
dislike most about other parts of the country (say Ohio, for eg) is the 
mall-if-ication of everything, chain stores, chain restaurants, yuck!
