About

Welcome to The Pulse.

HonoluluPulse.com, an online entertainment site powered by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, has been designed to bring you the freshest news from the local scene in an eye-pleasing format. Check here first for photo galleries, a comprehensive calendar, concert announcements, event previews and reviews, a dining guide and restaurant news, and blogs on nightlife, fashion, food, pop culture and more.
