Hilo Farmers Market

[Howard]

The Makuu market is also a great place for lunch on Sunday; in addition to the produce stands there is a truck selling steak plates and a stand doing barbecue. If you don't like meat, there are other places doing Thai and Indian vegetarian dishes, and one making crepes. There is limited seating right near the stage, where someone is usually performing. Don't forget Nena's for dessert; her chocolate cake is terrific, and others have raved about her coconut cake too. (Her daughter makes a spicy tortilla soup which she sells at her mother's bakery stand.)

We used to go there almost every Sunday, eat lunch, and bring home dinner.
