Hawaii Entertainment Book 2007 Review

The new Entertainment Book for 2007 is out and I was able to get an advance copy from Tabasco Man(Thanks!)

There are less fine dining restaurants from last year's book. Last year there were 59 such restaurants, this year there are 46. At first I thought the book wasn't as good as last year's but there are alot of new coupons for good restaurants. I think alot of the coupons they removed weren't all that great anyways.

Here are my notables. All of them are Buy one get one free unless it has a % off
