When we travel, we often ask the locals where to dine. Sure we could follow the guidebooks or check out the restaurants and cafes close to major tourist attractions, but those are likely to be the most expensive in town or, from our past experiences, they rarely serve the best food in town.

Ask your hotel staff, bartender, cab driver, or even consult with folks on social media. I discovered Koko Head Cafe in Oahu, Hawaii from following a bunch of foodies on Twitter and Instagram, like @Melissa808 and @FrolicHawaii.
