Oh, where did the summer go? Hapa Kitchen has been busy making “hapa tapas” for a couple private rooftop and beachside parties. But we’re back in Brooklyn, and teaming up with our friends Finger on the Pulse and Mean Red Productions again for a Hawaiian-inspired menu and pig roast at The Yard!
We can think of nothing more hapa-licious than this; the term “hapa” after all originates from Hawaii, and though we’re not all Hawaiian, we’d certainly like to be beach bums sipping from coconuts on the colorful islands about now. Thank goodness there’s always the Gowanus!

Menu is still shaping up, but we’ll be bringing it back to the homeland with Hawaiian favorites like macaroni salad but with a local and seasonal twist. There will be succulent pastured swine from Tamarack Hollow Farm that we’ll roast in a traditional Chinese-Cuban (“La Caja China“) box, sides with organic vegetables provided by Long Island’s Garden of Eve Farm, and Brooklyn’s own Sixpoint Craft Ales will be pouring their latest brews. Specialty cocktails with umbrellas, you bet.

A more detailed menu will be coming up in the next week, but in the meantime here’s the info:
