It’s way too late now to get a ticket to the Hawaii Inaugural Ball, but if you’re looking to find some of the island spirit while you’re in D.C. today, National Geographic Traveler has the lowdown on Where the Hawaiians Hang Out. You might still be able to get in to the luau at the Hotel Monaco, just two blocks from the inauguration. Attire? “Aloha Formal,” of course.
