April Mahalo Mondays benefit Boys and Girls Club<\/p><\/div>\n

If you go out for dinner or drinks at the downtown Santa Cruz restaurant Hula\u2019s on Monday nights in April, part of your meal will benefit the Boys and Girls Club.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the month of April, Hula\u2019s Island Grill & Tiki Room<\/a> \u2013 a wonderful place to eat and drink with selections to accommodate many different tastes \u2013 is donating 10% of all Monday night sales to the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Cruz County.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This promotion is part of the restaurant’s Mahalo Mondays<\/em> community giving program; on selected months throughout the year, a different non-profit organization receives 10% of Monday evening sales. Between 2008 and 2016, Hula\u2019s donated more than $143,000 to 56 local nonprofit organizations via Mahalo Mondays proceeds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been to Hula\u2019s lately, there\u2019s a great lanai in front providing outdoor seating; it opened in May 2016. The restaurant\u2019s menu features Hawaiian fusion dishes and other choices. Lunch highlights include delicious burgers with beef and veggie options that come with choice of sweet potato fries (warning: addictive), regular fries, slaw or arugula or Caesar salad; rice bowls with black beans, cabbage mix, and choice of \u201cjungle\u201d tofu, wasabi ahi or spicy Thai chicken; and a variety of tacos. At dinnertime, all of these dishes are still available, and there are many more such as Hawaiian fish soup, slow-roasted pork plate, and fresh fish. For seafood, you can choose between six types of fish and select one of six preparation types to match it with. For example, pick lemongrass-encrusted halibut with lime-ginger-cream sauce or pan-fried ono with shiitakes. Hula\u2019s also offers a tiki bar that features 40 different rums, tropical drink specialties and more.<\/p>\n
