MÄnoa is a valley and a residential neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii, USA approximately three miles east and inland from downtown Honolulu and less than a mile from Ala Moana and WaikÄ«kÄ« at . Like many of Hawaii's neighborhoods, MÄnoa consists of an entire valley, running from MÄnoa Falls at the mauka end to King Street at its makai-most extreme. The valley receives almost daily rain, even during the dry season, and is thus richly vegetated &mdash though the valley walls are often dry.
