If you want to spot Hawai'i model-actress-surfer Sonya Balmores, you're likely to run into her at Bogart's Cafe, her favorite local breakfast hangout. Balmores, who was first runner-up in the 2004 Miss Teen USA pageant and has appeared on such magazine covers as "Outside" and "Women's Health," typically starts her morning with a breakfast bagel, then heads next door to Diamond Head Cove Health Bar for the acai power bowl. Visit Metromix at www.honolulu.metromix.com for Balmores' VIP Picks — to find out where else this busy local celeb likes to eat in Honolulu.
