Portland Escorts: Five Places: What’s old is new again
by escortingportlandThis old firehouse that dates back to 1910 has been converted into a sophisticated restaurant in downtown Monterey. Owners kept the red-brick exterior but transformed the inside into a cozy spot that offers dishes like lobster mac n’ cheese and baby artichoke risotto. And no, there isn’t a fireman’s pole in the middle of the dining room. 414 Calle Principal, Monterey. (831) 648-8880, www.montrio. com. Open for dinner daily. Reservations a must.
3. Bordello Bar, Los Angeles
This bar, formerly the longest-operating brothel in L.A., may not offer the same, um, services as it once did, but still pays homage to its past by tantalizing customers with a sexy, lively atmosphere. Waitresses serve drinks in lingerie, dancing girls entertain at burlesque shows and the decor is what can only be described as Moulin Rouge meets vampire-chic (dark red mood lighting, black chandeliers, gold accents and overstuffed Victorian-style furniture). 901 East 1st St., Los Angeles. (213) 687-3766, www.bordellobar.com.
