在新加坡牛車水的南部邊緣,恭錫路(Keong Saik Road)發(fā)生了很多變化。它從20世紀(jì)初的一個(gè)居民區(qū),逐漸變成了60年代著名的紅燈區(qū),很多三層的裝飾派藝術(shù)風(fēng)格的街屋兼作妓院。近來,這條路成了該市最時(shí)尚的地方之一,在水車路(Kreta Ayer Road)和尼路(Neil Road)之間的這一段尤其繁榮,時(shí)髦的酒吧、商店、酒店和餐廳林立。但昔日的痕跡還在,包括幾家只能借助門前的大紅色門牌號(hào)碼才能辨認(rèn)出來的低調(diào)妓院。
Neon Pigeon

Now two years old, this industrial-chic space with irreverent touches — exposed pipes, marbled concrete floors, giant murals of pigeons, one with Mike Tyson — is perpetually packed and serves contemporary izakaya-style (think tapas) dishes.
這里已開業(yè)兩年,走工業(yè)時(shí)尚的路線,風(fēng)格粗獷:裸露在外的管道、有大理石花紋的混凝土地面、巨幅鴿子壁畫,其中一幅上面是邁克·泰森(Mike Tyson)。小店供應(yīng)居酒屋風(fēng)格(想想塔帕斯)的美食,永遠(yuǎn)人滿為患。

Hotel 1929

Uniting five well-preserved shop-houses built in 1929 — hence the name — this stylish property with 32 individually decorated rooms mixes contemporary technology (smartphones with free data and free international calls to a number of countries) with vintage furnishings including Eames and Arne Jacobsen chairs, and old barber seats for a bit of whimsy. The two Terrace Suites have decks with outdoor bathtubs.
