Featured Bars/Clubs


California artist Frank Bowers was obviously inspired by the Embers moniker. His seductive oil works of topless Hollywood starlets as she-devils in a fiery underworld are everywhere here (two big pieces smolder behind the bar and individual paintings above each booth). Marilyn Monroe, Kirk Douglas, Natalie Wood, Jayne Mansfield and Rock Hudson are all depicted on the walls in suggestive poses that recall old pulp fiction paperback novel covers. The kitschy/sexy art is the main draw, but the Embers also has everything a dive aficionado could desire: extremely comfortable worn-in leather booths, pool tables for 50 cents and one of those "adults only" souvenir dispensers in the bathroom (four quarters yields tiny booklets filled with sex positions or stickers with dirty jokes).

Possibly the most compelling culinary reason to visit Whittier, the suburb that gave us Richard Nixon, M.F.K. Fisher and conceptual artist Mark Kostabi, Golden Triangle may be the best place in California to taste Burmese food, a phantasmagoria of a cuisine that draws from the cooking of nearby India, China, Thailand and Laos - the country is in a pretty good neighborhood. The restaurant specializes in the garbanzo-flour-thickened catfish chowder called moh hin gha, the biryani-style rice dish called dun buk htaminh, and lap pad thoke, a salad made with pickled tea leaves that have the consistency of stewed collard greens and the caffeine kick of a double espresso, and also in a sour vegetable dish made with a special Burmese green that the owner grows in his backyard. Then there's the incredible ginger salad, biting shreds of the spice tossed with an almost-too-crunchy melange of coconut, fried garlic, fried yellow peas, peanuts and sesame seeds. If the world ever gave it a chance, ginger salad might have the universal appeal of spaghetti Bolognese. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
