...restaurants, with guys and gals in their hundreds wandering from one rowdy place to another, often arm in arm (although kissing in public seems to still be taboo, even in gay venues). Gay life is not confined to a pink ghetto, though. There's a lively disco at Centro, opposite the venerable Fullerton hotel, that stages a gay event on Sunday nights just a short walk from the High Court. On the same night, the nearby Embassy Club, part of the new Esplanade concert hall complex, hosts another...

We realized that if the date at Centro didn’t fare too well, there would always be a sea of singles at the Good Life next door (or a House formal in a courtyard) from which to choose. But the excellent Italian cuisine and the hefty price-tag of $50 per person make Centro a restaurant better saved for that special someone...
