    Carousel Bar

    What’s the gimmick at this smart-looking bar inside the historic Monteleone hotel? It spins. There are no bobbing seats or toot-toot orchestra, but there is a canopy top hat from the 1904 World’s Fair carousel with running lights, hand-painted figures and gilded mirrors. It takes 15 minutes for the bar to complete a revolution. If it’s spinning too fast, ease up on the sauce, pal. Careful on your way out.
