Last week, Logo (LGBTQ cable network) announced Portland as “Sexiest Spot” for its third annual New Now Next travel awards. The panel of global travel experts determines the best up and coming destinations and hotels. Added this year, were writers from Lonely Planet, New York Magazine, Travel & Leisure, NY Dailey News and Town and Country Travel. There were two new categories of the awards also added this year; “Favorite Travel TV Show” and “New Now Next Destination”. Our unique city won the newest category.
“This boho-sexy hipster/foodie mecca doesn’t just feed your tummy. It hits below the belt, too!…I love me some flannelled lumberjacks. And all that wood! Seriously though, it may not seem terribly “sexy” on the surface, but this northwest nirvana does something for me.” Quoted travel editor Darren Frei.
This might not surprise us slutty denizens of a city so grey and wet you need a someone to warm your bed, as OkCupid named Portland the most promiscuous city this past August. So I guess you can ad “sex” to the list of quirky tourist traps in P-Town alongside bikes, dykes, nature, brunch and weird donuts.
You can follow the latest news for the NewNowNext Awards on Twitter and Facebook. The list of all the winners is available on the website.
