A Note from the Grossmans ...

We are a married couple with a diverse background (Agi is from Budapest, Hungary and Richard is from Chicago, Illinois) but a common desire to live our life to the fullest.


We love to travel, eat scrumptious feasts, drink fine wine, and most importantly, we love to meet people. Our family and friends often ask us for travel advise so we have decided to start a blog and share some of our experiences and tips.


We love to discover the hidden gems and "un-touristic" places of the cities we visit. We prefer the tiny boutique to the big shopping center; the local cafe to Starbucks; and the neighborhood trattoria or bistro to the international fast food chain.

We hope that with this website we can give some helpful advise to those who are interested in living life passionately ... so come on and travel with the Grossmans!

My favorite sushi restaurant: Jai-Yen

I could eat at this sushi restaurant every night. It is that good. The fish is fresh and the dishes are inventive. My definite favorite sushi roll is the "Tropical Maki" (Tuna, yellowtail, scallion, cilantro, jalapeño, cucumber, avocado topped with tempura crunch and spicy mayo) which, in my opinion, offers a perfect combination of different textures and flavors. It is absolutely awesome and I seriously crave it even now. Jai-Yen also offers pan Asian dishes with Japanese cuisine as their specialty. It is also a BYOB which is a plus. 3736 N. Broadway, Chicago, IL. 773.404.0555
