Traveling with the Grossmans ...: Powerhouse

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!

Powerhouse

It has indeed been a long time since I wrote a review but here it is, nonetheless. Today, we dined at Powerhouse restaurant at 215 North Clinton Street, Chicago. The restaurant used to house the coal-fired generators and boilers that provided the electricity for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. The ambiance is pleasant (the dining room does resemble a train car without being too crammed) and the service is attentive without being overwhelming. Chef John Peters (ex Naha and Alinea) does a great job with his menu offering wonderful seafood, poultry and meat dishes. The wine menu is satisfactory. It is definitely worth a second visit!
