Traveling with the Grossmans ...: Vintage Wine Bar

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!

Vintage Wine Bar

Well, with the struggling U.S. economy and staggering gas prices we're laying low this summer opting for entertainment stateside and in our city. Thankfully, Chicago offers a lot of fun, especially during the summer. I'll work on compiling a list of worthwhile places to visit in the Second City. Until then, here is a tip: if you find yourself with some free time and a (somewhat) hungry stomach, drop in Vintage Wine Bar at 1942 division street, chicago, illinois, 773.772.3400. They have a live jazz night on Thursdays (our friend Allen worked the drums there last week) and awesome finger food (try the thin crust goat cheese and artichoke pizza, it is sensational!) and the wine is not to shabby either. Have fun!
