Crain's claims that Formento's offers a modern take on old school Italian...and I'd have to agree. The front bar and the dining room in the back of the restaurant make you feel like you're stepping back in time, but the vibe is young and hip. You can tell this place buzzes with energy on a [...]
80 Proof Tour
Event Space, Restaurant/Bar
This three level restaurant and bar is the coolest thing in the world, especially if you're into analogue music gear. The decor is like if a speakeasy smashed into a 1970's recording studio. I really enjoyed shooting photos in this place. You should go & enjoy eating, drinking and being merry in this place. [...]

Avec Tour

"Walk" to the back of the restaurant's tour and take a look at the fabulous wine bottle wall, it's absolutely [...]

Brownstone Tour
Restaurant/Bar
I used to live right around the corner from Brownstone and it was a great corner bar in the North Center neighborhood. Casual, nice outdoor patio, good food & drinks. If you live around there, be sure to stop in sometime; if you don't live there, you should swing by the next time you're in [...]
