Two New Restaurants on Taylor Street: Vintage Lounge and Cafe 1.61

Here's a liquor license application for a place called "Vintage Lounge" at 1447 – 49 W. Taylor Street in Chicago's University Village/ Little Italy neighborhood (didn't Tri-Taylor used to be thing?).

In looking around for info on this place, I really couldn't find any. There are lots of Vintage Lounges around the country (Boston, Houston, Orlando) but a quick take on Vintage Lounge Web sites shows that they're all different (i.e. not a part of a chain or franchise).

The Orlando Vintage Lounge can't seem to make up it's mind if the V stands for Vintage or Vixen.

There's also a new liquor license for a place called Cafe 1.61 at 1251-1259 W Taylor St.

I couldn't find anything about this place either– save for a logo:

If you know anything about either of these joints, by all means, let us know! (In fact, why not post an Announcement over at EveryBlock?).

UPDATE, 8/4/2010:

Here's a better look at the logo for Vintage Lounge. Thanks, Steve!
