Celebrating in Lincoln Square
Welles Park anchors the south side of the neighborhood with its fieldhouse, pool and wide lawns, and it's a classic spot for birthday parties and community gatherings. Further north, quiet streets of brick bungalows and two-flats offer deep Chicago-style backyards that are perfect for a backyard wedding or a graduation party. Alley access is common, which helps a lot on delivery day, though gangway carries are still part of life.

If you're hosting around one of those, street closures and crowds change how a truck gets to your block. We ask about your date and address early, and we'll help you time delivery to avoid the busiest stretches of Lincoln Avenue. Just send your date and address and we will take it from there.
