Celebrating in Little Italy
Where Little Italy hosts use heating & cooling
Arrigo Park and the small Piazza DiMaggio plaza give the neighborhood public space where community events happen, and the area's courtyards and brick two-flats hold plenty of private parties. Space is the limiting factor: lots are narrow, and many gatherings are small and elegant, so the right chair and the right table count matter more than sheer volume. A restaurant private room or a townhome roof deck may hold only twenty or thirty guests, so the right number of chairs and a tidy layout count more than volume.
Restaurant private rooms
Taylor Street restaurants host rehearsal dinners and showers; check whether outside rentals are allowed.
Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
Courtyards and rooftop decks
Townhome and condo outdoor space suits small, stylish gatherings with limited load-in room.
Heating & cooling here: Rooftops get windy and cold quickly after sunset. Heaters rated for wind, with weighted bases, are a must.
Campus and graduation events
UIC area families host graduation parties in nearby homes and halls each spring.
Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
Arrigo Park and Piazza DiMaggio
Public spaces for community events; Arrigo Park permits go through the Chicago Park District.
Heating & cooling here: Many parks restrict open-flame and propane heaters, so ask the park district before you rely on them.
