Takeout 25 – Taste the Town is BACK AND IN PERSON at Fitzgerald’s! As you’ve come to expect, we’ve got amazing food from local restaurants.

There is something at Taste the Town for everyone. But equally importantly, supporting a unique event this strengthens the community as a whole. Let’s come together to help our community heal and recover from the pandemic, and let’s put our community on the map as a Chicagoland hot spot!
