Latin Flavors, Historic Spaces: A Culinary Experience at the Chicago History Museum!
When you pair vibrant Latin American flavors with one of Chicago’s most iconic cultural institutions, you get more than just a meal—you get a story worth savoring. At Paramount Events, we’re proud to bring restaurant-caliber cuisine to the Chicago History Museum, where history and hospitality unite. Their immersive exhibit, Aqui en Chicago, highlights the efforts and successes of Chicago’s Mexican, Puerto Rican, and broader Latin communities, perfectly complementing a menu inspired by Latin heritage.
Guests can sip on craft cocktails or alcohol-free mocktails, enjoy artfully passed hors d’oeuvres, and explore Aquí en Chicago as part of a fully customized event experience. It’s more than an event—it’s a journey through culture, history, and flavor.
