THE PLACE: 33 WEST KINZIE
|
Long before 33 W. Kinzie housed one of Chicago’s most famous steakhouses, it was home to the notorious enforcer of the Al Capone gang, Frank Nitti. He lived in an apartment on the fourth floor with his wife Annette. They operated a legitimate Italian food business, Caravetta Foods, out of the building. But it was also a convenient hideout for Nitti as the courthouse building was clearly visible from the apartment. The building connected to Chicago's underground tunnel system allowing Nitti and his associates to come and go without being seen on the streets.
Nitti's Supper Club and Speakeasy incorporates real characters from Nitti's life of crime who would have walked through the doors of 33 West Kinzie. Join them on a trip back in time to the raucous world of gangland Chicago. |

You're also invited to join us in Harry's Bar before or after the show. While you're there, make sure to check out NITTI'S VAULT located beneath the Bar. View the secret room, the possessions discovered within it, along with photographs, newspaper articles and legal documents from Nitti’s life. One of the most exciting finds was a large safe with three layers of security buried in the basement walls. Also found was Nitti’s personal address book, listing the home addresses and phone numbers of powerful government officials and mobsters. Nitti's Vault has been named #1 on Thrillist's list of Hidden Urban Treasures You Need to Find.
