Siena Tavern co-owner Fabio Viviani lived in the area for less than six years before he scored one of Chicago's greatest honors -- having a day named for him. He joked that it also didn't take long for that recognition to go to his head.

"I was like, 'Hello, what are we waiting for?,'" Viviani told the Tribune in a recent chat at Siena Tavern in River North. "No, no. It was a big honor for me, although I thought, you know, school closed, bank closed, we shoot fireworks. Then I thought, you know what? It's not Fourth of July. It's just Fabio's day, so everybody go to school, banks are still open. There is no fireworks, but it's still a big, big, happy day for me."
