Potentially dumb question about parking hourly limits

I'm moving to Bolton Hill at the end of the month, and this is my first time living somewhere with permitted street parking. I'll be in area 3, which allows two-hour parking without a permit.

My question is... if I have people over who'd like to stay for more than two hours, what do they do with their cars? Should they try to find another spot, stay put and hope they don't get towed, or are all my hangouts on a two-hour limit now?

Also, if anyone has any tips for living in Bolton Hill or hidden gems I'd love to hear them. Thanks!!
