Hoods: River North

Because of it's location and abundance of restaurants and clubs, River North is sort of a Mecca for out of town visitors.

River North is aptly named; it lies north of the Loop, west of famed Michigan Avenue and south of Chicago Avenue, with the Chicago River as its boundary on the south and the west.

River North is home to one of the country’s largest collection of gallerie. You will fid many of these along Franklin Avenue, underneath the train tracks.

River North is filled with all genres of food, including American, Brazilian, Chinese, French, Indian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Spanish, Thai and even Vegetarian.
