River North

Chicago | Near North Side (Downtown)

Overview 

This retail- and culture-packed neighborhood plays host to a strong concentration of art galleries, trendy nightclubs and restaurants, and is home to the world’s largest commercial office building, the Merchandise Mart. The Merchandise Mart is a present-day example of how architecture and industry combined to consolidate the warehouses spread across the city. A former industrial area thanks to the all-important railroad tracks that pass through here. River North is now booming with living spaces, offices and hotels. Once-deserted buildings and deteriorating factories have been renovated and transformed into new galleries, studios, offices and apartments. The area now has the highest concentration of restaurants and entertainment venues in Chicago, and houses the highest concentration of art galleries per available space as any place in the country outside of New York City.

Shopping

Peruse the fine art at the galleries here, or visit the art supply shops spinkled about and make your own. Besides the mostly design-themed scene at the Merchandise Mart, one can find a wealth of furniture, decor and antique options throughout the neighborhood. You'll also find small, unique clothing shops here.

Dining/Nightlife

The restaurant scene in River North is jam packed and highly diverse, from Italian to some of the city's oldest steakhouses to modernistic contemporary Japanese restaurants. Nightlife options also run the gamut from non-pretentious bars and live music venues to velvet rope nightclubs where it helps to be a VIP--or flash some serious coin.

Culture & Attractions

Unique entities here include Marina City, the complex dominated by the two "corn cob"-looking towers located at State Street and the Chicago River. The House of Blues resides here. Blocks away, The Original Rock 'N' Roll McDonalds offers entertainment of a different sort.

The Low Down

River North is a bustling neighborhood, day and night. Early on, tourists and office workers mingle as they step to lunch or their next appointment. At night, the many clubs here--mostly aligned along a booming stretch of Hubbard Street--make driving difficult and lend the area an aura of controlled exuberance.
