River North, Chicago

Clark (100W) to the Chicago River, Chicago River to Chicago (800N)

One of Chicagos most delicious neighborhoods, thanks to the 24-hour operated Blommer Chocolate Factory, River North was once a mecca of manufacturing and warehouses. Many of these old manufacturing sites have become home to spacious lofts and offices. Trendy restaurants, dance clubs, galleries and shops soon followed. The Merchandise Mart and Apparel Center continue as the hub of Chicagos furniture and fashion design industries. Now known as an area where Chicagoans live, work and play, new construction is popping up all around. Housing is somewhat restricted to lofts and new conversions offering some of the most breathtaking views of the city.
