River North
River North is a fashionable Chicago neighborhood with an outstanding scenery of the Chicago River winding beside the Marina Towers. One of the greatest ways to enjoy River North is to take a walk along the river. It places you in the heart of Chicago's vibrant lakefront district. With its diversified restaurants and nightlife scenes, it is a go-to for after-hour delights as one of the city's upmarket neighborhoods near the central business center.
River North's skyscrapers and open spaces blend seamlessly, and there are attractions on every street. You don't need a guide to figure out where you should go next; just follow the river. You might spend the day at Addington Gallery viewing modern art. Sunda serves exquisite Asian-fusion cuisine for evening. This bustling yet safe neighborhood is just a short walk from the iconic Navy Pier.
If you've traveled this far to view some skyscrapers, you may as well find out why they're so cool. Take a boat tour, such as those offered by Shoreline Sightseeing, to learn about the architecture of the Marina Towers, the Wrigley Tower, and other structures. There's a lot of American history in Chicago, from Al Capone to Barack Obama, and much of it is ensconced in the city's riverfront attractions. A soothing boat ride will also keep you energized for River North's unique nightlife.
You can't visit Chicago and not taste the 'deep dish.' If you've never had a 2-inch-thick pizza, prepare for a revelation. Although the jury is still out on which deep dish is the greatest, no one can argue that this gooey, calorie-laden pie is a North River must. From Giordano's to Gino's East, this neighborhood offers several local favorites. Finding your favorite will be a journey in and of itself.
