River North Community

River North

Come and discover one of Chicago’s most vibrant neighborhoods – right in the heart of the city. The area is known for its world-class restaurants; trendsetting nightclubs; top hotels: wonderful gallery district and so much more.

River North has galleries, hotels, transportation, shops, and great restaurants. The Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, and the former Chicago Sun-Times Building (now Trump International Hotel and Tower) and the “Cathedral District’s” Catholic Holy Name Cathedral and Episcopal St. James Cathedral are just a few of the extraordinary sites to see. But it is the Gallery District that sets River North apart from the rest of Chicago. No one would believe that it once was an old manufacturing and warehouse area. Now, it has the most art galleries in the United States, outside of Manhattan. Artists trying to make a name for themselves display their art alongside established artists. It is an area that has cool dance clubs, hot bars, and all kinds of entertainment. If blues is your thing, then The House of Blues, where people from around the world come to hear blues music and see folk art is the place for you, or try Andy’s Jazz Club to satisfy your jazz cravings. Whatever your style of music is–Traditional, Bop, Swing, Fusion, Latin or even Afro-Pop–you will find it here.
Feeling a little hungry? You could try one of the theme-restaurants located in River North. A couple of popular ones with visitors is the tropical-themed Rainforest Cafe.
