While once primarily an industrial district lined with warehouses, the Chicago West Loop has experienced a major transformation in recent years. Home to "Restaurant Row" and easily accessible using public transit, this neighborhood is now one of the trendiest (and tastiest) neighborhoods in Chicago. You can experience a variety of dining experiences along "Restaurant Row" from a burger and beer at a pub or upscale diner to a number of fine dining options. This stretch also includes sushi, tapas, sports bars, coffee shops and cocktail lounges. You really can have it all here. For dessert, you can always stop by a French or Greek bakery to pick up a fresh pastry, or head to one of the local donut shops.
