FULTON MARKET LIVING
Commemorating American inventor Robert Fulton (the inventor of the steamboat), Fulton Market is located just across the expressway from the Fulton River District. Formerly a meat-packing, warehouse and industrial district, Fulton Market has grown to be one of Chicago’s trendiest neighborhoods.
With its close proximity to the Loop & expressway, Fulton Market is home to corporate giants like Google & McDonalds, establishing itself as an upscale neighborhood that continues to grow within the Near West Side.
Boasting some of the hottest bars & restaurants, you can also find some favorite local pubs in the mix (Hello, Aberdeen Tap). We love grabbing a bite to eat at one of the many outdoor patios & enjoying a summer evening in the city.
WEST LOOP LIVING
Originally an industrial mecca, the West Loop is now one of Chicago’s most sought out neighborhoods to live.
As one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in Chicago, the West Loop has attracted everything from residential development, leading corporations and sleek boutique hotels like Soho House & Nobu.
A foodie’s utopia, The West Loop is home to a thriving restaurant district on Randolph Street (“Restaurant Row”), offering up everything from casual neighborhood dining to haute cuisine prepared by some of the city’s finest restaurants & celebrity chefs.
If you’re looking for more culture, hop over to Greektown where you can find a museum & cultural center complementing the longstanding Greek restaurants with some of the tastiest gyros & shawarma in the city.
After your culinary tour, you’ll find yourself choosing between going to a Chicago Bulls or Blackhawks game, hitting up an art gallery or boutique or maybe stopping The Randolph Street Market, which features over 200 vendors.
