Best Restaurants The Chicago Loop

Best Restaurants The Chicago Loop

Chicago's "Loop" is the city's official downtown area. The second largest Downtown Business District in the United States, the Loop's boundaries are the Chicago River on the West, Michigan Avenue on the East, Wacker Drive on the North and Congress Parkway on the South. The Loop is known for its famous skyscrapers and historic buildings; it has been the site of architectural creativity and experimentation for years.
Although many believe the term "The Loop" comes from the elevated "L" trains that do indeed form a loop around the downtown area, the name actually comes from the route of a streetcar that served Chicago in 1882.
