5 Best Places to Shop in River North, Chicago
In the area between the buzzy Gold Coast and the Chicago River, the vibe is less frenetic and the retail is more focused on art galleries, antiques shops, and home-furnishings stores. Some of these are housed in historic buildings—most notably Bloomingdale's Home & Furniture Store, which occupies the Moorish Revival–style Medinah Temple. Shoppers who work up an appetite needn’t worry. Somewhat surprisingly, there are also a number of touristy megarestaurants here, including Ed Debevic's, Rainforest Café, and a humongous flagship McDonald's.
