The West Loop is a new Chicago neighborhood that emerged out of a former warehouse and manufacturing district. There are a lot of working artists in the West Loop, giving the area a creative vibe with a laid-back attitude. Galleries and lofts dominate the real estate here and because it is still a bit off-the-radar for many Chicagoans, the West Loop enjoys less congestion than other parts of the city. Check out the cafés and restaurants in the West Loop for hip takes on favorite Chicago fare and get the best Greek food in Greektown.
