A Guide for Navigating Chicago's Restaurant Row on Randolph Street
The vibrant strip of Randolph Street between Halsted and Ogden Avenue isn’t dubbed Restaurant Row for nothing. Lined with some of Chicago’s best eateries, the restaurant scene in this part of the West Loop neighborhood is as equally diverse as it is delicious. It’s because of the neighborhood’s close proximity to three major expressways, the United Center, Chicago’s main business district in The Loop, and of course the area’s old-time industrial and urban theme that makes Restaurant Row in the downtown West Loop so unique, desirable, and downright cool.
If you’re new to Chicago or don’t frequent the West Loop neighborhood much, there’s no doubt you’ll be overwhelmed once arriving on Randolph Street and in the heart of Restaurant Row. The restaurant choices seem endless and the numerous patios and fashionably designed building exteriors make for a lively and somewhat animated atmosphere. But there’s no doubt that once your experience Chicago’s Restaurant Row once, it won’t be long before you make your way back.
