Areas of Chicago - Wrigley Building at Mag Mile

The largest city in the Midwest, Chicago is home a wide variety of neighborhoods each with its own distinct features and charm. Many areas are shaped by location, business and ethnic makeup. What ever you are looking to enjoy, Chicago probably has it.

Cultural neighborhoods like Chinatown and Little Italy radiate with foreign influence. Shops, restaurants and museums showcase the culture of the residents of the area. Festivals and cultural events celebrating the area's heritage usually take place during the summer.

When it comes to business, shopping and entertainment the Loop and Magnificent Mile have that area cornered. Immense steel giants rise up from the ground and shade the downtown skyline. World-class restaurants and luxury hotels are common around the area. While Chicago's version of New York's Fifth Avenue, Magnificent Mile, is home to the latest in high-end fashion.

Historical building and chic dance club collide at River North. What started out as an artistic community has now become a trendy neighborhood with great shop and superb restaurants.

Lakeview, better known as Wrigleyville, is home to the second oldest Major League Baseball stadium Wrigley Field. If you cannot score Chicago Cub tickets, there are plenty of bench seats perched high up on neighboring houses and buildings.
