River North's name is aptly derived from the fact that it is located just north of the Chicago River. Despite it's uncreative title, River North is home to some of Chicago's premier art galleries, design studios, and bustling night life. Originally home to old industrial warehouses forming a hub around Chicago's Merchandise Mart, artists and designers began flooding the area for cheap, rentable loft spaces perfect for their artistic endeavors. We love River North because we can find inspiration at every corner, not to mention terrific food.
Experience the food, culture, and gypsy spirit of Bohemia in this River North enclave.
This quaint sandwich shop is a gourmet lunch destination that will transport you to Tuscany. The Artisan Cellar knows how to do panini’s with 75 artisan cheeses, perfectly paired Italian cured meats, tangy spreads such as sun dried tomato tapenade and pesto genovese, all served on on a crispy ciabatta roll. As the "cellar" in its name indicates, it also serves as a wine shop with complimentary tastings every Friday from 4-6pm.
