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.
First it was the cupcake craze. Then, doughnuts. Then, bacon doughnuts. If there is any doughnut shop that truly stands out among the fad chasers, it's Doughnut Vault. Tucked into a small corner of Franklin Street, this little shop prides itself on having perfected that old fashioned, crispy on the outside, cakey on the inside, doughnut. An ideal breakfast choice for the traditionalists and pastry perfectionists alike.
