River North is a Chicago neighborhood located north of the Chicago River, south of Division Street, and west of Wabash Avenue. It is adjacent to the Magnificent Mile retail and tourism corridor.

River North has become one of Chicago's top neighborhoods for nightlife especially on and around Hubbard Street. It once hosted the largest concentration of art galleries in the United States outside of Manhattan. River North has experienced the development of large high-rise buildings, nightclubs and restaurants.

Along with a handful of art galleries today, the area holds many bars, dance clubs, popular restaurants and entertainment venues, and a design district with shops and showrooms selling commercial and luxury interior furnishings in the blocks north of the Merchandise Mart. Kingsbury Park is an area of newly built residential high-rises at Erie Street and the Chicago River.
