The West Loop is the neighborhood just west of downtown Chicago, across the Chicago River from the Loop, running roughly from the river west to Ashland Avenue and from Grand Avenue south to the Eisenhower Expressway. It's part of the Near West Side community area and mainly in the 60607 and 60661 zip codes. Once a district of meatpackers, warehouses and printers, it's now known for the restaurants of Randolph Street and Fulton Market, converted loft buildings and new high-rises, corporate headquarters, and a walk or short train ride to downtown offices and both major commuter rail stations.
