We're excited for you to explore our favorite neighborhood! Getting around tips: Most of the West Loop is easily walkable but going further you'll want another form of transport. Uber and Lyft are safe and readily available using the apps, or use Curb to summon taxis. Avoid buses or the CTA "L" trains late at night (Google Maps recommended for public transport directions).
