Greektown, Chicago
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greektown is a neighborhood in the Near West Side of the American city of Chicago, Illinois.
Greektown is made up mostly of bars and restaurants located roughly between Van Buren and Madison Streets, along Halsted Street and just west of the Loop. As the name suggests, the area has a large Greek American population. Many have left the neighborhood, leaving mostly restaurants, although a cultural museum and an annual parade hope to ensure the continuation of Greek heritage in Chicago. It is just one of many small neighborhoods that make up the Near West Side community area, and is popular with tourists and Chicago residents alike.
Greektown is easily accessible via public transportation by riding the Chicago Transit Authority's Blue Line to the UIC-Halsted station.
