We stopped by Artopolis Bakery, Cafe & Agora, 306 S Halsted St. General manager Maria Melidis says Artopolis has been in this location for seven years, and it was opened to offer traditional Greek recipes. It features the works: sandwiches with fresh bread, wood-fired pizzas, “artopita” (flaky dough filled with things such as spinach, feta and ham) and entrees.

Owner Julie Chung says, “The West Loop still isn’t quite the destination spot that Wicker Park or Bucktown might be, but it’s still slowly getting there. We’re getting a little bit more retail, a lot of residential build-up, but still the retail is slowly building. Hopefully in the next couple of years it will grow even more.”
