点评:can't believe I'm a Native Chicagoan and overlooked this charming collection of food vendors and locally owned boutique style shops!
Today I took a long leisurely hike from the West loop back to River North and finally ran into the French Market located within the Canal street Metra station.
I found so many tempting food vendors and chose Frietkoten Belgian Fries because it's been ages since I've had genuine Belgian Friet prepared with dipping sauces. I took my time chatting with a couple of friendly female professionals on their lunch break then explored a bit of crystals 🔮 that were set on display by Michael who does a wonderful job helping out customers at the information desk. Michael told me the crystal vendor was away at a Rosemont crystal convention but he'd be happy to help me make a purchase and help me pay the owner since he knew his contact information.
I must have spent a couple hours here just eating and wandering around and met so many interesting characters. Igor Irbe owns a map design shop here so go have a look and absorb the good vibes!
I am so thankful to Michael today for providing me with useful advice and making my shopping experience more magically enfused! 🌟
I'm definitely looking forward to future visits! Oh and they do allow service animals here and go have a look at the Barking Spot Bakery because they have plenty of gourmet treats for dogs and cats 🐈 here too!

今天我从西环路悠闲地徒步回到北河,最后跑到了位于运河街梅特拉站内的法国市场。
我发现了很多诱人的食品摊贩并选择了 Frietkoten Belgian Fries,因为我已经很久没有吃到真正的比利时 Friet 蘸酱了。我花时间在午休时间与几位友好的女性专业人士聊天,然后探索了迈克尔展示的一些水晶🔮,迈克尔在问讯处为客户提供了出色的帮助。 Michael 告诉我水晶供应商不在参加 Rosemont 水晶大会,但他很乐意帮我购买并帮我付款,因为他知道他的联系信息。
我一定在这里花了几个小时吃饭和闲逛,遇到了很多有趣的人物。 Igor Irbe 在这里拥有一家地图设计店,所以去看看并吸收良好的氛围吧!
我今天非常感谢迈克尔为我提供了有用的建议,让我的购物体验更加神奇! 🌟
我非常期待未来的访问!哦,他们确实允许服务性动物来这里,然后去 Barking Spot Bakery 看看,因为这里也有很多适合猫狗的美食🐈!
