Photo tour: Soul

First Look: Soul

Not only is Soul so close to the Metra tracks that you can feel the rumbling of trains passing by, but the vibrant restaurant is divvied up into different environs, all with deliberate art deco details inspired by ’20s and ’30s-era train stations, from handmade subway tiles to wrought-iron rails. Take a seat at the black granite-covered bar and look up to take in a constellation-studded zodiac mural, a nod to the much-larger one in Grand Central Station.
