Fascinating stuff from a native West Sider!

Incredible architecture!!

Great video Luis! I know this is a Boston video but after 3 years of watching your videos I'm finally visiting Chicago in September from the UK. Can't wait!

Such a great neighborhood, I stumbled upon it by accident after getting my first Jibarito.

I have to try deep dish pizza. I prefer thick crust pizza.

Nice video. I lived in Milwaukee for 25 years and didn't know most of these fun little facts.

I was born and raised north of chicago. I always loved getting chicago dogs. When I moved to Loiusville, KY, there are quite a few "Chicago style" restaurants that sold knock off chicago style hotdogs. Either they didn't use vienna beef hotdogs or they had the wrong toppings or wrong bun. None of them could get it right. That was until I found this little mom and pop place. The owner is from Chicago and he and his wife wanted to open up a genuine Chicago eatery. They had the vienna beef hotdog, the bright green relish, all the correct toppings including the celery salt. It's my only little slice of Chicago out here.

Very insightful, I'm so excited I can't wait to go 🍕🗽🏙

I'm coming for the 4th of July 🗽. Thank you this was very helpful and informative 👍👍

Damn I was hoping some of my graffiti got in the shots. Yall were so close to some of my bigger throw-ups.

the busiest bus route on cta is 8 Halsted and X9 Ashland Express

Native NY'er. This is my favorite hotel in the city. What most don't know is that before c*vid changed the city, the Warwick was an $800+ per night hotel. The service Is IMPECCABLE! And I've stayed at the all the biggies and The Warwick is my go-to.

Love this kinda friends talking, also glad you adapted living here well. 👊

Wolf cub. Name should be cry baby, and blue.

Did the Sky deck with my family today I enjoyed it but the actual ledge part made me a little anxious I don’t think I would enjoy the tilt one. I’m not even afraid of heights

Good video. Food looks great!

Love Rics

Definitely I want to Milwaukee and I don’t understand why someone in particular D Rump will trash this beautiful multicultural city

Great things that you’ve learned about much. And you are right? There is always something going on in NYC. I will never leave NYC.

I moved to the city from Atlanta about three years ago, and your list of things you learned tracks almost exactly with my own.

Grew up in the 70s there three blocks from Wrigley field and thank you so much for calling it by it's true name.

They both are terrific. Been to both.

Idk…. NYC just isn’t the same anymore! I just moved to Chicago for work a year ago from NYC…. I have to say, I am beyond impressed with this City! I had no idea how big this city was until I got here! It’s a power washed version of New York City ! That’s no exaggeration, It’s 100 times cleaner…. It’s cheaper, and far less traffic to deal with! Very easy to get around!! And they have a beach… who would have thought that? That was a huge surprise!

Good

I lived in a 2 bedroom building in Woodlawn that was built in the 1800's. Real huge

Can I get to rosemont on the L?Im traveling to Chicago this month and wanna go to rosemont for a concert but im going with out a car

Get ready for the nyc heat 🫠 lol

Thanks for all the information that's very helpful 🙏

Hancock building by far for an observatory. Deep dish is a casserole dish. Tavern style is the way to go, cut into squares. And ya gotta have an Italian Beef.

Fantastic deli! One of my all time favs in Chicago. The potatoes latkes are to die for. All the sandwiches are 5 star.

This is a real Chicago video. All these choices match up with my experience of being a Chicagoan. The only thing I would add would be Gyros, which I think is one of the most iconic Chicago foods.

Even though it’s been a year, welcome to two Big Apple 😎

glad you came to NY

Beautiful pidgeons. 😊

Great video, thank you!

Good to see you are doing so well in New York! I've always enjoyed your channel and content! :D. Keep up the good work!

I lived in Bushwick in summer of 2022, I agree with the diversity in food options and all that. But it was so hard for me to find Filipino food or any store that sells Filipino stuffs. I had to go to Queens every once in a while to stock up on necessities. G and 7 trains were my companions haha =)

Welcome back John in Chicago

How difficult has it been to pivot your channel toward New York?

I miss the transit in NYC and thought when I moved to Chicago 2 years ago that it would be the same here. MAN, was I mistaken. The transit in Chicago leaves a lot to be desired, unfortunately. I feel less safe on trains here than I did in NYC which is crazy.

Where can you park when dining at Ema?

More talk on Brooklyn...neighborhoods.

Good morning from Illinois Luis 🎉 I love watching your videos. I really enjoy hearing what you’re up to in the differences between the two cities. I’m so glad to hear it. It’s doing well for you. You have inspired me to get out there and travel as you know over these last several years, I was so glad to see this kind of style video with an update. Have a great day out in New York. I hope to run into you one day.

Always good to hear from you Luis! You know you got your suave presentation from Chicago culture but I'm glad you're enjoying the Big Apple. Cheers!

hi luis. thanks so much for sharing your journey. it has been really helpful when i was still researching chicago and eventually moving there :D (i'm posted up in lincoln park now) definitely agree with the variety bit. target/trader joe's are my go-to but try to make the rounds for costco once a month. but still tuning in for the vids for y'all.

Interesting😊

Thank You, Great Vid! Coming From a Wicked Sick Poverty MCS Sufferer That Cant afford to Drive To His Mothers Place 150 Miles away.... FREE YT Traveling is Great, & Especially High In The Sky Vid Instead of trying to Tolerate In Reality Being almost a Quarter Mile Above gromund On See Thru Glass! Yikes.

I just love the old classical style architecture. I hope these buildings will be well maintained in the future. These buildings are heirlooms of Chicago's historical past.

Sweet and hot peppers with mozzarella cheese dipped is my main way

Come review Philly. Angelo's is a must.
