CHICAGO'S WORST TOURIST TRAPS // What NOT to do in CHICAGO - Travel Tips from a Local (4K Vlog)

You know somones a chicagoan if you say "Im gonna go see the bean" and they say "dont."

Luis still says Sears Tower! 😀

Love pats pizza in Lincoln park

👍

Hi, i'm french and i hope come to chicago in september for the first time . I find an appartement in south loop, it's good ?
And what observatory is better than sears tower ?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my english .

Finally, a real Chicago show with real Chicago speak!

And, it will always be the Sears Tower. Nobody here calls it the Willis Tower. It will always be the Sears Tower to us. Just because some British company decided to buy it and rename it doesn’t change it for us. It’s not the “Whatcha talkin’ bout Willis” Tower. That blasphemy.

I’m a born and raised southside Chicagoan and this advice is accurate af 😂

My boyfriend and I are traveling by train to Chicago for a week from Louisiana at the end of the month. I've watched so many of your videos the last couple of months and I cannot tell you how grateful I am and a bit more familiar I feel after these wholesome bits of info! First really big city besides Dallas, TX. Thank you so kindly!

Good speaker, good info. Two thumbs up

navy pier is probably a lot like pier 39 in San Francisco.

My question is what are some hidden gems of Chicago? Meaning what are some lesser known spots of Chicago that out of towners should check out

You mentioned that there are better/other, cheaper observatories than the Willis/Sears Tower. What are they, please?

Chicago, what I remember is basketball club Chicago bull

If you have children with you, I would actually recommend going to navy pier for their children's museum. Doesn't disappoint.

I just saw this and being from Chicago ( was born and raised there ) but I no longer live there LOL !!!! I have to agree 100% with this vid. I almost always cringe when people tell me they love to visit Chicago and do these things that you mentioned. It truly does not do the city any justice whatsoever. And yes , most Chicagoans eat thin crust pizza FOR SURE> When I lived there I would get a slice or two of deep dish maybe once every couple years. Always always prefer the thin crust.

I love how you still call it the Sears Tower, it shows how you are truly a Chicagoan! I just love your videos, would love to join you for either a beef, wet and hot or some tavern style pizza, but I have to run to Jewels to pick up some groceries.

I'm from Chicago and I love navy pier

Field Museum, Museum of science and Industry, Wacker Drive, Blues Brothers Tour, Lincoln Park Zoo, Buckingham Fountain, Polk Street Blues Bar, Art Institute, River Walk, Shedd Aquarium, ect. Etc

Worst thing I’ve done when I came to Chicago for 5day work trip was to buy 7day cta card pass. Everyone I walked on foot ;) 50km on foot in 5 days ;)

This video is spot on, but if you are gonna do a few of these traps, then I highly recommend that you get a CityPass. It will allow you to choose which touristy things to do.

We did SkyDeck, a museum, and my favorite- the architectural boat tour, which was excellent. Again, it is definitely touristy, but the CityPass will at least save you some money. All of these things separately can be pricey

I disagree with the bean not having history haha We made this history, imagine a 100 years from now people visiting the bean haha will be a wow moment we should be proud because it was built in our generation :D and it has our name haha millennial 😁.. every aspect of the city matters hehe if you guys have time and money visit everything 😄😄

What month is this please?- will it snow next month OCTOBER?

Sears Tower sky deck is a tourist trap. There are a lot of tall buildings there.

AVOIDING THE BANAL!

Stay away from da' pier

Chicago is a beautiful city to visit!

I get my coffee at 711 😂😳

Hey Luis I will be visiting this month. Do you offer private tours ?

you look fairly young, I was born in chicago my parents owned hotel dearborn /erie st. went to holy name havent been there since 1997 which chicago changed immensley couldn't recognize it. I used to love rush street, yes navy pier and lincoln park, chicago ave beach and the old is it tao nightclub restaurant now didn't it used to be club where bands used to play? that was around corner the old vintage bldgs brownstones is awesome, had girlfriend who lived on 910 N Lakeshore dr in glass bldg what 10 floor which was awesome to see the lake michigan. Yes if i ever go back I know where to go what to avoid, science & industry and museum would be taking me back to childhoods and lincoln park zoo and just going to old town ...so much has changed. Michigan ave is amazing ..yes avoid generic restaurants and stores for sure. Enjoy your videos ..do you have more like old town, clark st driving dearborn ..downtown etc.

Can you please share things to do with Kids ? I will be traveling for work , and my husband and kids will be looking for things to do during the day I would love to find out things I can do in the evening with them.

The best place to go to in Chicago is 1060 West Addison!

One time I saw the Starbucks I was like what the

Architecture boat tours are where it's at if you want a tour.

In Chicago today what 3 things must I do and what place to eat for a real foodie

I highly recommend a bike tour instead of a bus tour.

Plan on traveling to Chicago and these are great videos

I’m not from Chicago, but I grew up obsessed with the Sears tower. I still call it that.

VERY nice tourw thete in.chcago city look BEAUTIFUL city
THANK you for great SHARING my FRIEND
greatting from INDONESIA

There's over 200 neighborhoods?! I always thought Chicago had 77 neighborhoods...

Loved it, man! So different to the other videos! I'm gonna be there in 10 days and you really helped!

Thank you Sir

Whoa! I will be returning to Chicago for the first time since 2007 (and I lived in STL back then).. and I remember taking a picture under the bean. I am actually positive about it. Is it forbidden now because of COVID?

One of the places I still wonder why so many tourists go to is CPOG. I mean, I know it's a tradition, but honestly the apps are better than the pizza itself, and if you are waiting for longer than an hour to get in there, there are far better pizza places within even a mile of there to go to! But hey, to each their own, Chicago is awesome, enjoy it!

This video really sucks! Have those thumbs fixed.. creepy af..

I know Ditka's was a tourist trap but I loved going, bummed the downtown location closed up. The service and ambiance was awesome and food was pretty good too.

Great video .. I’m impressed and informed 🌟🌟

I love the Deep dish in Chicago but that tavern style just hits different!😋

I’m from Chicago and we go once a week at least because we are only 45 minutes away. And my sister goes to DePaul and we at this point knows every part of the city. And my grandpa lived 10 minutes from the city and we went to the Pier every time we went sadly he passed away but we go all the time

I just visited Chicago with a friend a few months ago. My recommendation on the food...if you have someone in your life who is from Chicago (either school, or childhood, or some other connection), ask them about restaurants. I never would have learned about Portillos and their Chocolate Cake Shake. That is definitely a must! Oh, and I highly recommend Stan's Donuts...especially their glazed pistachio donut.
