So what are the places mentioned in this video?
✅ The Langham
The Langham, Chicago opened its doors in September 2013. However, the building it occupies has a rich history that dates back to 1971 when it was originally constructed as the IBM Plaza. Designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the IBM Building is renowned for its modernist architecture and is considered one of Chicago's architectural gems.

✅ The Drake Hotel
The Drake Hotel was built in 1920 and opened its doors to guests on New Year's Eve in 1920. It was designed by the architectural firm Marshall and Fox, known for their work on several other prominent Chicago landmarks. The hotel's design combines elements of French Renaissance and Beaux-Arts
architecture, giving it a distinctive and grand appearance.

✅ London House
Once the iconic London Guarantee & Accident headquarters, our 1923 building was renowned as one of the "Big Four" skyscrapers around the former Michigan Avenue Bridge. Today, our rooms span an adjoining 22-story glass structure, walking distance from Millennium Park and Magnificent Mile shopping, with Chicago's only three-level rooftop bar.

✅ Trump hotel
The Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago was developed by the Trump Organization, led by then-businessman and real estate developer Donald J. Trump. The tower was originally planned to be even taller, but due to concerns about its impact on the nearby historic Wrigley Building and the Chicago River, the design was modified to its current height.

✅ London House rooftop
The London House Rooftop is a popular rooftop bar and restaurant located in the LondonHouse Chicago hotel that was originally built in 1923 as the London Guarantee & Accident Building, a historic landmark in the city. In 2016, after undergoing a significant renovation, the building was transformed into the luxury LondonHouse Chicago hotel, which includes the stunning rooftop bar and restaurant.

I totally agree
If you go to Chicago. Spend your time in the neighborhoods. West Loop, West Town, Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wrigleyville, Lincoln Square, Andersonville. Stay at any hotel chain. Hyatt, Marriott, go explore. Restaurants: Trivoli Tavern, Au Cheval, Lena Brava, Bavettes, RPM Seafood, Mr. Beef, JP Graziano’s, Lena Brava, ABA, Monteverde, Green Street Smoked Meats, High Five Raman, Cut, Gibsons, Frog Bar, Pizza Lobo, Cafe BaBaReeba, Lula Cafe, Coda Di Volpe, Motte Street, Professor Pizza, Piece Pizza, Tank Noodle, Hop Leaf, Bar Roma, Big Jones, AntiPrima, Caro Mio, DueLire, Little Bad Wolf, Herb…. Portillo’s, Sweet Greens, Starbucks, Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder is not Chicago. I love your videos. But get into Chicago. River North/Michigan Avenue is not Chicago.
I live in Chicago and it's pretty much ON POINT.. One thing I would add for the sports person is to add some sports - Basketball: Bulls, Hockey: Hawks, Baseball (Chicago's Favorite pasttime): Cubs or Sox.. and of course - FOOTBALL - Bears
I lived in and around Chicago my entire life and I didn’t know half of these places existed! I’m definitely going to a few these places now. Loved the video! You just got a new subscriber!

Have fun!
As a local, it's always interesting to see what people highlight as 'must sees' or spots to eat at. I've never been to Oven Grinder (the wait is prohibitive) or had a Rainbow Cone. Sweetgreen is everywhere in the US, and I consider it mostly just a boring weekday lunch option (if you're in River North, go to Eataly instead around the corner). And I don't know a soul here who'd recommend Michael Jordan's Steakhouse or Tao's. BUT, you mostly nailed it with everything in the second half of the video (from Garrett's on). Go to the West Loop to eat (Girl and the Goat, if you can). Find a Harold's if you like fried chicken. And try and at least check out a couple other neighborhoods outside the downtown area (Old Town, Hyde Park, Wicker Park/Bucktown, Lakeview--to name a few).
Best Chicago vid ever 👌🏽
Very helpful. Thanks!
Great and detailed video

Love the detaildness of your video

Been to shy town innumerable times and never saw a lot of your sites cudos
Why are there clips of Beverly Hills within this video ?
*Macy’s is on State Street if you’re looking to check out the Walnut Room ❤

I appreciate the comment! Will put it on my list -- I went last year and have a great 3 day plan
¿Is it sure to take the blue line to O'hare airport to chinatown on night?
Your must do activities there would be don’t get carjacked or shot.
What diana ?
So not only is it the world's largest Starbucks, but it's the world's largest Starbucks in the world. Can't wait.
20-30 minute ride to downtown? Correction: 1 to 2 hours, depending on traffic.
I was there last weekend and stayed at the Hyatt Regency which IMO was a better location. The only thing that spoiled their magnificent skyline and your video was the “Trump” label on that building (we all know Trump doesn’t own most of the buildings he’s arranged to have his name on). Do better Chicago and have that eyesore removed. Fortunely the view from my room was of the Chicago River towards the Navy Pier.
