Always good to see you when someone visiting the USA doesn’t go to New York or Boston. Those are the easiest stops but not representative of the country. Chicago is right in the middle and gives you a good flavor. How is school treating you?
Exactly. I wanted to find a good vlog on youtube about Chicago, but couldn't find one, so i booked a flight and made one haha. I did vlog Ny and Boston too, but I wasn’t there too long. Thanks for your comment, school is going great :)
As a Chicagoan, this was cute! To anyone else visiting, avoid the chain restaurants, there are so many independent places to eat that you never have to set foot in a Subway or Corner Bakery! There's also different kinds of pizza, not just deep dish. Also, visit the neighborhoods, not just downtown. The boat tour really is the best way to see the city, especially when it's nice outside. Enjoy!
At 3:08 is the Picasso behind you. Hopefully you got to see the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan on your way to Notre Dame (or another time if you end up going to school there;). It's good to go swimming when it's so hot. Glad you got to see the Cubs!! Greetings from Northwest Indiana.
Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right, that is the picasso. Ahh i think we drove past the Dunes, but will definitely do them next time! So much to see! Thanks for your comment :)
As a longtime Chicagoan, love this and your perspective as a UK tourist. I have a son close to your age who went to uni in 🇬🇧, and I enjoyed visiting there. He graduated in 2023.
Thats so cool! i'm glad you enjoyed your visit. Are there any other places you're interested in visiting in the UK? I'm trying to get some more video ideas :) Thank you for your comments
You are welcome. Yes, the Chicago is very good. The are different selections to select from. Deep dish pizza is what many of Chicagoland people like here. And that was good you and your friends went to a Cubs baseball game there in the Lakeview neighborhood. Yes, there are tons of bars to go to. When you come to stay here you will see many many more great things to do. Then you can go to New York and see the great places to go there. I live both cities because of my families in both of them. Great food in both cities!!😊😊❤
You hope you come back to Chicago soon before the winters here. ☺ it does get windy here!! But if you can survive the winters then you will know what to expect here. New York gets the snow but not the wind some much.
Did you enjoy your first baseball game ?? Wrigley field is a classic.Chicago has one more baseball team. the white sox, as well as a nfl nba and nhl teams and yes it even has a soccer team.
@inexses23 it was genuinely one of the best times I think I’ve ever had. Such a fun experience, great food, great people. It was a win for cubbies as well. I’d love to see the bulls play, so that’s next on my list! Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed the vid!
@@LeeMoore-tu4gr ooh I’ll speed up my editing! Sorry to keep you waiting so long! I’m releasing a video this evening reviewing American snacks if you’re interested in that. But as for the rest of the vlogs they will be uploaded in a couple of days :)
for the british a 6 hour drive is crazy because we're such a small island. an hour drive needs a few weeks of preparation haha. Thanks for the comment, please consider liking!
@@samvjordanlong drives are not for everybody but from Detroit Chicago Toronto Canada Louisville Kentucky charleston West Virginia Cincinnati Ohio Indianapolis Indiana are nice cities in United States with nice people they are all between 4 to 7 hour drives from Detroit but if you do ever come to Michigan Detroit is not the best.
@@samvjordanyou must of been in the downtown area that’s the best because they fixed it up the nfl draft this past April was great I live in the suburbs of Detroit about 20 miles north of Detroit in Clinton township Michigan that where it’s not the best but glad you had a good experience here with good people one day I want to go to black pool England and go to all cities near by cities liverpool manchester Leeds Bradford England.
@@JoelGarza-sw4su thats interesting, what draws you to blackpool? I guess if you like the beach or amusements that makes sense. I'd recommend cornwall for beaches. Manchester is definitely an up and coming city.
Found your decision to go see the Home Alone house rather strange. It is of zero architectural significance. There are so many other things in and around the city that you would have better off spending your time seeing.
@Secession1900 As you can probably tell, I love John Hughes’s movies and therefore my interest in Chicago was primarily to see film locations. Thanks for watching till the end though!! And I appreciate the comment.
Funny. It will always be Sears Tower to me. John Hancock has a pretty view, for your next visit. Try the Italian Beef at multiple places & Chicago Tavern style thin crust-we don't eat deep dish all the time. Drive along Lake Shore Drive (now called DuSable L.S.D.), long and pretty view along Lake Michigan. Have a great school year, neighbor.

I lived in Chicago for more than 50 years. Knife and fork is actually the most common way for a native to eat Chicago deep dish pizza.
Unfortunately I only found out afterwards 😂 but thanks for the comment and please consider subscribing :)
@@samvjordanStill... Thin-crispy Tavern-style Chicago pizza cut into small squares. This is the REAL Chicago pizza throughout city neighborhoods.
@@davidw7 oh thanks for the recommendation. will have to try next time!
Good editing, engaging and I saw a fair amount of Chicago. Always wanted to see the ferris bueller filming locations. Subscribed

That's good advice. We thought Corner Bakery was an artisan café haha, turns out we were wrong.
@@samvjordannext time check out The Original Pancake House, yolk or Lou Mitchell’s in Downtown. I’m glad you liked chicago!

A cool movie that happens largely in Chicago..
Blues Brothers
classic. rip john
When I lived in NWI I would occasionally cross the bridge(the 95th Street bridge) they jump in the movie.
@@hifijohnlived the dream
And people laugh at me for still wearing N95 masks on planes.
Wearing a mask on such a confined space is a good idea. I felt really ill the day before though.
You didn't go to the "Mets game." You saw the CHICAGO CUBS play the Mets!!!
@@newsguy5241 of course. I beg your apologies sir
@@samvjordan - no problem! Being from Chicago, we all HATE the New York Mets- AND the Yankees!!
@@newsguy5241 yeah well cubs thrashed mets that day so that’s good lol. Lost in the end though 😢😢
@@samvjordan The Cubs is one of the original baseball teams originally called the white stockings, Wrigley field is the second oldest ballpark.
