River North is the area my wife and I stay when we come to Chicago, very walkable with a ton of restaurants options, just a beautiful area. The tour guide is absolutely right about Portillo’s chocolate cake, yummy!!

I spent a lot of time in River North in the early 2000’s while attending college. Such a fun and energetic area. When I was working in the south loop in 2017, I would come to River North to meet up with a friend for drinks and dinner. For a while, it was one of the coolest areas for some time. Can’t say I would recommend River North as the top suggested area these days, but very good memories and still a lot of great restaurants. West Loop and Fulton Market seems to be the hot spot in the city now.

Great video Andy, I am heading to Chicago in the spring of 2024 and I can’t wait to explore everything! I have Andy’s Jazz Club on my list and definitely want to try a few other places you’ve listed in this video so I know I’m on the right track! Keep up the great work!

In the basement of Jaleo is an exclusive hidden speakeasy called Pigtail (also by Chef José Andrés). Many of the drinks feature pork in some way hence the name (pig+cocktail). Super intimate and amazing drinks. Expensive ($16-20) per drink and you need reservations, but worth it. Highly recommend.

Thanks for this insight and recommendation! $16-20 is about what drinks cost at some of the Riverwalk spots or downtown Rooftop bars, so it sounds like a worthwhile experience. I’ll have to check it out. -Andy

Hi, Andy. Loving your channel! My partner and I are making our first-ever trip to Chicago next week (how did we wait so long???), and one of the biggest questions we have, believe it or not, is about the Chicago Dog, specifically regarding that bright green relish. Why is it so green??? I guess it's safe to eat, but it looks so strange and, you know, radioactive lol. Would love your feedback!

Hi Lia! Apologies that we missed your comment. Chicago itself is quite diverse, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding authentic and wide-ranging cultural experiences. Depending what time of year you’re visiting, there are festivals and parades celebrating the melting pot cultural of Chicago! I would recommend exploring some neighborhoods to the south of the Loop. If you want more residential areas, check out Hyde Park or Bridgeport. More commonly explored neighborhoods for visitors include Chinatown or Pilsen, which are just west of Museum Campus!

Portillo's does NOT do it best. Portillo's is a silly tourist destination with average food. How about cutting out the mindless hyperbole?
