Have you been to Chicago? What did you do? What would you want to do? What did we miss?

@shellykim3311 21 день назад

Thanks for this video! The best one that I’ve seen so far. Planning a quick long weekend trip to the Windy City in June and this is perfect for us. Will follow almost everything that you have recommended. Thanks again!

@MagellanandGreyhound 20 дней назад

You’re very welcome! That’s a good time to go. Hope you have fun 😁

@costat9995 2 года назад

Chicago....one of my dream destinations I have not yet filled! Looks amazing....loved all of them...the wheel is mine ❤️

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

Haha, the wheel is all yours! Hopefully you get to visit soon!

@exploreaswego 2 года назад

This list is amazing!!! As a fellow Chicagoan I am proud to say this is LEGITTTTT!!! Personally I have almost done everything on this list, but I should really make it a goal to do it all! Great for people who live in the city and don't know what's good to do. Highlights are DEEP DISH and ITALIAN BEEF! Clearly all about the food!

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

Thank you! Yes the food is very important. Best to overstuff yourself while you do these things! 😆

@AdventureMuse 2 года назад

Chicago is such a fun city, and sadly I haven’t been back in years! Thanks for sharing so many awesome tips! I use to live in Southern Illinois and have only been there a few times.

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

Hopefully you get back soon. We are usually usually once a year at minimum. It really is a fun city.

@frothybeaver4869 Год назад

Live music, music fest and street musicians is also a must see in the city.

@MagellanandGreyhound Год назад

Definitely! We’ve experienced it, just didn’t video it at the time 😁. Chicago is such a fun city

What a marvelous job on this video. Best I've seen of Chicago ever. Chicago owes you a debt of gratitude. I'm from Wisconsin and appreciate the mention about cheese as well. Love your work.

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

Wow, thank you! We're a small channel, but we try our best! Still so much to learn though. Wisconsin is on our list. We've been to Kenosha and Madison (to buy curds and other cheese goodies 😂), but want to visit more and for longer.

@ConsidertheWonders 2 года назад

Down here in Dallas there is a guy that buys folks pizza for christmas and they alway buy from Giordanos in Chicago! Every year we get a nice reminder of the "second city"!

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

That’s really cool. I’ve seen that they ship but I never knew anyone that did it.

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

It really is chock full of stuff to do! We are well and hope you both are as well!

@trvlnthru 2 года назад

We have been to Chicago several times but have only done about half of these. We had dinner at Giordano's and loved it! There really is so much amazing architecture here. Hope we get to return soon to see the things we have missed on the list in person. Thanks for sharing this!

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

Thank you again! I'm sure we could have made a top 100 list to be honest. It really is a great city, and we always try to do different stuff, even though the stuff we've done is still fun to do again!

@TravelwithSuri 2 года назад

Sorry Guys.. I couldn’t join for the premier as I was down with body ache as I took my second dose of vaccine yesterday. Anyways, it’s really helpful to organize my trip to Chicago this October. I was in Chicago couple of years back and I couldn’t see much at that time! Amazing list of things to do! It’s most diversified city. It has things to do for everyone! Nice video! 😊👍👍👍

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

No worries Suri. We have tried figuring out different days and times. We aren't sure when they are exactly good for anybody. We were almost late for it too! That said, it really is an amazing city. Feel better! Rest and hydrate!

@OpenRoad4Two 2 года назад

Have to plan a trip out to Chicago. Even though we have spent time out there, we haven’t seen or done some of these awesome experiences! Excellent video friends!

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

Thank you! Took us a few trips to get most of the footage. This was not one trip! Can you imagine making a video on NYC? Chicago is easily our favorite city after home. So much fun stuff to do there.

@MountainRoots 2 года назад

Y'all crammed a TON of stuff into this one! Never knew Chicago had so much to see & do. Last time I flew in there was about 10 years ago & it was like -40°, snow piled up everywhere. All I saw was the airport, my hotel & the conference room.😜

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

We go usually at least once a year. It's so much fun. Plus we have two friends there. But man, yeah, when it snows there, it is pummeling, relentless and frigid. Next video will be 500 things to do in NYC. Kidding, for now ...

@celticpaths4k244 2 года назад

I would love to travel to Chicago one day, it has always seemed like a fascinating city to me. That preserves a historical past but very contemporary at the same time. With your video you have made me even more want to go there 😍👍

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

We try to visit once a year, because it's not so terrible a trip from New York. There is so much to do, for all kinds of people, and I know one day you will get to visit!

@SorgiStories 2 года назад

15 down. 10 to go. Also check out the Museum of Science & Industry and the DuSable Museum. Wow. The view from the 94th floor of the Hancock is even better than the Sears, because you can get more of the skyline in one view. Just insane. Malnati’s totally wins deep dish, too. And +1 on cheese curds!

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

That museum and the view atop Hancock is on our list! We go at least once a year to Chicago. I don’t remember which deep dish we liked more, but they were definitely tasty. Cheese curds!

@bencze465 9 месяцев назад

Googling some of these options, the kayaking tours seem cool (found them looking at boats), a pity they probably won't be open in October when I go. Still some nice ideas.

@MagellanandGreyhound 9 месяцев назад

Definitely don’t count yourself out yet! I’d contact the outfitters. October is still doable. It will obviously depend on how cold it’s gotten by then, but I’ve been to Chicago in mid November and it was in the 70s still.

@GladysandKenny 2 года назад

Wow, Chicago looks amazing. I love the high rises and the wonder wheel 😁 There is so much to do, that is great. We love visiting places when there's a lot to do. We try to do it all lol. How long do you recommend staying? Is the food expense? Did you stay at a hotel or Airbnb? Are accommodations expensive?

@MagellanandGreyhound 2 года назад

If you pack each day with stuff, in a four day weekend you can get a lot done. A week is a good length though. Food is slightly cheaper than NY. We did Airbnb and stayed with friends. Your best bet is to find something out of the loop (downtown) but near the L to get there easily. We stayed along the red line north of downtown. Downtown hotels are expensive!

Best thing to do is never go to that pos city until they smarten up and get rid of the dims

@MagellanandGreyhound 10 месяцев назад

You shouldn’t go to most cities for that reason alone. Houston, Nashville, Tampa, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Dallas, Kansas City, Austin, Memphis, are the worst. Hell, Texas is swarming these days. The list is endless. Gotta go to the strongholds in California and Arizona. Bakersfield, Fresno, Mesa, Phoenix. Fine desert air and no bull.
