@@Jamesnu on average for sure, but there's a lot of newer places in Chicago (not all in Chinatown) that are on the same or similar level. Started changing a handful of years ago really. Next time go to Dongpo Impression too for good Sichuan food if you like that. Only other place I've had to not hold back the spice was Szechuan Mountain House in Flushing. Also can't pass up QXY for dumplings.
@@MR-ml2po Absolutely! Thanks for the recommendations! I just looked up Dongpo and they've got a good looking menu. I'll definitely have to check it out sometime. I've actually been to QXY and you're right. Great spot for dumplings!
I love Paris Baguette so will go there on my next visit. I want to eat Minghin Restraunt last year we ate at Triple Crown was so good last visit didnt have much time to explore area last trip plan on really exploring next trip in Dec.
Thank you for sharing. I will visit it next time I hit town. I took a look at the location via google maps and what is wild is my Grand Mother used to live in walking distance, but we never went to China Town. I think it is because it was in an odd location relative to where she lived. Also, I think it was because by my house we had one of the best Chinese restaurants on the planet! Peace and Light .. Have a Great One ..
I don’t know “Rules of Civility” but the title sounds like a perfect match for you: clearly you live by your own rules and you do so in a most civil manner. R.
I really enjoyed "Rules of Civility." Though not as absorbing as "Gentleman," the main character is her own person, and the author successfully transported me to that "Gatsby" kind of world. The author always has me stopping to re-read sentences and paragraphs because of their poignancy and crafted beauty. I couldn't get through "Lincoln Highway," just detested each character. But many friends, whom I look up to, just loved the book. Going to give it another try.
I definitely got those "Gatsby" vibes from the book. I just loved the descriptions and feel of the story, but I did enjoy "A Gentleman in Moscow" more. I've heard similar reactions to "Lincoln Highway." I do plan to read it eventually and hope for the best with that one. Still, I think Amor Towles is a great writer and I'm eager to see what he will produce in the future.
Another great video James Good to see you back home in Chicago I didn’t make it to Chinatown when I was in Chicago but it’s on my list for my next visit
1:38 Oh my gosh you brought back memories! I was a background actor for the Dark Knight back in 2010 and I spent much of my downtime in that hallway. Nice to know the building was renovated! Now I need to go back and check it out. Thanks a lot for your recommendations. Currently on a Chicago Chinatown RU-vid binge as I plan to go there one day again!
That's awesome! Yeah, the old post office is such a beautiful building and I was really impressed with their renovations. I hope you enjoy Chicago's Chinatown! It really is a nice place!
Unfortunately I haven't, but I've heard good things about the spot. I'll be sure to try their roast duck if I get the chance. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you .. I am from Chicago and I honestly do Not remember China town ... @1:09 Let's see if you video jogs my memory! I will let you know at the end of the Vid
I see your point. If you’re from Chicago and don’t know Chinatown that’s actually kind of normal in my opinion. I grew up in Philadelphia and none of my friends ever visited Philly’s Chinatown or any Asian spots except for Americanized Chinese food places.
