Top 10 EPIC Hidden Gems & Secret Spots in Chicago (Even LOCALS Don't Know) [4K]

Well done

Idk how you popped up on my feed; long story short thanks man! Definitely knew about 2 spots the rest here be to me. Will subscribe for more!

Loved this video, keep going. Super interested in more architecture, art and perhaps cool stores and brands unique to the city.

great vid!! i love your channel, it's such a good resource as I'm new to the city and didn't know where to start exploring :) thanks for your work!

Aw, man. Your Chicago videos make me miss me living there. The best city. 👌

Love the University of Chicago gems

Been to 7/10 of these places, would love to see more videos like this!

The first coffee place was my go to in college.

Good job my guy 👍

I love Damatos the deli next door has great bizza

As a chicago native I approve of this message

There’s a hidden stairwell that goes up 8-10 floors and it’s filled with the most insane graffiti you can see. It’s somewhere along Michigan Ave south of Roosevelt rd

i loveeee the Smart museum, highly recommend

Interesting places- need to check them out! Never knew about that coffee shop in downtown and video games @ MARZ must be something new! Also, parking around there is very limited but try their pastrami sandwich (if it's available) with black mustard- weird but delicious!!

Rosehill has dozens of famous graves and nearly every large family plot has a story. If you’re driving through keep a look out for deer, there’s a herd of around 7-9 that live within the cemetery. If anyone does make the trip from further away, there’s excellent food just east in Andersonville and Fireside is right by the main entrance on Ravenswood. Appreciate the excellent video!

don't bring traffic to the pedway! lol

next time you go to willy mammoth go two doors down to taste of lebanon, some of the best food in the city

Fellow Chicagoan, Great job!! Nice video, didn’t know about Marz but now I do and I must check it out. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

I just found this the other day by accident but there’s a piece of the Berlin Wall on the el stop at western.

I guess I’m really Chicago, or maybe my art background… I know all about these areas. :) still nice job for pointing out our gems 💎

why did you blur the trump building

Really well put together video, I also loved the commentary!

Louis you should add the Galloping Ghost in Brookfield,Il as a hidden gem!
It is Chicagolands largest indoor arcade.

I finesse that like button on every video. Lets help our boy Gusto grow!

Excellent video

This content is excellent! I was just thinking I need to go a little day adventure in Chicago. I live in Roger’s Park but I love discovering new things here!

MARZ is the spot bro. Also them subs are fire!!!.

Back in the 60s, every April we would go to the international dog show at the amphitheater in the Union Stockyards. It was a benched show with every AKC breed at the time. They had Saluki and Irish Wolfhound races. Sporting dog field and water retrieving trials. And final judging in the main arena. It was such a great annual event. Afterwards we would have dinner at the Stockyard Inn. Where Leo Carrillo's priceless saddle from the TV show "The Cisco Kid" was displayed. I even remember seeing the last vestige of cattle being rounded up by honda motorcycles as I sat on top of the corral overlooking the almost abandoned fences that ranged for 10 miles. I never missed that dog show from 1962 to 1975. Eventually it was at McCormick place. Never the same experience.

Some places, I never knew about.

Listen we lost Chicago’s Best and Check Please so this is much appreciated. You’re a Geoffrey Baer for our generation.

Awesome stuff, big guy, Thanks!

dope shoes Luis... I wonder if you have a video for best male grooming places ... barbering.. etc

Just watched a few of your videos and I love 'em. As a native Chicago girl, you taught me a lot I didn't even know!

hi Luis enjoy your videos and I am going yo Chicago later this year and will incorporate some of your ideas. so have you ever done the Segway tour? what do you think? also have you been to galloping ghost arcade out in Brookfield?

Where is that nasa space craft located ? Great vid btw

Marz does have good beer, I went there when I vacationed in chicago for the first time last year+

I used to live in Indiana and I am always trying to find good Chicago videos to show my friends and they are so good at it! They talk about all the interesting facts and show the best places! Happy to have found them! I’m hooked!!!🥰👏🏽

I stumbled on this place by accident one day many years ago and was surprised and fascinated. I was born and raised in Chicago and had never heard of it. I did hear of a similar system in Downtown Montreal. Haven't had a chance to get up there yet to check it out.

Luis I love D'Amotos

Mars brewery!!! i love that place!

I grew up down the street from d'amatos.... yum

Fun fact, the stock yards was a pretty prominent underground racing spot back in the late 90's to early 2000's. We're talking about organized level of gear heads that used to meet at the Jewel-Osco/White Castle parking lot pre-dating all of the Fast and the Furious craziness.

Going to Chicago for the first time in June on our honeymoon! Can't wait! Your videos are amazing! Thank you!

Please do more hidden gem videos! I've been wanting to explore more landmarks and spots like the ones you featured here. Love everything you do for our city ❤️

These feel like true hidden gems! Thanks for giving me so many great ideas for my upcoming (and first) trip to Chicago.

Pedway is like the PATH in Toronto. D Amato's seems like a fun place. 🇮🇹 Coffee ☕️ shops. Smart Museum. How about the underground roads?

Good vibes thanks for sharing and saved it. I’ll be checking out a few of these spots. Happy and blessed 2024!

Planning to bring my two Preteen boys back Chicago in a week... As you're talking I'm opening up browsers on my laptop and saving everything you're saying. 🎯

Tell me you're a Southsider without telling me you're a Southsider.

Well done
