What's good #GustoFam, make sure to drop a 🇵🇷 in the comments! Would you want to see a Humboldt Park food tour? What neighborhood or city should we visit next?

[@chamishi]

🇵🇷

[@amgooder]

Nice to see PRican neighborhoods like these, wish we had more of them. Spanish Harlem next! Bronx was home to generations of🇵🇷sad to see how very little has been done to preserve what was once our stomping ground. There should be a musem...and murals of prominent PRicans...like JLO, Big Pun,Sonia Sotomayor, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez,Tito Puente,Lin Manuel, Rita Moreno, Erick Estrada, Lauren Velez Liz Torres, All NewYorkers!.. many others! Un paseo de la fama in the Bronx asap!✌️🗽🇵🇷 Great job btw📽!

[@angiegarcia7258]

My mom is Mexican but grew up in Humboldt Park and I grew up loving PR food even though we lived in Brighton/Gage/McKinley Park.

[@shannacollins8371]

Humboldt Park is one of my favorite neighborhoods. This place, Uptown, Rogers Park, Devon Ave, just *chef’s kiss*

[@eddyyt7466]

This is my neighborhood right here, since birth 😊

[@MissEdie1973]

I live in Humboldt Park and Cafe Colao is one of the best coffee shops in the area.

[@trippyerinsd]

Roeser’s has such an amazing neon sign 😍

[@goodbyeseeyalater]

I have nothing but beautiful and precious memories of Humboldt park. Going to the parades and festivals with friends. To feeding the birds at the lagoon. And walking the park during the wintertime. There were times I'd go to the park at night and look at the water. Think and reflect. I've seen photos of the park from 100 years ago. And for personal reasons,I'll always take Humboldt park over wicker park any day of the week.

[@Tracyj314]

Thank you for being such a positive connoisseur of our city! I always learn something new from your videos and get a ton of great places to check out with my wife. These days it can be hard to find people saying anything positive about Chicago, so your videos are like a breath of fresh air that reminds us of the beauty of our city. Much love and support to this channel ❤

[@LuisGustoComedy]

That’s a big part of the mission! We’re happy you’re enjoying the content 💯😎

[@Wally710]

Within the last month I've recently moved from Humboldt park, Chicago to the neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn & although it is NYC. I'm always reminded of how Chicago truly stands on it own as the great city it is, especially through videos as yours, excellent video once again!

[@vanessagaleano2834]

I love Humboldt Park! I only lived there for a few years the park is absolutely gorgeous! In the summer it has boat cars to rent, multiple people bikes, local boricuas sell elote, chicharrón, paletas etc. One of my favorite places in Chicago ❤️

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Well said!!

[@brucekrause6852]

I share your appreciation for Humboldt Park. I'm in my 70s now and still recall sledding down the hills on cold snowy winter days when I was a boy. Chicago is a great city

[@ashleywolford948]

Don’t forget about Chance the snapper lol 😂

[@traveljibaro9325]

Por fin!!! El barrio!!!! Boricua!!!

Wepa 🇵🇷

[@PatriciaOconnelllovepat]

My home for many years. The park itself is unbelievably beautiful! The entire area is so different now. What I remember is gone.

[@93djwilliamson]

I’m moving officially in November from Washington. I can’t wait!!

[@Johnnyrivera-azurdia27]

I used to pass there all the time on my way to a sports camp

[@ayaansajid6796]

Can you please do a neighborhood tour of the Printers row neighborhood, or "Little India" on West Devon Avenue in West Ridge Chicago

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Soon 😎

[@Samir-vg3mt]

Little India is a misappropriation…half of Devon is Pakistani, and there are a growing number of Bengali and other South Asian businesses. Calling this neighborhood Little India is disingenuous, or reserved for the same kind of people that call all Hispanic neighborhoods in Chicago Little Mexico. Let’s represent all cultures.

[@nelsonluke6007]

@@Samir-vg3mt all facts 💯

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

@@Samir-vg3mt same with a lot of areas called Chinatown when many residents are from other Asian countries

[@marcoperez6952]

I grew up there and owned a home on Whipple St. from 1962 to 2010. From my home. it was 50 yds from the park and 100 yds from the 606 bike path. Had to leave because property taxes went up 300%. I still miss the area and wish I could move back but that is now impossible. Pity.

[@MusicloverX88]

One of the reasons I’m considering moving here, I can get my boricua culture!

[@canesume2208]

Wowww. The L stop would’ve been nice esp with the congestion at Damen & Division.

[@knygaard100]

Loved the Humboldt Park tour - happy birthday Narissa!

[@thilbert17]

My favorite yet! Loved seeing your picks in Humboldt. Also I am gutted to find out there used to be a conservatory, that would be amazing today

[@rohoeszn]

Great video! I moved to Humboldt last year and love it.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Much appreciated!! Glad to hear

[@canesume2208]

Ayyee. I love Humboldt Park. Living across from the park is the best decision I could’ve made here.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

It’s a beautiful neighborhood with so much to offer

[@reverend408]

You brought back great memories of Humboldt Park and some new ideas for next visit. The Puerto Rican art museum will be a first stop and I hope it is on par with the Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen.

[@angelmorales6012]

Wow that museum looks great

[@LuisGustoComedy]

It's amazing 🇵🇷

[@Claudia-qe1rs]

Wepa! Ive been dying to see what this neighborhood is like! Gracias

Another beautiful neighborhood from the great City of Chicago! Grazie Mille! (Thanks a Million) Luis Gusto!!! Luis, could you do the Addison and Harlem Ave area next??? Little Italy 🇮🇹 where Bartucci’s Plaza’s

[@ChicagolandLiving]

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Sweet! There is so much to explore 😎

[@andrewwilliams1757]

Keep up the great work! Really loved the way you filmed and edited the video, looking forward to more neighborhood videos.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thanks so much Andrew!!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@brucekrause6852]

I visited Chicago last July to see the Riverwalk and walk the Lakefront Trail from Oak st. Beach along LSD to Buckingham fountain. A 3 day trip for walking and of course hot dog, pizza, italian beef, polish sausage on maxwell st.I love Chicago, live in NM now, but visit often.I grew up in Humboldt Park 50s and 60s, North and Pulaski. You make me almost book a trip. I miss the park.

[@davejefferynf]

An excellent tour, Luis.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thanks Dave!

[@JoseFlores-kl6jm]

Hey Luis you taught me a lot about the Humboldt Park community ! I will definitely visit this neighborhood when I get a chance.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Bro it’s a great area of the city!

[@katpyss]

Excellent video, Luis! I love how your videos look, the editing is nice and slick, and you (and your significant other) have a great ability of being in front of the camera. It’s a natural talent and it’s very cool to see your channel grow.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thanks so much Andrew 💯🙏🏼

[@bored_in_chicago]

Cafe Pachuca is amazing! Great lunch spot

[@PatTheDesigner]

KEEP KILLING IT MY BOY!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thanks bruh 💯

[@donguapo7862]

Great video very well put together. I don't think I was in that neighborhood but when I went to Chicago I made a special trip to ponce's Puerto Rican restaurant and I was amazing ill have to see the park next time I come to the chi. I'm glad you're highlighting the culture and positive aspects because being from out of town I only heard about the gangs in that area and to avoid it but I can't pass up on good Puerto Rican food lmao

[@juicy_plum7686]

Yo I literally go to school there, I like going to cafe Caloa when skip my first class

[@torowudang]

Saludos Luis desde Puerto Rico gracias por compartirlo,

[@rujainem]

Looking to move here from Miami, thanks for this video!

[@legerdemain]

Awesome as always. I'm over there a lot lately. Sadly, it's too cold to rent a swan boat with the other half and pedal around the lagoon.

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Yea, hopefully next year we can get some swan boat footage 🦢

[@Tomas-yy6ch]

Awesome stuff Luis. Would love to see an episode on Avondale or Albany park!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you! Appreciate the suggestions!!

[@ChicagolandLiving]

I agree! Wanna know more about Avondale and Albany

[@ThunderBroomPilot]

Just subscribed. Love your videos. Your camera work is great, and your positive enthusiasm really projects through the videos. I lived a few decades by Humboldt Park and Division, and did notice tons of changes--improvements over time. That bakery on Division where you had coffee and that sweet "roll," used to be a Ukrainian Bakery before. After your video, I am going to stop there. Learned a lot of history from this video. Will definitely visit the art museum, and maybe often. I am a member of the Art Institute of Chicago, annual pass. As you probably grew up here, love to see you put together super quality and fun videos. Keep up your wonderful creative work. Oh, you could have mentioned the Humboldt Health Hospital, which as you know was the Norwegian American Hospital until recently. Best of luck to you.

[@rolleone4me]

Definitely good eating .Cafe Colao, LA Buruguena,Papa's Cache, Borinquen Restaurant, Latin American...and obviously good big hearted people,with and incredibly rich culture...

[@genemcgarry457]

You're the best.

[@dahliagarcia3749]

Please! Please! Please! Could you make more videos of the Humboldt Park area, like you I grew up in the Humboldt Park 🏞️🇵🇷 area. I live in Texas now and I miss my childhood home and the best times there. I enjoy your videos very much! Many blessings and keep putting up more videos Please! ?

[@wilfredoechevarria3703]

SALUDOS LUIS COMO ESTAS?? YO SOY DE PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 VIVÍ EN BUFFALO NY POR 27 AÑOS Y AHORA VIVO EN ORLANDO FLORIDA. QUÉ MUCHOS DESEOS E TENIDO DE VISITAR A CHICAGO CUANDO ESTABA EN BUFFALO. CÓMO ME HUBIERA GUSTADO IR ALLÁ Y HASTA VIVIR ALLÁ EN CHICAGO. PERO A VECES UNO DESEA ALGO Y NUNCA LLEGA!! SALUDOS OTRA VEZ!!!!

Nice video 💯💯 Did you recently filmed it? The weather looks awesome for December ☺️

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you! We filmed this in early autumn

[@DanielleCherise]

My stomping grounds! Looking forward to this one! You gotta go to jimmy’s on North &Grand!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Jimmy's is a classic!

[@robertsantiago9952]

Grand and Pulaski

[@geedavia1785]

Jimmy's is on Grand & Pulaski... I spent many a days there. I moved out South to Beverly but get to Jimmy's several times a year. I was there last year(had) just got my car washed & splat! A *Flying* *Rat* *AKA* *Seagull* got me. Jimmys and Roeser's are 2-stoos whenever I'm back in the old hood...

[@TheOfficialDOP]

Jimmys is the spot 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheMidKing]

Happy Birthday!

[@LuisGustoComedy]

Thank you!

[@mattieb7899]

Hated that I didn't have enough time to go here on my first trip to Chicago, but I'm going next summer and taking the kids.

[@Humiliatusservus_Altissimo]

Hi Luis can you do Pilsen next

[@geedavia1785]

What's good Luis??? Man, I've lived all around that area... I spent many a day in That Park-playing Little League *almost* *got* *hit* *by* *lightening* to going to the Festivals in the summer to visiting my daughter who lives near the park now. Roeser's Bakery is where we Still get our birthday cakes from. *Remember* *Folks* Roeser's is closed on Mondays. You forgot to mention the tale of *Chance* *The* *Snapper* the *Baby* *Alligator* someone abandoned in the lagoon... I live all the way out in Beverly on the far Southside now but will be over that way for Xmas & my daughter & grandsons birthday on 12-31 & 1-13. *Happy* *Birthday* *Narissa* 🎂 Seeing the area makes me homesick for an Empanadas, Roeser's Bakery and Jimmy's on Pulaski and Grand. Gentrification has his the area almost as bad as it hit my old stomping grounds Wicker Park. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Luis👍🏿
