Chicago's BEST Neighborhood - Ultimate West Loop Experience | Food & Things to Do Travel Guide

[@LuisGustoChicago]

What's good #GustoNation - the West Loop has been the MOST requested Chicago Neighborhood by far! What neighborhood should we visit next?

[@bridgetdraper5146]

Rogers Park... Including Devon

[@leot1403]

Andersonville has always been a fun Chicago neighborhood and recently ranked second on Time Out's "49 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World". Great eats like Lady Gregory, Calo's, A Taste of Heaven, Polygon Thai, Replay, and shops at Andersonville Galleria and antique stores, comic book stores never disappoint!

[@NoonieXO]

I'd definitely say boystown in my opinion haven't seen anyone comment that neighborhood at all.

[@jb7974]

I just subscribed, but have you done Hyde Park and Bronzeville?

Food tour please! Love your videos. I lived the first eighteen years of my life in Chicago. Moved to the east coast and now live in Atlanta. I’ve traveled to most States and I can say Chicago is my absolute favorite place in the US. Despite the cold winters, seriously considering moving back when I retire.

Just here to give props to Narisa's Bulls Hat, it's popping.

Word up, it was her Three Kings' Day present this year 🏀

[@JoseFlores-kl6jm]

Luis I knew that I loved the West Loop neighborhood for a reason. Please do a food tour of the West Loop neighborhood for a future video.

[@LuisGustoChicago]

It's definitely one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago!

[@stevenaguirre9326]

He’ll be there all year haha the food scene in that neighborhood is insane

[@EcLassEbony]

We’re ready

[@biancacolmenares620]

Love your videos, you are so gifted at sharing history, architecture, food and everything in such an easy to digest way. As an architect it is just amazing and impressive. Also, I would love to hear more about the First Nations history (and present) in the city! Things that even us native to the area never knew 🤦‍♀️ Thanks!

Just back from Chicago today after an amazing 5 nights with my husband. Stayed at the IC Mag Mile and really enjoyed exploring, despite friends concerns, never felt threatened or nervous. Cannot wait to go back again, only regret was not seeing this video about the BBQ joint before we left!!

[@whateverkimberly]

the editing continues to AMAZE me!! great video, i binge watch these when i need to clip my wallet and save, hoping to make the move to Chicago at the end of this year!

[@sandiberger]

Great video! Will be moving to The West Loop/Fulton Market District - 2024.

[@bridgetdraper5146]

I left Chicago when i was 18. The last place I lived was Rogers Park by Devon. I graduated from Saint Scholastica Academy which I do not think is open for students any longer. I haven't been back since 2000 i believe... I used to love eating at Gullivers, Greek places, Thai places, German, Italian, Hispanic, Polish, Chinese.... I dream about taking my massive family to enjoy whatever places that are still around like Calumet Fishieries... Go to a Cubs and or Sox game.... The beaches... My parents were married over 50yrs ago at Queen of All Saints Basilica ... God I am homesick! Thank God for your videos!!!!🍀

[@louisg6894]

Hi Luis, I'm so hooked on all of your shows. I was born and raised in the Logan Square/Humboldt Park neighborhood. I went to Carl Schultz High off Milwaukee and Addison. I'd like for you to do a video of my old high school. It's a national Landmark. The library is beautiful. I live in Florida since 86, but I still go up to visit and eat... eat and eat some more. I was so sad when you did the Logan Square area tour. Father and Sons Pizza closed. 😥 😥. I grew up eating there at least once a week. Thanks for your great videos. You're killing it with the history knowledge you and you girl drop. Luis Garrido - Go Cubs.

[@jb7974]

You guys are beautiful! Love your personalities…thanks for sharing and mentioning the indigenous people and the history lessons👏
