It was really cool to see Duluth through other people’s eyes. Having lived here all my life I know it’s a great place to live, but I feel even more lucky when others appreciate it’s beauty. Thanks so much for stopping and come back!

Thank you for giving Duluth the credit she deserves. She's an example of a very old city that is surviving the up's and down's of the economy. You two are soo cute! National Geographic should get in touch with you. The quality of your work is very high!!

After reading that comment that someone didn’t enjoy the food/eating portions of your vlogs, I just wanted to say that I LOVE the food part of all your vlogs! Just this year we have tried the Coffee Shack (Big Island), Root House (Pagosa Springs), Tacos del Gnar (Telluride) , Salt Lick (Austin) and probably a few others that I can’t remember at the moment. So… thank you for your food/ dessert recommendations and I can’t wait to try more!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! Food has always been a big part of our channel and always will be because for us, a huge part of why we travel is to experience both unique and local foods, as well as just eat in general! So happy you’ve tried those spots!

I cannot believe what a great job you two do finding all the local gems! I know I commented on an earlier video in your North Shore series that I spent the last couple years in Duluth, and got a ton of hiking & exploring the area in, but your videos have hit pretty much every one of the recommendations I have for people when they come up! So glad you're helping showcase our natural beauty here in MN, keep up the great work, and come back soon!

[@benwalker1876]

If you ever come back make sure to check out some of out hiking trails, I'm sure you did plenty on the North Shore but there's some wonderful ones in Duluth. If you like dirt biking we have a ton of those and it's a pretty common hobby among the locals. Many tourists are drawn to Canal Park and downtown but Duluthians tend to love our city for the nature and trails scattered throughout the city. Duluth is massive on local businesses so if you keep coming back over and over, you still won't be able to get the entirety of the Duluth feel. Some places for food you missed are The Portland Malt Shoppe which is a very very popular tourist destination off of the boardwalk where you can get some icecream. Sammy's Pizza has multiple locations throughout the midwest but over half of those locations are in the Duluth area. I'd highly recommend them as they have my favorite pizza and serve plenty of other Italian foods (not to mention that they also sell 1919 root beer.) 1919 root beer is just straight up the best root beer to ever be created. Its slowly becoming more and more common to buy but at one point you could only get it from specific restaurants in Minnesota. Nowadays you can run to a gas station in Minnesota or Wisconsin and buy a can of it and hopefully some day you'll be able to across the country.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We had hoped to visit some Nature around Duluth, but after the busy days on the north shore and busy days ahead we decided to give our bodies a break. But next time for sure!

[@lawrencewagner8685]

Regardless of weather, your vlogs are always fun and enlightening. Kudos for always featuring independent or local restaurants or fooderies (did I invent a word?). These establishments thrive on their creativity, consistency and reputations, reputations built and maintained over time. Running a successful restaurant of any kind is hard work. Don't forget that they need to succeed every time. Not 85% or 95% of the time. Every patron has their own experience. We can always count on you guys to find the unique and special places to chow down.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks Lawrence! I like the word fooderies, we shall make that an official word haha! And running a restaurant seems like one of the toughest jobs out there. We struggle a lot with people being unkind, overly critical, etc to us on KZbin and those in restaurants have to deal with that daily and often in person too. Happy to report that both of these spots were amazing, had great service, and you could tell both cared a lot about giving the customer a great experience!

[@bilahn1198]

You two are just the cutest couple ever! And I love how you learn so much about the place and your enthusiasm, not to mention the high production values. Duluth is very romantic in the fog but you must come back on a bright sparkling day. You won't believe how it looks! Be sure to visit Lester Park.You passed it when you 1st entered from the North Shore. Duluth has parks with beautiful waterfalls just like the North Shore and Lester is my favorite. Also on Park Point is a fantastic sandy beach. On the rare day that it is warm enough it is a great place to lay out. But no one goes in the water! By the way sometimes it can be in the eighties on the hill and in the fifties down near the lake in the middle of summer because of the lake breeze.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We bet it’s stunning in the sun! We ended up going to Park Point, but couldn’t see a dang thing haha, so it didn’t make the video. But we can see why it’s popular on a nice day!

That said, glad you didn’t let it dampen(yes I said it🤣) your spirits & still were able to give us such an informative & delightful & delicious tour of the Duluth area!👍🏼 Your outros always make me laugh!😂 You’ve peaked my curiosity of what awaits us when you visit Wisconsin!🤔 Until then …safe travels & hugs for Kona.🥰

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Gah we so wish we could’ve sent some of that drizzle that way! It turns out there are now some fires in Minnesota too 😫😭

[@bigjimslade6250]

Awesome video. It made me want to get off the couch & head straight to Duluth. The OMC Smokehouse was top notch. It seems to combine the best of Austin BBQ (hail Franklin) & Charleston SC with the side dishes like jalapeño grits & sweet potato casserole & corn salad. If I eat there, I’d probably stuff myself into a coma.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We will say, many BBQ spots have average sides, but OMC not only had amazing smoked meat, but the sides were SO good too!

[@BoydXplorer]

Amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing🙋

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for watching 🥰

[@stevekathyowens5491]

Guys!!! Long time subscriber here, just moved back to MN from Port Angeles,WA. Yes!! Cue up Storm King!!🤪 So proud when you conquered that Kathryn! Anyway… missed several of your posts because of moving. Hopped on to see where you guys are adventuring. Low and behold you are (we’re) once again in my backyard! 👍Totally agree with you on similarities of Seattle and Duluth! So glad you got to see some of my favorites. Artists Point, Gunflint, Enger Tower. Hard to leave PNW. But we will be wintering in AZ and Utah. So, we will be brushing up on those posts of your as well!! Happy Adventuring!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh man, Mount Storm King is my arch nemesis lol! Congrats on the move and your winter plans sound solid! Not sure we could handle a midwest Winter haha!

[@courtneykappel370]

The only thing I previously knew about Duluth was the awesomeness of Duluth Trading Co. so I really enjoyed this tour of the town. Great outtakes!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're so happy you enjoyed it! We had a great time in the city, even with the weather!

[@andrewmiller9810]

LOVE to see new faces enjoy my city!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Liveforpvm]

Awesome video guys!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks Nate! 😃

[@alexschult7636]

As a Duluthian and someone who works in Canal Park this was such a wonderful representation of our town!! Hope to see you guys next time at Flagship Apparel and Vikre Distillery when you come back!! ;D

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Duluth was such a treat! We wandered through Flagship Apparel…very neat shop! Thanks for watching!

[@JHA6100]

Love Duluth & you covered it well. We are returning there this summer and this wets my whistle!

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Adventurers😊😊, Ohhh WOW! That BBQ looked so really DAMN GOOD! The ice cream looked really good too. We love Duluth and the north shore and may revisit that area at some point. Can't wait to see some Wisconsin CHEESE! Great video👍👍👍👍.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Adam said it should be called OMG Barbecue 😂😜 And we have a pretty awesome cheese video coming next week!

[@petrafied99]

Rain!! That’s so great. We’re jealous. Greetings from the dry PNW.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was nice to see some rain! They now have fires that have closed the boundary waters up in MN, so they need more of it 😭

[@misisipimike8020]

Bummer that you didn’t get Duluth on a beautiful summer day. I moved here after 15 years in San Francisco\, and I have been very surprised of how much I’ve enjoyed it. You really need a few days in Duluth alone just to explore the trails, waterfalls, beaches, nightlife etc. . But thank you for highlighting Duluth and Northern Minnesota. Being new to the area myself I look forward to watching your other videos of the North Country for exploration tips.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was a bummer, but thankfully we like cloudy days too! We look forward to coming back to experience it again 😃

[@ceegesange9904]

The most famous and venerable restaurants in Duluth are the Pickwick (over a hundred years old, in a lavishly decorated building with hand-painted murals and carved wood); Sir Benedict's On The Lake (British-style place in a 1930s-era building); and Grandma's (in a 19th century building that used to be a bordello, now filled with old store signs from Duluth's history). The Radisson hotel downtown has a revolving restaurant on top that gives a panoramic view of the whole city while you eat (it only revolves slowly, don't worry).

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Those look yummy! Next time!

[@danaellis6802]

Kinda neat seeing my hometown through someone else's eyes.

[@elizabethhoover4672]

Aw! I was born and raised in the Twin Cities and Duluth/ the North Shore was a common vacation spot. Loved seeing this video and love your channel!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Jim-qc4nb]

If you come back make sure to go back to OMC and get the loaded mac n cheese. It is insane. Great video. I live in Duluth and can't imagine life anywhere else. I've traveled everywhere and this is where I belong. Thank you.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We totally will! And thanks so much for watching!

[@craiguglandrealty3705]

Coming from a frequenter of the North Shore, Rustic Inn for the win! Caramelled Apple Pecan Pie and Wild Rice Meatloaf, best ever!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Sounds delish!

[@nomadicnewbie]

Funny you mention a comparison to Seattle. I have said before we are like the Seattle of the Midwest. The whole state from the Twin Cities up has that vibe with all the rain and overcast days.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

So glad we aren’t alone in this! I asked some locals as well and they confirmed it too! It was hard to explain, but it really made us feel like we were back there and it’s our favorite place, so it’s a huge compliment!

[@judyw2827]

The animal noises! 🤣🤣🤣 The pig sounded like a snore but the chicken sounded really authentic.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

He really nailed the chicken sound! 🐔

[@TWLML420]

I live in Duluth. It's unfortunate you didn't get to experience Canal Park on a beautiful sunny day. Also, the Maritime Museum is one of my favorite places!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

More reason to come back, right?! Still a great time!

[@no3ll3.]

I'm excited to see what you guys do in Wisconsin, I can't wait to go back. Minnesota & northern Wisconsin are both stunning and unexpected, I didn't know how beautiful everything was on Lake Superior & the north country. I was in Ashland & Bayfield about 2 weeks ago, we picked a bunch of blueberries and made jam & syrup from them. If you find yourself in Ashland, you should check out Black Cat Coffeehouse & the Ashland Baking Co across the street (amazing cinnamon rolls/sticky buns), the artesian spring water well, or take a ferry over to Madeline Island. We drove through Duluth, and made our way up to Voyageurs National Park for the Perseid meteor shower. Unfortunately, it was cool and cloudy so we decided not to stay. But the park is stunning and there is so much wildlife, Rainy Lake is a really nice little town. We're planning a trip for next summer, we're going to rent a houseboat for a few days on the lake to get some quality nature time.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We had a great time in Wisconsin! We saw some pretty places and had some unique (to us) experiences! Can't wait to share what we did. We hope to make it to Voyageurs in the future without the van and Kona with us so we can explore it properly!

[@lbonnema]

That was a really great review of Duluth and I live here.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! That means a lot coming from a local!

[@rickyalvarado5064]

This Texas boy really appreciates how yall properly pronounce y'all's food! Lol but this video is absolutely fulfilling and well done ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much Ricky! 🤠

[@devonthemaskeddevonaire9471]

[@stephenkaake7016]

[@AdventuresofAplusK]
