chicago: the vlogs.
This summer, I traded my usual NYC backdrop for a new adventure: a trip to Chicago. And of course, I brought you with me. My Chicago vlog series on YouTube is now live, and it’s packed with all the city magic — iconic landmarks, hidden gems, incredible food, and those little cozy travel moments that make a trip unforgettable.
If you’re planning a trip soon or just curious about things to do in Chicago in 2025, these vlogs are for you.
Things to Do in Chicago (Featured in My Vlogs!)
✨ Skydeck Chicago at Willis Tower
The Skydeck is a must-visit. Standing on The Ledge — clear glass balconies 1,353 feet in the air — is a thrill you can’t miss.
☕ Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago
This is the largest Starbucks in the world. Think multi-level coffee experiences, specialty drinks, and interiors you’ll want to see for yourself.
🛥️ Wendella Architecture Boat Tour
One of the best ways to learn about the city. You’ll get stunning views of Chicago’s skyline while hearing stories about its history and world-famous buildings.
🎡 Navy Pier & Centennial Wheel
A Chicago classic. I filmed the pier at night, complete with fireworks and the energy that makes this spot a local and tourist favorite.
🍕 Lou Malnati’s Deep-Dish Pizza
You can’t do a Chicago trip without deep dish, and Lou Malnati’s lives up to the hype.
🍔 The Dearborn Restaurant
Perfect for dinner after a full day of exploring. Definitely one of my favorites.
🍦 Original Rainbow Cone
Colorful, nostalgic, and a Chicago staple.
⚾ Wrigley Field Tour
Even if you’re not a sports fan, this is history worth experiencing. My vlog shows exactly why this ballpark is iconic.
🛍️ Shopping & Hidden Finds
From Hero Coffee to a vintage camera shop, to Primark and Gap Factory for a chill shopping day, I captured the balance of adventure and downtime.

Last year, I shared my first Chicago adventure (you can read that post here), and I couldn’t wait to return. This time, I had five full days to dive deeper into the city’s landmarks, food, and hidden gems. From SkyDeck thrills to concerts, architecture tours, and Wrigley Field, here’s how it all unfolded.
