I really enjoyed this vlog! I'm def planning a trip soon now !! Your editing and story telling skills are great. *new sub

[@SaysSimone]

thank you!! I appreciate it!

[@dancedj2k2]

Next time you go to Chicago, Hit Navy Pier, North Pier, and Merchandise Mart for original shopping experience. Deep Dish Pizza is EXCELLENT, try Connie's next time.

[@SaysSimone]

I will try the Piers and the Merchandise Mart next time. But I’ll have to sit this one out when it comes to the pizza.. my skin will thank me for that!

[@123ALERA]

Next time swing by the huge apple store. The store was close to wildberry and river walk

[@SaysSimone]

I seen it.. but next time I should go in!

[@stacyb6461]

Absolutely love Chicago. Went for the first time in July. I missed the roastery so I need do that next.
I’m going back in December and braving the cold. I need to add the 360 deck and the art museum. Indoor stuff lol
The architecture tour is a must (in the summer)
Wild berry is phenomenal but you need to get up right at opening time lol

[@SaysSimone]

The Roastery is just cool to see!
I definitely want to do more museums the next time I visit!
And I’ll have to keep that in mind about the Wildberry next time lol! 🤣

[@123ALERA]

Wild berry is always packed, the food is good but mannnnn that line😢

[@SaysSimone]

That line is more like a crowd lol! Plus they don’t do text message updates or anything

[@nesnonluechar1737]

Am going next month for Vegandale and was wondering is there a hotel you would recommend in decent distance to Grant Park?

[@keion726]

I loved your blog !

[@SaysSimone]

Thank you!

[@darneljames3522]

Definitely one of my favorite cities

[@SaysSimone]

Mine too!

[@SaysSimone]

If you’ve been to Chicago… what’s your fav pizza place?

[@stacyb6461]

Pequods. Giordanos is not bad either. I’m from New York though so I’m not a fan

[@SaysSimone]

I’ve seen both of those places on tik tok.. maybe next time I visit Chicago I’ll check them out
