Afterward, groups head into a tunnel system leading to the 1929 Chase Building. Additional stops include a stained-glass window depicting the Battle of San Jacinto in the Chase Building, Houston City Hall's visitors' center, an underground food court for a bite, and Pennzoil Place.

Houston Urban Adventures

When Sandra Lord first visited Houston in 1984, she only planned to stay a month. But the city's diverse community, rich history, and distinctive architecture quickly lured her in, and nearly 30 years later, the cheerful history buff still resides in the Emerald City. Today, she partners with Urban Adventures—an international touring company—to share her love of the city through exciting and informative walking tours of Houston’s underground tunnel system and historical local pubs. Locals have nicknamed Sandra “The Tunnel Lady,” as she was one of the first guides to introduce tourists to the city’s subterranean system of shops and restaurants, originally constructed to shield commuters from the hot Houston sun and the stray hacky-sacks of med students on study breaks.

The Groupon Guide to: Action-Movie Quips

It’s easy to be the star of an action movie—simply remember to drop one of these perfectly timed quips after performing any of their corresponding actions:

  • If you hit someone with a stick:  STICK around … for more violence.

  • If you hit someone with a chair:  How CHAIR-itable of me.

  • If you shoot someone with an experimental ice ray:  Why don’t you CHILL out for a while and watch The Big CHILL on VHS?

  • After a marriage proposal:  Mrs. [new last name] does have a nice RING to it.

  • If you accidentally punch the wrong guy:  Looks like my negligence is … STRIKING.

  • If you set someone on fire:  Welcome to “BEING ON FIRE.”

How can you become as cool as a Hollywood action hero?
