$7 for a Two-Hour Emergence of a Modern Metropolis Architectural Walking Tour (Up to $15 Value)

Guides walk up to 25 guests through the architectural evolution of Philadelphia from a Gilded Age workhorse to a global city, exploring the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts’ Victorian trappings, Wanamaker's cavernous commercial space, and the Comcast Center’s stratospheric atrium. Tours run every Saturday at 2 p.m. from December 1 through March 31 and every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 2 p.m. from April 1 through November 30. Ticket values vary by age.

Philadelphia Center for Architecture

Born out of the three core principles of public engagement, collaboration, and design excellence, the Philadelphia Center for Architecture stays true to its founding vision by connecting professionals and community leaders through activities ranging from exhibits and competitions to charitable functions and workshops. The center also reels in a wider audience with public walking tours scheduled in conjunction with the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, revealing the secrets of some of the city’s most notable buildings with the help of trained guides. As a chapter of AIA Philadelphia, the center also hosts public forums between architects and community members, promoting dialogue about the importance of sustainable neighborhoods and the need for public spaces dedicated entirely to sack races.

The Groupon Guide to: Washing Your Hands

In this sick, wet world, nothing is more important than washing your hands. Whether you've just used the bathroom or just touched a child's bacteria-laden face, here is what you'll need to do to regain your purity:

  • Turn on the hot-water faucet.
  • Get the soap out of the hermetically sealed safe where you keep it so humidity won't cause it to burst into suds.
  • Once the water is hot enough to kill (and cook) a bug, plug the sink so it fills up.
  • Drop the soap in the full sink to make soapy water, or "clean soup," as it's often called.
  • Submerge your fingers in the water one at a time in order of filthiness. Repeat until your fingers have soaked up all the water, leaving the sink completely dry.
  • If you ever forget what to do, just remember the childhood hand-washing rhyme: "My fingers, my fingers are drinking clean soup/ My heavens, my heavens, it hurts."

What are the ingredients in clean soup?
