We arent rated one of the fattest cities for nothin. Escape the heat, hit the tunnels and get whatever grub your heart desires. Honestly, great selection, good people watching and good seating at the Park Shops.

The "tunnels" sounds a lot cooler than it actually is. Yes, Houston does have a system of using underground walkways to get from one building to the next, and there are scattered shops throughout..but this is definitely NOT a tourist attraction.
This is just Houston avoiding its own downtown! What's down there? Walkways and shops!! Why put them underground? Because it's hot? Grow up kids! Of the Houston residents i know, none had ever visited the tunnels. Clearly they are used by the working stiffs who commute into the business and banking high rises downtown and by tourists, but if these...
