i was thinking the same. I found some good Argentine restaurants

[@tamhuynh1905]

I lived in Houston for 20 years and I learned a bunch of new things this episode, very cool.

[@TheDaytripper]

That's a great compliment.

[@lscolwell]

Me, too! I am over 60 and have lived in the Houston area for most of my life and I never heard of most of this stuff!

[@julieyoung3815]

I live in Houston too . I came in 2008 .

[@ashleynbjohnson7623]

Me too now I need tours

[@Nami]

Same. I was born and raised here and have lived here for almost 40 years. I knew about things like the downtown tunnels and the cistern, but I had no idea there was a crypt under the old city.

[@_Delio]

I gotta give you props for showing love to 5th ward & 3rd ward.

[@JoeVargas84]

I currently live in Houston and I don’t see myself living anywhere else. Despite the horrible summer temps, I love this city. While you may have only toured the tip of the ice berg of Houston, there is a lot more to do and see here. Glad you made the trip but don’t be a stranger. Come back soon!

[@julieyoung3815]

I lived in Houston since 2008 . I never want to leave either. 😊

[@JoeVargas84]

@@julieyoung3815 I moved here around that time too 🙂

[@Livingforgiven]

I've been a Houstonian for 15 years and these are all backyard bucket lists for me. Always wanted to do the cistern and the underground shopping center. There are so many unique, quirky things to do here. I always appreciate learning about these small, family run restaurants too. I can't wait to check them out.

[@JayOgle]

I've lived in Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Frisco, Tampa, and a few other places being an airline employee. What I I've noticed about downtown Houston is its extremely clean, no trash, very limited graffiti but walking down the street we watched a crew cleaning and power washing a side street brick wall, what a nice experience for a "down town" area take note big cities.

[@katherinelane299]

I lived in Houston for many years and was never aware of all I missed. Thanks Day Tripper. Loved it!

[@TheDaytripper]

That's a huge compliment. Thank you!

[@mariohernandez645]

Lifelong Houstonian here1 Never knew about the Buffalo Bayou tour and the cistern. Fifth Ward has always been associated with the high crime, but you have opened my eyes to a whole new world here. I will definitely try and visit The Nickel on my lunch break.

[@adsr5863]

I really appreciate you shining light on 5th ward. Some of the nicest people and biggest sense of community there!

[@gabrielcanepa4706]

Im h-town born and raised but why does this British dude know more about houston than me 😭😭

[@rosamartinez5468]

Lol

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

I feel the same way. From 5th Ward, but never heard about that bubble in the water.

[@candysmith8724]

I was thinking the same thing! lol

[@ridonculous9068]

He British?

[@YukonGhibli]

This was a great episode! I love Houston for the diversity and food. Literally every type of food on planet earth, so good. And a ton of Texas history in the metro. San Jacinto, first Anglo settlements in Fort Bend County. First Flag in Montgomery County. Washington-on-the-Brazos just up the road. Even the former Embassy of the USA to Texas near the current Rice Hotel. Great stuff

[@jaydenmathews2221]

I don’t know how this video isn’t bigger! the production is amazing!

[@chelseajordan5752]

Great episode to showcase Houston's diversity!! I teach in the 5th Ward and it deserves more love and recognition.

[@Antonjlavey]

You want them to get robbed 😅

[@Cookiepea86]

I’m a Houstonian and so happy you explored the diversity of the city! Please visit more ethnic communities of Houston.

[@JawnNawva]

Houston is non-stop surprises. Thank y’all for your work, great production value too!!!

[@jamiemcqueen3543]

We ate at the Nickle Today, because of this video. Good Food, never would have known. Thanks

[@Kschieff]

I love Houston and moved here from the East Coast 8 years ago. This is a very special city - and beats Austin and Dallas for food and the arts! And you will always meet interesting and fine people in this wonderfully friendly and diverse city. Best city in Texas - and suburbs are great too!

[@twistedconversations782]

I'm 36 years old born and raised in Houston. I also drive for Uber for the past 6 years full time. I still haven't seen all of my own city. I see not just new development but old neighborhoods I've never heard of all the time.

[@keefers84]

Awesome video. You did a great job showing the diversity and uniqueness of Houston.

Thanks for coming to my city and showing me places I didn't even know about 😆. I live only 7 minutes from the Nickel Sandwich Grill but I knew nothing about it. I'm gonna get over there this week for lunch!

I've lived in Houston for all my years and recently learned about the cistern. I've never been in the tunnels below downtown - looks fun. The Nickel looks delicious

I've lived in Houston for 43 years and don't know about most of this stuff. The last time I had a rec trip downtown I was still in school. If it's not court or medical related I don't make it a habit of driving downtown.

I moved away from Houston 18 months ago and it was a treat to see my beloved city. After 18 years, it was hard to leave but I look forward to return visits.

[@celebratedfamilycards1802]

My favorite coffee and donut restaurant used to have a location in the “tunnels” in downtown. It was called Crescent City Beignets and they were amazing. Truly missed. Great episode!

Walking ground level anywhere around here from about 11am to 5pm is terrible, thank goodness for those tunnels. At night when it's not as hot anymore though, downtown is more active

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

OMG! I've been in HTX for years and the only places that I have frequented were "the Tunnels" and Himalaya. Thank you for the eye opening episode about my beloved city. Can I just say that orange jumpsuit segment was a little troubling? 🧡🤣🤣🤣🧡

For years I would watch his show on PBS, and it's great that he visited my city. Fifth Ward born, and hope that more people will tell the history of one of the oldest African American Communities. Also, I hope that visits Freedmen Town which is over by W. Dallas. ❤

[@danielspoerle9657]

Funny to keep hearing people say there are 2 million of people in Houston. That is the official count of people inside the inner loop (610). Few people live there compared to outside the loop. There are approximately 8 million in Houston if you include the other two freeway loops.

[@annaluckenbach9725]

Loved this episode! Aside from Nickle Sandwich, I've been to all on this episode! I could see from the tunnel shots that this filmed pre-Covid. Then they showed the Bubble - that was taken out by Harvey (Aug 2017)! (I haven't checked in the past year...maybe it was finally fixed??)

[@jongupguppie7413]

I went to a tunnel once and it was very empty, never gone back, is it actually like this now?

[@annaluckenbach9725]

@@jongupguppie7413 During lunchtime it's got a pretty good crowd. Monday-Thursday is more than Friday as a lot of people are off Fridays. It's not a crowded as before Covid, but doing well.

Spent a lot of time in the tunnels as a kid. My Father was the trainer for the Houston Rockets and the tunnels ran by the Old Summit.

[@chickensandwich3398]

The host made a lot of comparisons to Mexican cuisine and I agree. I've thought for a long time that Mexican and Indian cuisine have quite a bit in common: tortillas are called chapati, salsa is chutney, replace crema for yogurt, spiced rice dishes, swap the pintos for lentils and chickpeas, are just a few that come to mind. It would be neat if one of those channels that do videos about "________ people try ___________ food" would do a cross episode of Indian people trying Mexican food and/or Mexican people trying Indian food.

[@cwize]

When I first moved here in ‘94, I thought I was being pranked when people mentioned the tunnels. Like a snipe hunt. I mean… who would dig tunnels in a swamp? But… they are definitely there.

The Houston metro area is 6.7 million people in 2023. Houston the city is surrounded by suburb cities that are independent towns but still part of the metro area - just like Los Angeles doesn't including Hollywood, Brentwood, Glendale but those are part of central LA metro. .

As an uber driver in houston, the two places I always suggest people eat at - Preslee's in the heights, and Genji's in west houston at Westheimer/Wilcrest. Preslee's has the best chicken fried steak in town and their green beans are to die for, and Genji has the best Japanese Katsu Curry hands down. Not even close.
