Secrets of the Galleria
Secrets of the Galleria <p class="p1">The Secrets of the Galleria: From hidden tennis courts to redundant Sunglass Huts to free hand massages, we give you an unparalleled tour of the mall that’s more than a mall—all 3,000,000 square feet of the place. Plus: We let strange men plunge us underwater, navigate the city by smell, and find you H-town’s very best lawyers. </p>
