Starters from chef Frank Mnuk's <a href="http://gr.pn/wQtXnu">menu</a> of contemporary French-American cuisine take center stage on the eatery's white linen tablecloths: puff pastry envelops braised Bourgogne snails and garlic butter to become escargot Francois ($14), and celery root foam joins golden raisin jus to collage a plate of scallops and sweet blue prawns ($18). For the main course, foie gras ($18) can be chosen to accompany a lean, tender cut of filet mignon ($40), and fennel salad can chaperone duck a l'orange ($36) to the table.

Diners may rouse their palates or calibrate their utensil-holding form with starters such as a spicy octopus salad with vinaigrette dressing ($13) or a warm plate featuring sautéed scallops, soba gnocchi, and a celery-root parmesan foam ($14). Larger dishes include roasted Indiana duck breast, served with baby turnips and a green-bean salad ($29), and a clay pot filled with Amish chicken, shimeji mushrooms, eggplant, and yuzu juice ($26). Sweet teeth blissfully burrow into pumpkin pine-nut cake, crafted with pumpkin seeds, butterscotch, currants, and cream-cheese ice cream ($8), or any other dessert selection. Patrons can opt for the chef's tasting menu, during which servers bring out five succulent courses, each paired with a flavor-enhancing wine or perfume ads culled from fashion magazines. </p> <p>Along with ingredients sourced from places including Maine, Japan, Australia, and Mars, chefs create their comestibles with sustainably fished seafood and local produce whenever possible. Takashi's natural lighting illuminates a cleanly decorated dining area that features hardwood floors, by glossed gray brick walls, and slanted ceilings reminiscent of a lofted apartment. </p> <p><em>Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Takashi a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.</em></p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to Everyman’s Classics: Animal Farm</p><p>Is a society run by animals doomed to fail/be hilarious? </p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/takashi-restaurant-2">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6gqLJtNnbrs:e3enrvUB9fQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6gqLJtNnbrs:e3enrvUB9fQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6gqLJtNnbrs:e3enrvUB9fQ:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=6gqLJtNnbrs:e3enrvUB9fQ:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6gqLJtNnbrs:e3enrvUB9fQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=6gqLJtNnbrs:e3enrvUB9fQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/6gqLJtNnbrs" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/6gqLJtNnbrs/takashi-restaurant-2 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/takashi-restaurant-2 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:00:56 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/takashi-restaurant-2 <img align="right" alt="$29 for a Home Teeth-Whitening Kit from Premium Home Whitening ($158 Value)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1996/8843/Premium-Home-Whitening2.jpg" width="120" /><p>Like choosing paint swatches with an impatient spouse, teeth whitening replaces pale pistachio, bavarian cream, and summer peach with simple buckets of white.

After a quick brush and floss, patrons drop their mold-and-bite trays into heated water until the plastic becomes as pliable as the lasagna noodles floating beneath them. Ductile tooth helmets press against the upper and lower ridges, custom molding to enamel outlines. After a conservative squirting of USA-made carbamide-peroxide gel, patients insert their impressions into the mouth while clutching the micro LED light between their lips. Sessions last about 30–60 minutes, depending on tooth tolerance, and should take place once or twice daily while watching TV, reading a book, or challenging the cat to competitive staring contests. Gel supplies furnish about seven to nine treatments.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/premium-home-whitening-chicago">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6644ZB6s8tg:JHMel_vPZfo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6644ZB6s8tg:JHMel_vPZfo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6644ZB6s8tg:JHMel_vPZfo:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=6644ZB6s8tg:JHMel_vPZfo:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=6644ZB6s8tg:JHMel_vPZfo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=6644ZB6s8tg:JHMel_vPZfo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/6644ZB6s8tg" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/6644ZB6s8tg/premium-home-whitening-chicago http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/premium-home-whitening-chicago Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:21 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/premium-home-whitening-chicago <img align="right" alt="$10 for $20 Worth of Dinner at Pepe's Mexican Restaurant in Countryside.

London punk-folk revelers <a href="http://www.skinnylister.com">Skinny Lister</a> start the show with a rollicking round of sun-kissed anthems and heave-ho-ing shanties. </p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-rusted-root-shop-class">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=aNpmiIPiz2M:P7rTs3-fN4Q:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=aNpmiIPiz2M:P7rTs3-fN4Q:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=aNpmiIPiz2M:P7rTs3-fN4Q:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=aNpmiIPiz2M:P7rTs3-fN4Q:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=aNpmiIPiz2M:P7rTs3-fN4Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=aNpmiIPiz2M:P7rTs3-fN4Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/aNpmiIPiz2M" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/aNpmiIPiz2M/gl-rusted-root-shop-class http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/gl-rusted-root-shop-class Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:19 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/gl-rusted-root-shop-class <img align="right" alt="$15 for Theater Outing with Two Drinks to Teatro Luna's &quot;Crossed&quot; at Luna Central (Up to $33 Value). 10 Shows Available." src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1993/7233/Teatro-Luna_Crossed-2.jpg" width="120" /><p>Art has long influenced politics, from Thomas Nast using his editorial cartoons to take down Boss Tweed to the <em>Mona Lisa</em> spurring parliament to ban full smiles.

Like a good math teacher, the cast serves up the scenes’ thought-provoking problems with a healthy portion of humor, curiosity, and song and dance, forming an extravaganza that received a "Recommended" stamp from the <a href="http://gr.pn/xoKDCz"><em>Chicago Reader</em></a>. Audiences can slake their thirst in between laughs and dramatic gasps with two zesty refreshments culled from a drink menu that includes virgin pear sangria, sparkling juice, or a champagne cocktail.</p> <p><em>Though Teatro Luna holds a lottery for discounted $15 tickets before each show, this Groupon is still the best deal for most</em>.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-teatro-luna-1">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=MNf5KSuJYnI:rPGy19X_S7M:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=MNf5KSuJYnI:rPGy19X_S7M:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=MNf5KSuJYnI:rPGy19X_S7M:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=MNf5KSuJYnI:rPGy19X_S7M:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=MNf5KSuJYnI:rPGy19X_S7M:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=MNf5KSuJYnI:rPGy19X_S7M:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/MNf5KSuJYnI" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/MNf5KSuJYnI/gl-teatro-luna-1 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/gl-teatro-luna-1 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:17 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/gl-teatro-luna-1 <img align="right" alt="$49 for a Three-Hour Composition in the Field Photography Workshop from Digital Photo Academy ($99 Value)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1995/4244/Digital-Photo-Academy-2-jpg.jpg" width="120" /><p>Photographers swiftly capture what sluggish painters cannot, such as the sparkle of a fleeting smile, the identity of a media-shy superhero, or the split second a peregrine falcon breaks the sound barrier.

During the photofacial, staff guides the laser's hand-piece over the skin to administer pulses of broadband light that gently heat the upper layers of cells and grab the attention of kitten tattoos. The thermal energy specifically targets rosacea, uneven pigmentation, and broken blood vessels. Photofacial therapy can result in temporary redness that subsides within a few hours. </p> <p>Purity adjusts the profractional facial to help clients to combat sun damage, age spots, fine lines, or acne scars. Microbeams of laser energy penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis to stimulate collagen-making factories and create a smoother surface with minimal downtime and no rawness on the outer layer of skin. Like tracking rainbows for gold, several visits may be needed to see desired results for either treatment.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/purity-medispa-chicago">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=ES0rZuyesTA:j6b76yi_XfQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=ES0rZuyesTA:j6b76yi_XfQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=ES0rZuyesTA:j6b76yi_XfQ:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=ES0rZuyesTA:j6b76yi_XfQ:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=ES0rZuyesTA:j6b76yi_XfQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=ES0rZuyesTA:j6b76yi_XfQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/ES0rZuyesTA" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/ES0rZuyesTA/purity-medispa-chicago http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/purity-medispa-chicago Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:16 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/purity-medispa-chicago <img align="right" alt="Nuts and Bolts, Speed Dating, or BlackJack Singles Event for One, Two, or Four from Mingle Around (Up to 61% Off)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1994/8919/Mingle-Around.jpg" width="120" /><p>Singles events let people avoid the awkward profile pictures and the mastery of binary pick-up lines required to date on the Internet.

A pair of vintage reed organs also joins the Society's lineup, with an 1884 Mason and Hamlin accompanying the performance in LaGrange and a Story and Clark organ backing the performance in Naperville. The Sunday matinee unfolds in a 13,000-square-foot concert hall designed by the Talaske Group, which perfected the acoustics at Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion. Here, sound ricochets off of two massive chambers and motorized curtains designed to help tune concerts, filling up to 1,210 ears and 650 trick-or-treat baskets with crisp, delicious melodies.</p> <p><em>Though Downers Grove Choral Society offers discounted tickets for students and seniors, this Groupon still offers the best deal available for most concertgoers.</em></p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-petite-messe-solennellle-dgcs">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=dYpJN_ZhAbE:iK5iqqIi8qM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=dYpJN_ZhAbE:iK5iqqIi8qM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=dYpJN_ZhAbE:iK5iqqIi8qM:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=dYpJN_ZhAbE:iK5iqqIi8qM:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=dYpJN_ZhAbE:iK5iqqIi8qM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=dYpJN_ZhAbE:iK5iqqIi8qM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/dYpJN_ZhAbE" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/dYpJN_ZhAbE/gl-petite-messe-solennellle-dgcs http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/gl-petite-messe-solennellle-dgcs Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:01:04 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/gl-petite-messe-solennellle-dgcs <img align="right" alt="$99 for a Spa Package with Herbal Massage and Vitamin Facial at Sasha G Salon &amp; Spa in Wheeling (Up to $210 Value)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1990/1472/Sasha-G-Salon-and-Spa.jpg" width="120" /><p>Relaxing on a beach can be unexpectedly difficult due to the dangers of UV rays and the limited shade cast by drink umbrellas.

The <a href="http://gr.pn/vJ6cdv">procedure</a> works through the placement of paddles containing 36 diodes, each emitting laser energy up to 5/8 of an inch deep or until hitting bedrock. Combined with a vacuum massage action, the laser energy opens pores in fat cells’ walls and causes them to expunge their lipids. The cells then shrink, leaving the body to eliminate the free-floating fat through normal lymphatic processes. Additionally, i-Lipo’s infrared waves may tighten skin to a bulletproof smoothness by stimulating collagen production and boosting circulation. </p> <p>Patients can lose up to 1 inch of bodily circumference during each approximately 20-minute session, which requires no anesthesia and typically imparts minimal to no discomfort or downtime.

A softening serum preps cuticles before they’re shorn short, and extremities receive a healthy dose of lotion followed by a tension-erasing massage. The pedicure includes an exfoliation to slough away flaky skin and soften calluses, as well as a razor, on request, to combat particularly stubborn patches or preternaturally hairy feet.

The Venus system uses both bipolar radio frequency and magnetic pulses to invigorate the growth of new blood vessels and more effectively transport nutrients to the skin via microscopic Spiderman lunchboxes. The laser light also induces collagen and elastin production, which can reduce the appearance of lines and other signs of aging while leaving skin more toned and resilient. </p> <p>Skin-tightening treatments can relieve the face or body of sagging skin stemming from weight loss or long naps in a wind tunnel, along with softening fine lines. To turn back countenance clocks, anti-aging sessions tauten the skin of facial areas, helping to keeping them firm and supple with a refreshing boost of collagen. Alternatively, skin furrows in the face, neck, and hands bow down under wrinkle-reduction treatments, which can smooth crinkled body coverings for up to two years. Though some patients notice results after the first treatment, 6–8 are recommended for optimal results. The first 100 clients who present their Groupons at AmeriLaser Center will receive an additional 25% discount on the packages purchased.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Office Icebreakers</p><p>Is lack of self-confidence contagious? </p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/amerilaser-center">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=605Ch0ZxayQ:R5OH9Jl6G7A:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=605Ch0ZxayQ:R5OH9Jl6G7A:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=605Ch0ZxayQ:R5OH9Jl6G7A:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=605Ch0ZxayQ:R5OH9Jl6G7A:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=605Ch0ZxayQ:R5OH9Jl6G7A:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=605Ch0ZxayQ:R5OH9Jl6G7A:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/605Ch0ZxayQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/605Ch0ZxayQ/amerilaser-center http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/amerilaser-center Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:00:51 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/amerilaser-center <img align="right" alt="Outing to See The Peking Acrobats or Concert Outing to See Lorna Luft at Paramount Theatre in Aurora (Up to 57% Off)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1992/0515/Paramount-Theatre-Chicago2-Songs_My_Mother_Taught_Me.jpg" width="120" /><p>Acrobats are well-known for performing gravity-defying stunts previously thought impossible, such as making skyscraper-window washing look fun.

A short drive away from idyllic lighthouses and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the inn and its fine-dining restaurant represent an easy romantic getaway to escape the city's frenetic pace. </p> <p>Inside, 13 furnished guest rooms each come decorated in a distinctive style. Fireplaces flicker inside some rooms, while others feature french doors and private terraces overlooking the surrounding forest.

The outdoor patio is particularly inviting on a warm summer night, and the indoor dining room with a fireplace keeps diners warm on a chilly evening. The restaurant is open for dinner Wednesday–Saturday.</p> <h4>Michigan City, Indiana: Lighthouses and Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan’s Southeastern Shore</h4> <p>Three lighthouses anchor the shoreline of Michigan City—each used to be instrumental in guiding ships safely to port.

The dunes attract visitors year round for its fishing, hiking, and birdwatching, a specialty for the 350 migratory species in the area.

Customers can release stress and soreness while suspended in 10 inches of water infused with Epsom salt inside the <a href="http://www.stressreliefcenter.com/Services/Floatation_Tank.html">floatation tank</a>. The water is heated to body temperature to render its presence almost undetectable to suspended patrons and to deter snuggly polar bears. Slightly larger than a twin bed, the tank features a door that can be closed to preserve privacy, allowing guests to clear their minds during one hour of tranquil floating.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.stressreliefcenter.com/Services/FIR_Sauna.html">FIR sauna</a> blasts bodies with heat from far-infrared light in order to improve circulation, promote healing, boost metabolism, and stimulate cellular renewal. Wrapped in a cloth cover embedded with silver, guests bask in the reflected beams of light that bounce throughout the treatment room during a session that’s as revitalizing as a steaming coffee shower.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to Everyman’s Classics: Animal Farm</p><p>Is a society run by animals doomed to fail/be hilarious? </p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/the-chicago-stress-relief-center-3">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=yQwmsWqeSQA:jLhZ9IcAUtk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=yQwmsWqeSQA:jLhZ9IcAUtk:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=yQwmsWqeSQA:jLhZ9IcAUtk:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=yQwmsWqeSQA:jLhZ9IcAUtk:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=yQwmsWqeSQA:jLhZ9IcAUtk:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=yQwmsWqeSQA:jLhZ9IcAUtk:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/yQwmsWqeSQA" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/yQwmsWqeSQA/the-chicago-stress-relief-center-3 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/the-chicago-stress-relief-center-3 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:00:56 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/the-chicago-stress-relief-center-3 <img align="right" alt="$48 for a Haircut, Style, and Kérastase Intensive Hydrating Mask at J.

Stay on the cutting edge of winter fun with today's Groupon to <a href="http://www.ragingbuffalo.com/">Raging Buffalo Snowboard Ski Park</a> in Dundee. Choose between the following options:</p> <ul> <li><p>For $49, you get a riding package (up to a $165.50 total value) that includes the following: </p> <ul> <li>Snowboard rental (up to a $45 value)</li> <li>An all-day lift ticket for any day of the week (up to a $45 value)</li> <li>A one-hour semiprivate lesson, which may be taken on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday (a $37.50 value)</li> <li>A second lift ticket for an entire day on a weekday or half a day on a weekend (up to a $38 value)<p></li> </ul></li> <li><p>For $22, you get an all-day ski or snowboard lift ticket for any day of the week (up to a $45 value).<p></p></li> </ul> <p>Formerly snowboarder-exclusive but now also open to skiers, Raging Buffalo Snowboard Ski Park's strictly terrain layout challenges riders of all skill levels to hone their tricks. An all-day or half-day <a href="http://gr.pn/tNgoas">lift ticket</a> nets snow-goers full access to a repertoire of halfpipes, rails, and tabletops for stringing together a series of backflips or knitting a scarf during a tail grab. The terrain changes multiple times throughout the season. Patrons can click <a href="http://gr.pn/uaZd9a">here</a> for an idea of past park layouts. Beginning boarders combine lift tickets with snowboard rentals and semiprivate <a href="http://gr.pn/uDZqvA">lessons</a>. All ages and abilities grab a rental snowboard with step-in bindings, boots, and a helmet from the front counter before reporting to the mountain. During the one-hour lesson, slope-savvy instructors instill two students with such snowboarding fundamentals as carving, stopping, and outrunning sentient snowmen.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Urban Murals</p><p>Are music notes a form of orthodontia?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-ghd-raging-buffalo">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=jV1ZfXa8X4I:J6lHmBqSz8E:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=jV1ZfXa8X4I:J6lHmBqSz8E:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=jV1ZfXa8X4I:J6lHmBqSz8E:KwTdNBX3Jqk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=jV1ZfXa8X4I:J6lHmBqSz8E:KwTdNBX3Jqk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?a=jV1ZfXa8X4I:J6lHmBqSz8E:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/groupon?i=jV1ZfXa8X4I:J6lHmBqSz8E:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/groupon/~4/jV1ZfXa8X4I" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/groupon/~3/jV1ZfXa8X4I/dc-ghd-raging-buffalo http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/dc-ghd-raging-buffalo Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:00:54 +0000 http://groupon.com/chicago/deals/dc-ghd-raging-buffalo
