The French have given the United States many tremendous gifts, such as the Statue of Liberty and the current Statue of Liberty, which subdued the first one after lightning made it evil. Enjoy imported indulgences with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of French-American cuisine at O'Keeffe Café in Santa Fe.
Though O'Keeffe Café has closed as of November 21, 2011, Groupon holders may use this Groupon at Pranzo Italian Grill.
O'Keeffe Café, which is adjacent to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, sits diners amid photographic mementos and images of the artist's life as they delve into a menu inspired by the culinary offerings of France's Périgord, Provence, and Basque regions. Jump-start gustatory glands without having to lick an electrical socket with the sautéed ruby trout sharing plate-estate with sundried tomato tapenade, pancetta, roasted potatoes, and tarragon nage ($12). The roasted maple leaf duck breast vanquishes hunger with swiss chard and cranberry gastric demi-glace ($27), and the apple-cider-brined center-cut pork chop matches appetites against a slab of beast with sautéed spinach, sage, and gruyere mac 'n' cheese ($27). Diner can bring their meals to a sweet conclusion with indulgences such as the mixed berry torte à la mode ($10) or the lemon mousse shortcakes topped with strawberries and mint honey.
While noshing on artfully crafted entrees, guests can lounge in O'Keeffe's outdoor dining areas, where they can sit under a 150-year-old box elder, take in fresh air, and spot clouds that look like George Clooney.

The Groupon Guide to: Professions of the Past
As technology changes, professions either evolve—like when basketball became baseball when the sporting-goods industry invented smaller balls—or they fade away. Here are some jobs that no longer exist:
Milkman: The milkman's reign ended when doorstep-resting milk theft escalated, resulting in unstoppable strong-boned super criminals. These lawbreakers proved to be too much for the penal system, as they could easily escape prison by removing a femur and using it to dig through the thick concrete walls.
Elevator Operator: This was considered one of the most dangerous professions because the operators' primary duty was to offer their bodies to the riders as nourishment should the elevator stall for more than 30 seconds. In recent years, upscale office buildings have attempted to recapture the lift-attendant era by placing an old truck tire with drawn-on eyes and a mouth in each elevator car.
Football-Field Painter: Now that scientists have discovered that grass will naturally grow white if it's initially watered with bleach, decorating a field with yard lines and hash marks requires no upkeep. Fortunately, many former football-field artists were able make a living using their spray-painting skills by waiting at busy intersections and repainting people's cars while they were stopped at the red light.
