The nostalgic nature of comfort fare has the power to recall favorite dining memories, from blowing out birthday candles on a chicken pot pie to topping the Christmas tree with mashed potatoes. Test taste-bud memories with today's Groupon to Fox and Hound in Quincy. Choose between the following options:
- For $30, you get $60 worth of contemporary American fare.
- For $50, you get $120 worth of contemporary American fare for a table of four or more.
Fox and Hound's menus update classic American comfort fare, busying eaters with contemporary takes on steak, seafood, and pasta amid exposed brick walls and a fireplace hearth. Appetizers such as fried calamari dipped in ginger-plum sauce ($10) segue diners to seafaring bites, such as the lobster mac 'n' cheese, speckled with 4-ounce hunks of lobster ($21), and the sesame seared salmon fillet, with jasmine rice and lemongrass broth ($20). Buttermilk crisps the outside edges of the Fork & Knife fried chicken ($14), and the new york strip steak piques appetites as it covertly amasses government intel under the cover a charred exterior and layers of house-made steak sauce ($23).

The Groupon Guide to: Lucky Pennies
The coppery lifeblood of the organism known as the economy, pennies are more than just the most useful basic element of currency—they're also associated with good luck. Consult the following guide to prepare yourself for chance encounters with the world's most valuable coin:
• In the United States, pennies bear the image of Abraham Lincoln, America's luckiest president.
• Upside-down pennies, or "tailsies," are actually bad luck. Rather than picking them up, mash them down safely with your heel and wait there until a police officer arrives to relieve you.
• To test if a penny is truly lucky, place it on a railroad track. If the oncoming train gingerly slows to a halt and a suspiciously Santa Claus–esque conductor leans out and asks if you're ready for the adventure of a lifetime, the penny was, indeed, charmed. Don't wait too near, however, as trains that do not stop may cause severe skeletal displacement.
• Collecting roughly 90 pennies will allow you to exchange them at the bank for less lucky but safer-to-eat coins made of chocolate or pressed alfalfa.
• Throwing a penny into a fountain will allow you to make a wish—since this wish is guaranteed to come true, make sure to ask for something you truly desire, such as a replacement penny or a book about which famous dinosaurs have feathers.
