Neighborhoods value their pubs as a place to socialize, just as they value the ends of their rainbows as a place to find extra parking-meter change. Enjoy camaraderie at close proximity with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pub fare at Mitchell's Tavern in Tonawanda.
A historic outpost lauded in the Buffalo News for its comforting cuisine, Mitchell's Tavern piles generous helpings of American fare onto guests’ plates in a casual dining room surrounded by mounted sports snapshots. Kick off meals with complimentary popcorn or a platter of hand-cut sweet-potato fries ($3.50), dipping them in butter or honey to pen affectionate sonnets to besotted bees. A greek salad ($5.75; $7 with chicken) tosses feta and black olives in with lettuce, onion, and tomatoes, freshening palates before they run the hand-pressed habanero burger's spicy gauntlet ($6.25). Mitchell's roast-beef house-specialty sandwich ($5.50; $6.75 with fries) packages slow-roasted beef and signature gravy inside a kaiser or kimmelweck roll, and a clique of fries, coleslaw, and potato salad cheers on the beer-battered haddock fillet as it high-dives into tangy pools of tartar or cocktail sauce ($8.75).
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Cable vs. Satellite
Ever since traditional TV antennae were banned to curb extraterrestrial-signal hijackings, most households have upgraded their channel quantity for a small, monthly, large fee. When choosing between cable or satellite dish, consider the pros and cons:
- Satellites dishes and cable are often privy to exclusive channels not available in the competing medium, such as Food Network, Cooking Channel, ChefTV, and Eating: The Channel for People Who Occasionally Do So.
- Designed for outdoor use, near-indestructible satellite dishes can be used to shield yourself from lightning, and cable comes with more offensive capabilities, such as lassoing a bull or tying up your boss until he agrees to reinstate Hawaiian-Shirt Happy Hour.
- Satellite dishes attract harmless low-frequency sound vibrations that cause peach fuzz to form on newborn infant cheeks, and cable can occasionally leak entertainment into the local groundwater, triggering emanations of canned sitcom laughter from household faucets.
