Brunch restaurants pander to grownups' childlike desires, serving sweets as entrees, allowing champagne before evening, and proving that some made-up words have staying power. Awaken your appetite's inner child with today's Groupon: for $33, you get Saturday or Sunday brunch for two, including two entrees (up to a $28 value), one side (a $3 value), and unlimited bloody marys and mimosas (a $25 value) at The Ainsworth (a $56 total value).

Rustic pine walls and vintage chandeliers set the stage for elegant dining at The Ainsworth, whose brunch menu bursts with both classic and inventive recipes. Diners can get cozy atop a chocolate leather seat while sipping a bubbly mimosa or zesty bloody mary, perfect potions for ensuring daylong happiness or curing fatigue after a particularly frenzied evening of scrapbooking. Entrees such as eggs benedict (a $12 value) and buttermilk pancakes (a $13 value) demonstrate a mastery of morning classics, whereas concoctions such as the truffled goat-cheese omelet sandwich (a $14 value) give diners a sneak peak into the chef's imagination, which also happens to be garnished with wild mushrooms, mesculin greens, and a tap-dancing octopus. The maple fondue plate (a $28 value for up to three people) offers a sweeter start, surrounding a centerpiece of spice-infused maple syrup with waffles, sausage, and fresh fruit. Sides (a $3 value each) ranging from whole-wheat toast to turkey sausage attend to plates, and an array of high-definition TVs lend unimpeded glimpses of morning sports games and late-breaking sunrise coverage.

The Ainsworth

Gothic chandeliers and soaring pine columns lend The Ainsworth's cavernous dining room the same rustic elegance at play in its food. Its menus feature twists on classic comfort dishes, such as barbecue-pulled-pork sliders and sesame-crusted yellowfin tuna with a soy-honey glaze—food that Time Out New York called "a notch above the average pub's." According to UrbanDaddy, 40 flat-screen high-definition TVs gleam from ornately papered walls or from fixtures above plush leather booths, broadcasting football games in the fall, basketball matches in the spring, and freezer-preserved snowball fights in the summer. The restaurant's lounge-like atmosphere finds tasty complement in craft brews and specialty cocktails, which can be enjoyed until the wee hours seven days a week.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Nighttime Noises

Falling asleep is already difficult enough because of daytime caffeine intake and anxiety about the number of spiders you’re statistically likely to swallow in your sleep each night. Put fears to rest with this breakdown of common nighttime noises:

Creaking: This is just the sound of the house settling, i.e., realizing it will never marry a wealthy, tastefully furnished mansion or a dashing, roguish houseboat, but that it could perhaps find some kind of happiness with a plain but able RV who is consistently full of groceries.

Cats Fighting in an Alley: No cause for alarm—this alarming act of violence is actually an alarming act of love. Afford them privacy, or, if you are gifted in this way, some romantic saxophone music.

Men’s Voices Shouting: This is most likely just the autorepeating DVD menu for Ken Burns’s epic 16-hour documentary American Burglar. Lower your head and fall back asleep to the soothing narration of disc eight's “Butchers, Bakers … and Candlestick Takers?”

A Dripping Faucet That Is No Longer Dripping When You Get Up to Attend to It: Don’t worry about an expensive plumbing bill—this is actually just the sound of you slowly going insane from sleep deprivation. Time to return to your bed so you can check out what kind of monstrous insect will be wearing your spouse’s pajamas and asking you what's wrong in their voice.

How many spiders did you eat in your sleep this week?

  • Ainsworth has great , [sic] friendly staff. Great food and drinks and the atmosphere is awesome.
    Jennifer f., Yelp, 5/9/10
  • The food is very good, noticeably better than any old random sports bar. There is a solid selection of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas that are all well done.
