Spongy pieces of injera soak up the spicy and herb-filled stews of doro wat, split lentils, sautéed spinach, and tender lamb

Guests can sample classic Ethiopian dishes such as the doro wat with chicken sautéed in red garlic, ginger, and other spices ($12.50), the sautéed lamb of the lega tibs ($12.95), or vegetarian dishes including the spicy red lentils of the yemsir wot ($9.50) and the sautéed spinach and peppers of the gomen ($9.50).

Axum Restaurant

In many ways, Axum Restaurant is like any good traditional Ethiopian eatery, with meaty dishes served family-style over a layer of injera—the country’s signature flatbread. Yet the restaurant stands out from the pack thanks to the faster-paced activity in the bar area, where local DJs and bands spark late-night dance parties with their pulsing tunes. This modernity carries over to the kitchen as well. Here, chefs concoct traditional doro wat chicken alongside American staples such as chicken sandwiches. The staff also specializes in lamb dishes simmering in herb-filled stews, but create a full range of vegetarian options to mix up their routine, much like replacing a desk chair with an wild pony.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing a Couch

Choosing the perfect couch is important because you're going to have to sleep on it if you ever accidentally spill something (beer) on your bed. Here are some tips for picking out a cushioned wonder:

  • Sit on the couch you're thinking about purchasing to make sure it's comfortable and sweat absorbent.

  • You can shave a fuzzy couch to make it into a leather couch.

  • Measure the couch to make sure it fits inside your house without blocking any exits or spots that the dog uses as a bathroom.

  • If you've got a brother who regularly visits or a secret son who sleeps in your home every night, you're going to need a couch with a pullout bed.

  • If you can't find a couch you like, ask the store if they can do a custom order or put three chairs next to each other.

Where does your secret son sleep?
