Coco Restaurant

As the bistro's earthy yellow brick walls and ocean-hued drapery draw diners in, the surprising blend of old San Juan dishes and urban culinary artistry evokes the spirit of Puerto Rico. Amid modern art and cherry-stained tables, the crowd lends a lulling backdrop to romantic dinners or shrimp-juggling competitions. Seafood options such as red snapper dressed in creole sauce abound, befitting the menu's tropical origins. A turf-side delight, the pork loin basks on a seaside of papaya-rum reduction in the lomo de cerdo. The kitchen's creativity is matched by the bar's reservoir of house cocktails, such as the Cocotini made with vodka, rum, and coconut shavings, or the Lemongrass's blend of apple juice, fresh lime, and vodka. A live salsa band plays every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, complementing the restaurant's imaginative atmosphere.

The Groupon Guide to: DVD Commentary Reveals

DVD commentaries can be fonts of behind-the-scenes trivia about all your favorite flicks. What are some secrets we learned from watching the special features?

  • Only half the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were real dinosaurs.
  • Robert De Niro is a joy to work with, really gets to know everyone on set.
  • The reason there are so many Batman movies is because the mask lets producers cast interchangeable nonunion stuntmen that are cheap and easy to knock around.
  • Marty Scorsese is a joy to work with, takes time to get to know people.
  • The special effects in Toy Story were done with computers.
  • Claymation skeletons are a joy to work with, spend a lot of time sword fighting folks during breaks.
