Like Mike Tyson, wine is usually robust, often boxed, and should never influence tattooing decisions. Imbibe the spirit of a champion with this Groupon.

$95 for $200 Worth of Small Plates and Drinks

In addition to corking bottles of wine such as the almost-chocolaty Los Nevados malbec from Mendoza, Argentina ($10/glass), and the crisp Anziano pinot grigio from Veneto, Italy ($10/glass), bartenders fill glasses with the bubbles of Allagash White, a creamy belgian wheat beer ($7), and Lagunitas A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin pale ale ($6).

The menu offers more solid sustenance in the forms of gourmet paninis ($12), cheese plates with bread and dried fruits ($8+/1.5 ounces), and artisan-cured meats ($8 for 10 fresh-cut slices).

694 Wine & Spirits

Continually lauded by various publications including Chicago magazine, 694 Wine & Spirits thrusts sophisticated bar fare and modestly produced libations into the willing fists of its patrons. Panini sandwiches whose fillings are limited to three high-quality components join a score of artisan cheeses and cured meats on a minimalist bar menu, and carefully picked vino and bubbly bottles accompany straight corn whiskey and small-batch bourbon on an eye-opening spirits list. A cubist decor dotted with square stools, pop-art prints, and exposed brick houses sippers of Bison Grass vodka, nibblers of salt-and-butter baguettes, and a DJ and his talking horse on Friday and Saturday evenings.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.
