Fishtail by David Burke

Fishtail by David Burke's yellowfin-tuna and swordfish steaks don’t arrive at the door frozen and packed. They come from local fish markets, sustainable farms, and the restaurant’s own boat, which works out of Brielle, New Jersey. Entrepreneur and celebrity chef David Burke, working with Executive Chef Sylvain Delpique, prioritizes seasonal, sustainable ingredients in cuisine that blends tradition with clever gastronomic technology. The latter bursts to the forefront at the ends of meals in options including a molten "Can O' Cake"—underbaked to order and tricked out with a variety of tableside toppings—and cheesecake lollipops with raspberries and impossible-sounding bubblegum whipped cream.

But for all its play with dessert, the restaurant's heart is in the sea. Crain's New York Business praised the "pristine" raw bar selections, "superb swordfish steak," and "sensational baby halibut," all starring on an enormous menu navigated with the help of "attentive waitstaffers."

Chef Delpique often gathers Eastern influences to pair with the sea fruits and his traditional French background, drizzling basil oil and curry vinaigrette over scallops and lacquering Angry Shanghai Lobster with Asian-style barbecue sauce. The kitchen's sense of fun overflows into the bi-level dining space, hung with paintings of outrageously colored fish and glass chandeliers that look like conceptual art. Meanwhile, a stately townhouse exterior keeps the rest of the block's vintage row houses from gossiping behind the restaurant's back.

The Groupon Guide to: Babe Ruth Myths

As the story of Babe "The Baby" Ruth's baseball career continues to be told to new generations, the facts are becoming more and more distorted. Dispel common Ruth myths with his handy guide:

Myth: Before hitting a home run in the 1932 World Series, he "called his shot" by pointing his bat toward the center-field bleachers.
Truth: Grainy film footage confirms that "The Sultan of Swing" did in fact point toward the bleachers before hitting a home run. However, Ruth faked the home run by taking a powerful swing, catching the pitched ball, discreetly swallowing it, and yelling, "A home run! A home run is what I just struck with my bat! Now I run the bases before you all!" The ball, and the truth, weren't revealed until much later, when Babe Ruth's doctor penned the bestseller Things I've Removed from Babe Ruth's Body: The Story.

Myth: A sick child asked Babe Ruth to hit a home run for him, and Ruth did.
Truth: "The Great Home Run Provider" did hit a home run for the child, and then two more; however, the only sickness the child suffered from was being selfish.

Myth: Babe Ruth died on August 16, 1948.
Truth: Though a death certificate confirms this date, "The Nightmare on Baseball Street" continues to live on in all of us because of his final wish—for his body to be donated to Hansen Paper Co. and then slowly parceled out into their paper products.

How many baseballs did Babe Ruth swallow?
