Hunger, unlike ambulance sirens, meningitis, and restraining orders, is not something you can safely ignore. Answer the mighty call of a bellowing belly with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of upscale American fare at flora, located in Arlington.

Flora serves beautifully presented American cuisine infused with French and Italian flavors by chef Bob Sargent and made using fresh vegetables and locally sourced ingredients. Flora's menu, like the direction of the wind or the guest on a morning talk-radio show, is subject to change, but recent enticing entrees have included petite lamb chops and slow-cooked shoulder of lamb ($26) as well as pan-crisped Giannone chicken, which is partnered with whipped potato, broccoli rabe, and truffle butter ($23). Enjoy baited bites of aquatic edibles such as Southern-fried fish, enhanced with a shrimp remoulade slaw and warm potato salad ($20), or New England seafood “bouillabaisse,” stocked with lobster, mussels, clams, and fish ($28). Each of flora's small plates includes a smattering of assorted bites, such as its tray of pickled-beet salad, smoked salmon, and creamy dill dressing ($13). Selfish meteorologists can frighten off tablemates with predictions of indoor thunder blizzards, then horde the precipitous palatability of chocolate cloud cake ($8) for dessert.

You can also choose to wake up to flora's brunch buffet ($17), available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays. While the buffet fare can vary, you'll likely find eggs cooked to your liking, home-fried potatoes, cheddar-infused grits, and a smorgasbord of breakfast meat. Before guests head home to watch the commercial breaks of football games, they can sip on coffee and snack on a homemade dessert.

Enjoy the finely crafted fare of chef Sargent, who holds a degree from Vermont's New England Culinary Institute, while dining within flora's elegant dining room. Located in a renovated, 1920s brick-and-granite building, flora's two-story windows, vaulted ceilings, and mahogany vestibule please the eyes as much as the cuisine pleases the taste buds and the songs of Quiet Riot please the inner air-guitarist.

  • My husband and I love Flora. It's our favorite restaurant in town. The food is divine and the service is outstanding. We have never been disappointed. – barbar1958, Citysearch
  • I loved everything about Flora. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was out of this world. It's definitely pricey, but the food is all organic and local, so it's worth it. – Joanna F., Yelp, 12/4/10
  • flora is our trusted neighbor (we live in the next town over). The servers are experienced colleagues with knowledgeable recommendations. The food is consistently wonderful-- they've been doing locally grown, innovative plates for many years. – OpenTable reviewer who dined on 1/27/2011

Groupon Guide to: Vital Signs

Each time you visit a doctor, the physician will run a series of 47 basic tests to quickly determine how alive you are. Here are some tips for passing four of the examinations you'll be subjected to at your next checkup:

Breathing Test: Doctor makes you blow into a brown paper bag for two minutes. How to Pass: When the doctor hands you a lunch-sized bag, tear it up and tell a story about how you could probably inflate a 30-gallon plastic trash bag with your mouth if someone made you.

Temperature Test: Doctor makes you sit in a bathtub full of ice and tracks how long it takes you to melt the cubes. How to Pass: Speed up the process. Either lower the melting point of water by filling your pockets with something salty, such as ballpark pretzels, or increase your body temperature by asking the doctor to hug you.

Hair Growth Test: Doctor has you stand against wall, where he or she has marked off the length of your hair at your last visit. How to Pass: Impress the doctor by growing your hair right in front of him or her. Just train a long-haired animal to sit perfectly still on your head and slowly inch backward when the measurement is taken.

Pulse Test: Doctor counts your heartbeats by simultaneously pressing his or her ear against your chest, and his or her fingers against your neck and wrist, where your two smaller hearts rest. How to Pass: Slow down your heart rate until it is completely undetectable. The doctor will be left with no choice but to pass you because admitting failure is one of a doctor's greatest fears, in addition to horses that eat people.

Where are the rest of my hearts located?
