In a Nutshell

Charcuterie and roast chicken in a stylishly rustic farm-to-table space precede packed lineups of New York and national comics

The Fine Print

The dinner-and-a-show option has outlasted many less-successful date structures, such as dinner and a nap or brunch and community service. Find a perfect pairing with this GrouponLive deal to Alobar Restaurant and The Laughing Devil. For $35, you get dinner and a comedy show for two (up to a $90 value), which includes:

  • Two large plates from Alobar's menu (up to a $50 value)
  • Two general-admission tickets to any post-dinner comedy show at The Laughing Devil (up to a $40 value)

The night begins with a menu by Alobar's executive chef, Ian Kapitan. His farm-to-table dishes cull locally grown and raised ingredients from within 200 miles of New York, though they stray far beyond farmers'-market staples: a large charcuterie plate piles up berkshire coppa and chicken-liver pâtè, and fried rabbit and roast pig roam pastures of seasonal greenery. Visiting soon after it opened, the Wall Street Journal noted that the restaurant "exudes two qualities co-owner Jeff Blath wanted to get across: warmth and comfort." Indeed, Blath and his team labored for months to achieve an atmosphere of timeless Americana—strips of rough wooden lath line the ceiling, overlooking 19th-century advertisements and seating that recalls a midcentury high-school science lab where no one will yell at you for eating the experiments.

After dinner, pairs meander down Vernon Boulevard to The Laughing Devil to catch a rotating lineup of local and national comedians. Most shows pack the bill with at least six comics; upcoming performers include Myq Kaplan and Mike Lawrence. Customers enjoy laughs while sipping on 14 on-tap brews, which include a mix of craft, local, and imported beers.

The Groupon Guide to: Escaping Your Past

Your past is a haunted place full of people, experiences, and secret government tests you’d rather forget. Follow these steps to clear your mind and your record:

  • Cut ties with your family, friends, and anyone who has a copy of your dental records.

  • Fake your own death using whichever method your father taught you when you were a kid.

  • Secretly attend your own funeral. Write something self-deprecating in the memorial book so that no one suspects that you’re still alive and attending your own funeral.

  • Change your name to be the same as your favorite celebrity. The fun of having a celebrity name will take your mind off of the all the crying you did when you found out you were dead.

  • Help yourself forget about all that stuff by filling your brain with the names of as many different horse breeds and horse facts as you can remember.

  • Congratulations! You’re ready to restart your life as “Freddie Prinze Jr., Celebrity Horse Trainer”.

How can you prove that you weren’t at your own funeral?
