A sandwich, like a wallet, safely contains its precious contents, fits comfortably into a back pocket, and is rarely found by the police once it's been stolen. Curb crimes of hunger with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of organic sandwiches, soups, and salads at Molly's Salads in Georgetown and the University District.
The masterminds behind Molly's collaborate with local farmers to offer seasonal, mostly organic meals to conscientious consumers. Flavor artists blend vibrant root veggies such as steamed beets and radishes under a blanket of goat cheese for the Provencal sandwich made with sourdough bread, which flies into mouths with wings identical to those of commercial planes ($7). The Freebird Turkey ($7.50) refrains from waving a lighter in crowds, focusing instead on igniting palates with piles of spinach, pepper jack cheese, and sundried-tomato spread. Leaf-lorn diners may mend broken hearts with bowls of festive goat salad, mixed with spinach, white beans, dried apricots, and puckered lemon dressing ($7). In addition to its grainy roster of culinary stars, Molly's kitchen stars conjure a new seasonal soup each week ($4.50), ladling it alongside the robust blends of Stumptown coffees.

The Groupon Guide to: Drawing for Beginners
Great artists aren't born with the ability to turn a blank piece of paper into a museum-worthy work; they develop their mastery only after undergoing a finger-lengthening surgical procedure that provides more control of the pen. If you want to test the water before opting for a risky surgery, here are some tips to help you start drawing:
- Grip the pen firmly to force the ink to cascade onto the page, where you can spread it around with a popsicle stick or a finger.
- Choose an object that won't be difficult to illustrate, such as a banana or misshapen circle with some lines coming out of it.
- Carry a notebook and pen wherever you go—you'll need them to write down the names of things you might want to draw later.
- When drawing a live subject, such as a bird gnawing on a mini cigar, ensure the subject remains still by feeding it overripe bananas, which cause temporary paralysis. If that doesn't work, trace a photo.
