Neighborhoods value their pubs as a place to socialize, just as they value the ends of their rainbows as a place to find extra parking-meter change. Enjoy camaraderie at close proximity with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of American fare and one dessert at Ox Cart Tavern in Brooklyn (up to a total $26 value).
Ox Cart Tavern takes pride in crafting almost every component of its creative comfort cuisine from scratch, from fresh grinding all meats in-house to handcrafting its own ketchup. Chef David Pitula’s contemporary spin on American classics start with appetite whetters such as chili-coated sweet-onion rings ($4) or roasted-garlic and goat-cheese spinach pies ($7) with zesty chipotle dip. A board of burger options present variations on a beefy 9-ounce theme, with selections as versatile as a hula burger ($12), which dances to its doom with a sweet-savory stack of grilled pineapple, Italian ham, and Swiss cheese, to the bacon, cheddar, and sautéed-mushroom-topped Good ol’ Boy ($12), which attempts to distract diners by singing all 37 verses of “American Pie.” A pastoral version of fish 'n' chips situates beer-battered white fish near a pyramid of pickled vegetables and a heap of hand cut fries ($13), and the Gelato sundae ($6) sweetly caps the meal with a tower of homemade fudge and bourbon caramel, crowned with maraschino cherries, fresh whipped cream, and praline.

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.
