New Orleans hasn't always been known as The Big Easy, but its time spent as The Miniature Difficulties has been selectively forgotten out of respect for ukuleles and bonsai trees. Enjoy full-size Cajun flavor with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of New Orleans–inspired soul food and drinks at People's Republic of Brooklyn in Carroll Gardens.

Black leather couches line the brick walls of People's Republic of Brooklyn, beckoning neighborhood noshers with the promise of relaxation, accompanied by hearty Cajun fare and casual cocktails. While the sounds of spin-masters fill the deep-set restaurant, guests feast eyes on a menu of soul-infused entrees, supplemented with sides of macaroni and cheese ($5), fried sweet potatoes ($3), and crab fritters ($6). The restaurant's outdoor cupola allows noses to enjoy the fresh air while mouths remain occupied with fried-catfish sandwiches ($9) and seafood gumbo ($10). Spiced brioche bread pudding sweetens beer-embittered palates and regrets over chess losses ($7).

People's Republic of Brooklyn's cozy, couched atmosphere makes it an inviting stage for visiting storytellers (Mondays at 8 p.m.) and karaoke crooners (Tuesdays and Thursdays). While tellers tell their tales of Woodrow Wilson, listeners can drown their support in sips of dirty martinis ($6) or shots filled with Chambord and whipped cream ($5).

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Chivalry

As once-common social etiquette dissolves into a modern quagmire of askew baseball caps and satirical raps, gentlepeople of all genders and creeds are reviving acts of chivalry once feared extinct:

• Pulling out a guest’s chair
• Pulling out a guest’s hair (if they so request)
• Leaving the house with dozens of expensive overcoats to lay across the innumerable puddles sure to be encountered on even a slightly rainy day
• Offering your handkerchief to a sick king
• Excusing yourself from the table if you need to say a swear
• Proposing marriage before being brazen enough to ask someone their name
• Accidentally holding a door for a long enough string of consecutive people that the manager of the establishment yells at you when you try to stop because he can’t remember a time when you haven’t been standing there
• Cosmetic application of tuberculosis
• Taking your hat off for an hour every time a king dies

Do gentlemen still lay their overcoats over puddles?
