Dining out spares people from using up the last of their paper plates or incinerating the last of their paper ovens. Reduce your disposable-cookware footprint with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of Russian-inspired cuisine at Olga's Fine Dining.
Olga’s Fine Dining’s menu fuses Southern flavors with Russian standards made from old family recipes passed down to its Russian-born founders. The 8-ounce Abramovich fillet, topped with jumbo shrimp and sautéed crabmeat, combines surf ‘n’ turf as seamlessly as a mer-centaur ($34). Mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella melt over a hand-cut 14- to 16-ounce Moscow ribeye ($29), and bacon, fennel, and spinach cling to salmon Rockefeller ($27).
Weekends set live piano music floating through Olga’s newly added full bar and main dining room, where sleek black booths and couches set off vibrant decorations. A folk-art mural of St. Petersburg wraps around two walls, studded with brightly rendered buildings and painted townsfolk who gaze out into a mural of an upscale Russian-American restaurant.

The Groupon Guide to: Animal Sounds
Identifying animal sounds isn't just for schoolchildren and the professional hunters who capture most of the meat our nation eats today—it's a skill that might just save your life. Test your knowledge by matching the animals to their telltale noises:
The Animals
1) Dog
2) Parrot
3) Tony the Tiger
4) Dodo Bird
5) Human
The Noises
A. Er-Er-Ber
B. Cluck-Cluck
C. Argh!
D. Bow-Wow
E. They’re Grrrrreat!
The Answers
1) D Dogs go Bow-Wow. Animal behaviorists believe this signature howl is short for "Bow, humans! Wow, you're not doing it…." Dogs hate humans.
2) B Parrots go Cluck-Cluck, assuming that the parrots have been living with a chicken.
3) E Frosted Flakes' spokescat Tony the Tiger went They're Grrrrreat!, though he was recently fired after being photographed eating Cheerios in a men's hotel outside Orlando.
4) A Dodo birds went Er-Er-Ber. Or did they? We'll never know, because man hunted the flightless dodos to extinction, believing their bellies to be filled with gold. Granted, they were filled with gold, but now there's no bird-gold for the rest of us. Thanks a lot, humans.
5) C Humans go Argh! to express their innate frustration that stabbing plants doesn't cause a delicious sugary goop to come out, even though that worked once, with maple syrup.
