Soak up savories and savory sounds with today’s jazz-drenched Groupon. For $15, you’ll get $30 worth of audible and epicurean delights at Coda, a recently opened multisensory Mission Street supper club. The feared animal uprising never happened and Americans embraced jazz and jazz musicians, often giving them colorful nicknames, such as "Fancy Fingers" and "'Ol Skin Bag." Jazz faced its toughest challenge in 1936, when it was stolen by the French, who attempted to use the improvisational music to power a series of submarines. France and the United States sent their five best warriors into an ancient temple to battle for the future of jazz, but all 10 fighters became friends and moved in together. Thereafter, jazz returned to the United States on its own, where it remains popular today.

Today’s Groupon follows South American flavors all the way to Market Street’s Destino Nuevo Latino Bistro, where $15 gets you $30 worth of southern hemisphere dishes and drinks. Citysearchers adore Destino, naming it the Best of San Francisco for Latin Food and Small Plates four years in a row.“The Adventure Begins”: After inheriting a magical amulet, Coyle receives a premonition of his destiny: He will spend the weekend cleaning up a highway adopted by the Lions Club. While disposing of soda bottles thrown by careless drivers, Coyle stumbles upon a dark secret involving the mayor, but taking his amulet’s advice, he chooses not to investigate.

Opaque subdues sight in order to set other senses ablaze during a three-course dinner served in a fully darkened dining space. Guests arrive to a well-lit lounge area where they peruse and order from a diverse prix fixe menu devised by an illustrious local chef who engineers each dish to achieve the best in sight-free savoring, compiling interesting textures, rich tastes, and ingredients unlikely to shout "Marco Polo." The aphotic dining room then opens to a staff of blind or visually impaired servers who guides each diner to their seat in a refreshing reversal of roles, offering helpful suggestions and reassurance as guests adjust to their new and mystifying kinesthesia. Forks explore the eclectic textures of mixed green or heirloom-tomato-cucumber salads before meandering through savory dishes of garlic-topped filet mignon, roasted herb chicken, or sundried-tomato-pesto rigatoni. Seared ahi tuna steak dances a textural tango, lavishing tongues with a warm and smoky crust surrounding a cool, raw interior showered in sweet mango sauce, and a choice of desserts brings unlit evenings to a decadent end, as warm chocolate lava cake tickles mouth-roofs with berries encrusted in minty sugar crystals and eruptions of liquid chocolate.

After years of dreaming about owning their own restaurant, Marcel Banks and his uncle Gregory Banks finally opened the doors at Frisco Fried in 2010. Within months, SF Weekly declared that "the Bayview soul-food restaurant felt like the kind of place that defines a neighborhood," nodding to the Giants-inspired black-and-orange décor, the finger-licking fare, and the framed Webster's definitions of "neighborhood" at each table. The menu's fried chicken, seafood entrees, and Southern-style sides seem deceptively simple, but in reality, chefs pride themselves on innovative seasonings and impeccable pairings, such as the caramelized garlic butter and garlic noodles that accompany the crab. When not paying homage to soul-food staples including chicken and waffles, Frisco Fried's culinary architects reveal a flair for invention with their hybridized and hunger-busting burger dogs.
