Like pea-plant genetics, fusion cuisine carefully mixes distinct tastes in an effort to make something Gregor Mendel will eat. Indulge in craftily enmeshed meals with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Japanese-Brazilian fusion fare and drinks at Kone Restaurant.
Kone's culinary artisans meld a menu merging Japanese sushi, seafood, and grilled cuisine with spicy Brazilian notes. Zap drowsy dates into tasty alertness with an appetizer of oysters vacationing from the Gulf of Mexico ($12.50) before moving on to a seaworthy entree of lemon-caper-kissed salmon ($19.50). Turf-based dishes, including Cuban-style skirt steak drizzled in peppery criolla sauce ($22.50), sate terrestrial teeth and water-wing-dependent taste buds. For those preferring their cookery uncooked, sushi selections including seaweed-wrapped veggie rolls ($6.00) and sassy Copacabana rolls bursting with avocado, cucumber, and mango ($8) are readily available.
Kone’s bold-tangerine walls and radiant light fixtures welcome guests' eyes to drink in the décor as they drink smooth sips of cappuccino ($3.50). The restaurant closes at midnight five days a week and at 2 a.m. every Friday and Saturday, providing late-night entertainment without repetitive infomercials.

The Groupon Guide to: This Year's Coolest Gadget
Technological achievements have made gadgets more advanced than ever—the only problem is that no one knows which ones are the most must-havingest. Solve that problem with this list of the year's coolest gadgets:
- SolarScoot: This urban scooting transporter, made of imported Brazilian coacaba wood with decals designed by Tristan Cuehlo, certainly isn’t embarrassing for a full-grown adult to be riding in front of other full-grown adults.
- SongDog: Days at the dog park have never been more fun with this urban technophile's dream—a helmet that gently hypnotizes your dog into bark-singing your favorite MP3s.
- MirrorMD: Ideal for the young, health-conscious urban professional, this miraculous mirror reads your skin pallor, muscle tension, blood sugar, and retinal-reaction speed, then recommends that day's mixture of vitamins before predicting your D.O.D. (Date of Divergence).
- UrbanDogHat: Compatible with SongDog and the forthcoming SongDog Pro II, this techno-leap is another kind of hat…that dogs can wear!
