Sports bars intimately weave athleticism and cuisine, much like a potato-powered treadmill or a ham thrown in a perfect spiral. Sup sportily with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $24 worth of steaks, sandwiches, and eclectic entrees at Shevy's Sports and Steaks in Elkhorn.
Shevy's Sports and Steaks' servers usher Angus beef steaks and burgers through five spacious dining areas bedecked in sports photographs and memorabilia. A brimming menu twirls an appetizing kaleidoscope of carnivore-pleasers, including a 16-ounce rib eye ($18.99). Thick burgers, such as the Cajun-kissed blackened Shirt burger ($7.99), parade meaty flavor and, unlike an ice sculpture of Barry Manilow, have never been frozen. Munch on hearty handheld comestibles, including the walleye sandwich ($8.49) or shaved prime rib buttressed by sourdough bread ($8.99). A grilled, fried, or scampi-style shrimp dinner ($13.99) grants diners the chance to direct a feast as unique as the fingerprint of an Oompa Loompa.
Intercept sports broadcasts on flat-screen TVs in Shevy's sleek bar or brush up on football trivia in the Heisman lounge, whose walls are lined with photos and memorabilia from nearly every Heisman winner. The restaurant pulses with DJs and karaoke weekly, and guests can sup al fresco while admiring cumulus clouds' offensive-tackle strategy on the sprawling paver patio.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Savings
Though the Federal Reserve anticipates that by late next year our current monetary system will be replaced by bartering goods for animal pelts, it’s important nonetheless to save money. Here are some tips for setting aside some cash:
- When cashing a check, immediately place 10% in a savings account by cutting the check into 10 equal pieces and instructing the teller to deposit only one strip. Remember to endorse all 10 pieces—if you fail to do so, the bank keeps the entire amount.
- Keep cash under your mattress. The oils produced by the human body will eventually seep through the bed and wash away the green dye, allowing you to sell the untarnished rectangles as high-quality bookmarks.
- Start a swear jar, a container that you swear you will put some money into.
- Hire a responsible robber to mug you and put your cash and old receipts into a money-market account.
- Turn it into a game. For every $100 you save, yell "Jenga!"
