Though the "noble experiment" of Prohibition failed, other noble experiments, such as teaching horses how to shoot guns and giving suffrage to any horse that can shoot a gun, were huge successes. Celebrate the failure of the 18th Amendment with today's Groupon: for $15, you'll receive $30 worth of tapas, pizza, drinks, and more at The Globe, located on Belmont Street.
Recently opened, The Globe brings the good life to everyday hunger-havers with an affordable selection of artisan pizza and tapas, tasty beverages, and nightly live music. Like a United Nations potluck party, the menu boasts an eclectic selection of social food staples such as the Maiale pizza, with ham, pork belly, caramelized onions, blue cheese, pears, and cream ($15). Tapas aficionados can choose from a plethora of small plates, such as the chianti-cured salami ($4), the bacon-stuffed eggs ($4), and the roast garlic and chickpea dip ($4). Wines and classic cocktails draw on regional blends for local flavor, while revolving taps dispense a cornucopia of craft beers.
Decorated with fresh flowers and idiosyncratic artwork, the intimate space provides an ideal setting for listening to the nightly performances by local musicians and their loyal robot backup bands, while a large garage-style door opens onto cozy patio seating on warm days.

The Groupon Guide to: Faking Your Own Death
With piano-recital season coming up, faking one's own death is becoming more and more popular. Here are some tips for those who want a clean slate:
Make Sure It's for You: Faking your death is a lot of work and not tax-deductible, so you have to be sure.
Convincing is the Name of the Game: Your fake death cannot have even the slightest hint that it was not real. If you want to go the extra mile, leave a note by your bed that reads, "I really murdered this person. There was blood from it but this person had invisible blood. His/her last words were, 'Leave $500 in the mailbox every Wednesday night in my memory.' From: The real murderer."
Do It with Style: This is your chance to "go out" in a blaze of glory. If your death doesn't involve fireworks, Ferraris, free buffalo wings, a ton of hunks and babes, and the Bob's Big Boy mascot, go back to the drawing board.
Grim-Reap the Benefits: If you did a good job, then you have fooled the universe and are now immortal. Enjoy a life of jumping off buildings to prove a point and watching everything you love slowly decay into entropic nothingness. Also, you now get 15% off all submarine sandwiches.
