A raw steak can reduce the swelling of a black eye just as easily as the charcoal markings of a well-cooked steak can draw it back on. Make artful use of cuisine with today's Groupon: for $30, you get $60 worth of steak-house fare and drinks for dinner at Portland Prime.
At Portland Prime, located adjacent to the Portland Downtown Embassy Suites, chefs pile plates with fresh Northwestern seafood and prime steaks, slide specialties into wood-fired ovens, and handcraft desserts in-house using locally sourced ingredients for a well-stocked menu. Engage appetites or girlfriends with house-cut sweet onion rings ($9), served with malted, caramelized onion ketchup, before swimming through the flavors of wild diver scallops ($27). Highly marbled steaks, aged a minimum of 28 days and hand-cut from USDA Prime beef, delight palates with tender juiciness in filet mignon ($39) form or as Prime baseball-cut top sirloin sporting a zinfandel juniper beurre rouge ($34).
The eatery’s expansive wine list, with 140 bottles and 40 wines by the glass, which helped it win the 2011 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, anoints parched tongues with fermented grape juice from across the globe. Mixologists at the Prime Bar sling locally crafted draft beers and vintage cocktails such as the lemon drop ($9) to encourage guests to do the bunny hop while live jazz caresses ear drums on Wednesday through Saturday evenings.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Being a Hero
Being a hero is more than just calmly walking away from explosions while tossing off clever quips. Here's how you can be a hero in your daily life:
Shout "Somebody call 911!" at the first sign of danger: Frankly, whoever actually dials 911 is just a middleman.
Help an old lady cross the street: Or help the old lady become a hero herself by making her cross the street on her own.
Turn off lights when you leave a room: Mother Earth believes in karma and will let you summon a volcano if you treat her right.
Become a schoolteacher: They're the real heroes.
Become a cop who, despite being too old for this line of work, blows up a zeppelin full of mobsters: They're the real, real heroes.
