Cooking, like taking a pop quiz and defusing a bomb on national television, is often a source of stress. Disarm your hunger with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of sandwiches, seafood and more at The Bistro, located in the Marriott Courtyard San Antonio Riverwalk.
The aromas from The Bistro's diverse menu of sandwiches, fresh seafood, and herb-roasted chicken drift out to diners chatting on outdoor seating that overlooks the Riverwalk. Patrons can fashion a six-wing guitar for an appetizer jam session with a half-dozen wings slathered in a slew of sauces or let forks fall through delicate Maryland crab cakes ($23.50). Shower fresh greens and aged cheddar with an autumnal rain of cranberries and walnuts in the tart apple salad ($8.25) or eschew silverware like a bib model while devouring a sauerkraut-laden turkey Reuben on marble rye ($8.95). As courses vanish in puffs of mouthwatering smoke, skilled chefs pan-sear a fresh salmon fillet beside a steaming garden of green beans and potatoes ($17.50) and promote fruit collaboration with pieces of warm apple and cranberry cobbler ($5.25).
As the water rolls cheerily past, contented diners wander down a spiral staircase to the Riverwalk for a postmeal stroll or an early-morning crab walk.

The Groupon Guide to: Compliments
Compliments are a way of making a quick, superficial connection with anyone you meet at a party or a supermarket singles' mixer. Here are some tips for doling out tiny heaps of praise:
• A detailed, personalized compliment lets the subject know that you are interested in them. A detailed, personalized compliment about the subject’s excellent use of hand lotion lets him or her know that you’re too interested in them.
• It’s often said that flattery on the Internet is the sincerest form of flattery. Dedicate your life to giving a digital thumbs up to every online avatar or personal feeling expressed on the Internet.
• Complimenting someone in person is the best type of complimenting there is because it allows the person to return the favor by complimenting you on your new fanny pack or gratuitous shoulder iguana.
• Write a compliment on a piece of paper and hide it in the person’s backpack or jeans pocket. When the subject finds it, they’ll be freaked out by how thoughtful you were.
• Start every date with a compliment. That way, even if the whole thing is garbage, you’ll at least always have that one moment.
• Animals have naturally low self-esteem, which is why they never evolved into humans. Help them feel better by complimenting every animal you meet until they develop the ability to reply, "How nice of you."
