Unlike cinematic love scenes, food can be enjoyed in the company of parents without embarrassment. Dodge future moments of uneasiness with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of paninis, pizzas, and non-alcoholic drinks at Blue Moon Café, located on Hay Street.

Blue Moon Café serves up a menu of enticing eats in a cozy atmosphere of families and foodies. The black-bean hummus appetizer greets diners flanked by a veggie and pita entourage ($8). Pizza-wooers can choose from a selection of pies such as the margherita pizza, topped with tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil, and marinara ($10). Smoked stacks of turkey in the Big Nice 'n Panini stand on layers of havarti cheese, basil pesto, and sun-dried tomato spread set into a focaccia foundation ($9). Though this Groupon cannot be used on alcoholic beverages, the café's vast selection of wines and specialty craft beers pleasantly accompanies digesting delights.

The alluring blue radiance emanating from Blue Moon Café invites famished feasters inside, while the outdoor patio's scenic view provides a bustling backdrop during the warmer seasons.
