A robust collection of magazines sends visitors a dual message: that you’re well read and that you have total confidence in the load-bearing properties of your coffee table. Stay in the know while vouching for your furniture with today’s Groupon: for $6, you get a one-year subscription to Chicago magazine (a $12 value). You will receive your first issue in four-to-six weeks.

Winner of numerous City and Regional Magazine awards, Chicago helps its 1.5 million readers maximize their understanding of, and time in, the Windy City. Its info-packed pages have insidery insights on where to chew your next steak dinner, where to find your next pair of jeans, and where to check out the city’s hottest avant-garde art exhibition, Meat Pants. The magazine covers its lakeside turf with a combination of monthly sections—such as Deal Estate, which keeps tabs on the town’s most compelling real estate trends and spotlights lavish manses and curvaceous geodesic domes—as well as fascinating feature stories covering local personalities and the city’s notorious political slapfights. Each year’s slate of readertainment also includes an array of special features, from a look at local Top Doctors to a Best of Chicago compendium that separates the cream of the crop from the rest of the crop, the spumefruits.

In addition to its pageable perks, Chicago assembles a host of blogs and other mouse-friendly resources at Chicagomag.com. And to ensure no one is left out of the loop on the Loop’s latest miming studios, today’s deal is available to new readers as well as to current subscribers who want to renew their literary allegiance.
