A recently discovered alternative to the indoors, going "outside" offers adventurous explorers exposure to things such as wind, sunshine, and naturally occurring saxophone outcroppings. Leave the indoors with today's Groupon: for $45, you get one admission to Forks & Corks, held April 7 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at CityScape in downtown Phoenix (up to a $75 value).

In its eighth year of festive gustation, Forks & Corks lines the outdoor forum at CityScape with gourmet vendors and delicious live jazz. The lineup features the creations of more than 30 top chefs from restaurants including The Arrogant Butcher, Flemings Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Bluewater Grill, each paired with tastings from boutique wineries and local microbreweries. Don some business-casual attire and explore the landscape face-first, with extrasensory enhancement provided by the jazz sax, vocals, and hands of Doc Jones and Naya. Forks & Corks guests can easily access CityScape's parking garage for the event (additional fee for parking) or take advantage of the nearby light rail, which provides a reliable, mechanical designated driver for all tippling patrons.
