Petit Robert Bistro

Petit Robert Bistro channels the relaxed ambiance of an authentic French bistro where common folk can gather for comforting, affordable fare. Blackboards bearing daily specials preside over the intimate eatery where renowned chef Jacky Robert prepares a menu of homestyle French favorites. Cape Cod oysters, sauteed scallops, and Bay-caught seafood spread across plates, and meat aficionados can fix fangs into chicken dishes or the beef short-rib bourguignon or branch out to cakes fashioned from vegan quinoa. Junior foodies peruse a kids' menu laden with pintsize French favorites, including a parisian hot dog and a 5-ounce skirt steak, with all proceeds going to chef Jacky's charity committed to feeding underprivileged children in the Philippines.

Mike's Food & Spirits

Patrons also sate hungers with Old World recipes such as the sausage cacciatore, where italian sausage mingles with peppers and mushrooms in a homemade marinara sauce, and a seafood platter that sets taste buds sailing with deep-fried haddock, shrimp, and scallops. Taps pour plentiful American microbrews and imports to accompany meals, assuage tongues exhausted from exploring flavorful sauces, and severely reduce one's chances of spontaneous combustion.

Explorers delve into Stonehenge's history, learning about its use as an accurately aligned astronomical calendar, its role in the Underground Railroad, and the theories about who actually built it. Nearby, eight fuzz-balls graze in the alpaca habitat, offering up skeins of yarn spun from their fluffy locks.

Thai, Caribbean, and Mexican ingredients exert influence upon savory appetizers such as the baja egg rolls, where spicy chicken leans in close to roasted poblano peppers and whispers confessions of its secret love. Once warmed up, stomachs welcome heaping bites of stuffed pork tenderloin, wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon and glazed with cranberry-apple cider. Pasta dishes, such as the bolognese with braised veal and pork swimming in house-made tomato sauce, buddy up alongside grilled Atlantic swordfish with lobster risotto to give dates topic for conversation and reconciling Huns bites to feed each other.

Soft, golden light sets sleek banquettes and dark wooden furniture aglow in the spacious main dining room, and warm weather heralds alfresco dining on 3's sunlit patio.

Go Platinum Salon and Spa's knowledgeable technicians--each with at least 15 years of hair-harvesting experience--meticulously blast away unneeded bodily fleece during laser hair-removal treatments. Armed with the Lumenis LightSheer Duet system, a medical staffer conducts a Pink Floyd-inspired laser light show across hirsute patches of skin as the device's vacuum technology helps beams penetrate deep into epidermal expanses. The concentrated rays of light absorb into the melanin in each follicle's root, quickly destroying strands at the source and preventing unsightly hairs from growing back. The advanced laser system's innovative design facilitates short treatment sessions (10-60 minutes on average), which result in no down time. The hair-removal process causes little to no pain, reducing the need for topical anesthetics or bops on the head from a cartoon wooden mallet.

Smoking-hot plates of crispy chicken basil excite tongues with a special chili brown sauce, whereas the rama garden's mixed vegetables coddle taste buds with a gentle peanut sauce. Sunshine Fine Thai Cuisine plays host to midday dalliances and nights on the town, and its armada of drivers delivers piping-hot panang to those comfortable at home or up to their ankles in fresh concrete.

Zen Zone Acupuncture and Spa, which was founded on traditional Chinese herbal medicine and holistic wellness philosophies, appoints a seasoned staff to oust unwanted body hair with the Candela GentleLase laser. After a complimentary consultation, technicians brandish the FDA-approved device, which aims beacons of pulsed light at offending fuzz. The laser heats skin deep below the surface to bust up strands at their roots. A nozzle spritzes a cooling spray onto skin to keep each patient as comfortable as a kitten napping in a fanny pack. Each treatment is fully customized according to clients' hair and skin types, and 6-10 sessions are generally needed to yield optimum results.

Inside the studio, aboutGolf simulators whisk clients away to digitally replicated versions of legendary courses, allowing them to hunt birdies amid the blustery seascape of St. Andrews or evade pixilated porpoises at Pebble Beach. Head golf professional Joe Pustizzi roams the center's grounds, divulging wisdom drawn from more than 30 years of experience and harnessing the simulators and other technological teaching aids to help clubbers on their path to lower scores and higher fives.

Unlike its cousin, shaved ice, snow can cause slippery driving conditions and only comes in one lackluster flavor: grape. Glide through snowdrifts with ease with today's Groupon to Lahout's Country Clothing and Ski Shop in Lincoln. Choose between the following options:

• For $30, you get any two one-day ski or snowboard rentals (a $60 value).
• For $40, you get any four one-day ski or snowboard rentals (a $120 value).

Continuing in the tradition of their forebears who founded the shop in 1920, the wintery wayfarers at Lahout's Country Clothing and Ski Shop outfit travelers with time-tested equipment to take to the snowy slopes of the surrounding mountains. Slippery-slope experts aid customers in selecting the ideal mode of transportation from brand-name skis and snowboards suited to each guest's level of experience and size of dorsal fin. After acquiring a mountainside steed, patrons can trundle up the nearby Loon Mountain, Cannon Mountain, or Bretton Woods to test gear on powdery inclines.

A daylong rental begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m., giving customers a full day to have wintry fun or test whether they can hold a conference call while skiing moguls. Groupon buyers can engage in incline-riding glory with friends or save each rental for personal trips from the top to the bottom of favorite mountains.

Now owned by Natale's son, Carlo, the store features custom men's suits, dress shirts, neckties, and more. Boston magazine lauded the retailer as having the Best Men's Clothing in Boston from 2001-2003, 2005-2008 and again in 2011, noting the smooth styles that lend themselves to suave boardroom entrances and effortless espionage. Loro Piana, Guabello, Reda, and other high-end materials make their way into formal suits and dress shirts, which store staffers stock in sizes 36 short to 60 long. Shoppers peruse two-button center-vent suits, double-breasted suits with side-vents, and three-button side-vent suits. Tailors sew semi- or full canvas into suit fronts to add longevity, and they provide complimentary alterations for life in case of weight loss or sudden third-arm growth.

Nothing can match the thrill of seeing a concert in person, not even watching it on high-definition Blu-ray or listening to it on a high-definition parrot. Get out of your cage with this GrouponLive deal to see the Boston Civic Symphony at Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory on Sunday, March 4, at 2 p.m. For $19, you get one ticket for seating in section A, which is highlighted in blue on the chart (a $38 value).

In its penultimate concert of the season, the Boston Civic Symphony sonically embraces ears with a pair of piano soloists, a local radio host, and an acclaimed soprano-all of whom lend their acoustical acumen to an afternoon bursting with masterworks. In Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra, husband-and-wife piano duo Randy Hodgkinson and Leslie Amper join maestro Max Hobart, who conducts the orchestra with a wonder baton he carved from a tree that was struck by lightning. The pair of pianists then lends their ivory-poking prowess to Saint-Saens's Carnival of the Animals, to which WGHB radio host Cathy Fuller narrates Ogden Nash's famous verses before the ornamental organ casework that frames the stunning stage. Just before the piece's finale, a rich cello ripples over The Swan.

In the afternoon's final piece, Maria Ferrante's voice cascades as a piercing soprano in Mahler's Symphony no. 4. Designated a National Historic Landmark, Jordan Hall boasts acclaimed acoustics that carom through a horseshoe-shaped layout. Additionally, a coffered ceiling with gilt moldings and semi-opaque skylights ramp up the elegance and allow audience members to stare back at the cloud that has followed them all day.

Like glaciers and tectonic plates, teeth are slowly yet surely on the move as they attempt to turn their host's mouth into frozen tundra and then rip it apart like a bite-size Pangaea. Defeat devious teeth with today's Groupon: for $2,700, you get a complete Invisalign orthodontic treatment at Starr Family Dentistry in Rockland (up to a $6,300 value).

Dr. Nancy H. Starr, who graduated from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in only three years and has been in practice for nearly 30 years, leads a team of experienced technicians at Starr Family Dentistry. Her Invisalign treatments eschew cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial 30-minute exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of the patient's mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift smiles into perfect alignment. Depending on the client's teeth, as few as 12 or as many as 48 separate aligners will need to be worn during a period of 6-15 months before the straightening effect finally self-actuates in a sudden burst of pink smoke and slobber. Aligners are only removed when eating, brushing, flossing, or modeling a finely clenched jaw. View some Invisalign FAQs here.

Cape Cod stay + golf and dinner

An afternoon at the symphony not only provides a lasting memory of refined musical prowess; it also keeps patrons from resorting to the boring routine of watching the TV boil. Mix up the routine with this GrouponLive deal to see "An ACB Preview Concert" by the Metropolitan Wind Symphony at Cary Hall in Lexington on Sunday, March 4, at 2 p.m. For $18, you get two general-admission tickets (up to a $36 value). Children aged 5-18 are regularly admitted for $6.

Music director Lewis Buckley headed the U.S. Coast Guard band and conducted several prominent New England symphonies before landing at the Metropolitan Wind Symphony, which has been tickling eardrums with woodwind, brass, and percussion concerts since 1971. "An ACB Preview" celebrates the 75-member symphony's invitation to play at the 2012 annual conference of the Association of Concert Bands with a sampling of the program they'll perform for a national audience. The concert kicks off with Percy Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy, which recasts six English folk songs as lush, wind-powered melodies free of interrupting Robin Hoods. Principal oboist Elana Lorance takes charge in James Kessler's Hudson River Rhapsody and a new transcription of Gershwin's An American in Paris ends the evening with Gallic-via-Broadway aplomb. Starting at 1:30 p.m., a preconcert talk by maestro Buckley unveils some of the music's hidden features and lets uncertain ears nuzzle the score.

The colonial-style Cary Hall ensconces guests in 18th-century elegance despite being built in 1928, with graceful Corinthian pilasters, authentic hardwood floors, and arched windows. Known for its excellent acoustics, the hall eschews the need for microphones or trained parrots to send sound to the back rows.

Though the Metropolitan Wind Symphony offers discounted tickets for students and seniors, today's Groupon offers the best deal available for all adult customers.

Inns on Bellevue

The century-old Inns on Bellevue consists of the Inn on Bellevue and Bellevue Manor. The Inn on Bellevue once housed famous silversmith William Fludders before being transformed into its current incarnation as a nine-room bed-and-breakfast, while the Bellevue Manor was recently renovated and features a large front porch facing Bellevue Avenue. Even as hoteliers update both of the inn's luxuries with in-room jacuzzis, free WiFi, and cyborg housekeepers, the decor harkens back to the eighteen hundreds with Victorian-style decor and furniture. Each guest room swathes sleepers in distinctive designs, including four-poster beds and Queen Anne antiques. The inns also features suites with kitchens for whipping up snacks or attempting to mold a statuette out of marshmallows, though stays include a free full breakfast daily with mimosas and European cafe for quick bites.

Guests take advantage of free on-site parking to make a five-minute sojourn to nearby beaches and famous Newport mansions. Both the Museum of Newport History and the Newport Art Museum sit within three miles of Inns on Bellevue, and fine-dining restaurants, shopping boutiques, and seals conspiring to invade the land are located just two blocks away on the downtown waterfront.
