Hour-Long Massage and Chiropractic Consultation

Among places to bandy about sports, bars are more appropriate than supermarket bins filled with basketballs or the ref’s son's birthday party. Put sportpinions in the proper venue with today's Groupon to Sport Restaurant & Bar – A John Howie Restaurant. Choose from the following options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of eclectic American fare. Choose between the following expiration dates:
  • Tuesday, May 29

The memorabilia-bedecked Sport Restaurant & Bar – A John Howie Restaurant silences grumbling stomachs with a menu that includes local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible. Cooks create the smoked barbecue Angus burger ($11) by dropping a hand-formed, applewood-smoked patty atop a toasted sesame bun with lettuce, pickled onion, and sweet-honey barbecue sauce. Like the crow of a late-rising rooster, the Rise & Shine burger ($13.50) toes the line between breakfast and lunch, sandwiching crispy hash browns, a fried egg, and a third-pound patty of ground bacon inside its brioche bun. Each bowl of Texas-style steak chili ($8+) brims with sweet onion, tomato, and tender morsels of beef and pork that the cooks simmer alongside five chilies and a dash of bottled magma. Thin-crust pizzas ($7.50+) emerge from the oven as crunchy as freshly mined rock candy and laden with meaty and veggie toppings.

In addition to the 39 televisions that hang throughout the restaurant, Sport Restaurant & Bar – A John Howie Restaurant also boasts historic displays of general and Seattle-centric sports memorabilia. The 500 Club display features an autographed baseball from each of the 21 MLB superstars with more than 500 career home runs and fewer than three career speeding tickets, including Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth. Commemorating almost 100 years of amateur, professional, collegiate, and Olympic sports history across four showcases, the Seattle Champions exhibit pays homage to hometown heroes, from the University of Washington's first football coach in 1907 to the Seattle Storm's championship seasons.

Though frozen yogurt's tangy swirls are best known for containing less fat than ice cream, they also form Antarctica's foundation. Dive into a palatable paradise with today's Groupon to Peaks Frozen Yogurt Bar in Bellevue. Choose between the following options:

• For $5, you get $10 worth of frozen yogurt and toppings ($0.44/oz.).
• For $10, you get $20 worth of frozen yogurt and toppings ($0.44/oz.).

Peaks Frozen Yogurt Bar's 10 dispensers dole out a rotating menu's worth of real frozen-yogurt flavors customizable with more than 40 toppings, such as candy and fresh fruit delivered daily. Glittering levers invite the curious to explore which flavor of yogurt hides behind each mechanical font as patrons fill their own cups with colorful swirls. Yogurt lovers find inspiration in a kaleidoscopic range of flavors, from chocolate-mint-cookie yogurt to cinnamon-touched apple-pie yogurt, the official patriotic dessert of America, the Netherlands, and the United Apple Emirates.

Active probiotic cultures infuse every drop of the creamy treats, aiding human insides in maintaining the proper balance needed for healthy digestion by keeping stomachs' keels even on the bodily balance beam known as the spine. Most yogurt flavors boast a complete absence of fats, while nonyogurt flavors, such as the strawberry-lemonade sorbet, eschew dairy to accommodate vegan and lactose-intolerant treat-seekers. After they've picked a flavor, patrons take confectionary treasures to the glass-ceilinged toppings bar, where diners bury their yogurt beneath a mountain of extras before digging it up once again with a spoon, much like a pirate who left his shovel on the boat.

Passengers soar above the azure mirror of Lake Washington, enjoying aerial liberty like a sparrow on parole alongside three to five companions. Safeco and Qwest Fields nestle sleepily among the resplendent urban landscape of downtown Seattle as stunned bird's-eye viewers gaze from their steely craft. Fishermen's Terminal and Ballard Locks unfurl below, framing an exhilarating fly-by of the Space Needle and eye-level scolding of Godzilla. For extra fees, guests can upgrade to 45-minute flights ($69 for groups of 3; $99 for groups of 5) or one-hour flights ($129 for groups of 3; $197 for groups of 5).

Once landed on the islands, tourists deplane for two hours to shop for souvenirs, savor the local fare, or snap pictures of sentient island garden gnomes before heading back toward the mainland.

Though Seattle Scenic Flights sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Spa retreats help soothe muscles sore from naps in uncomfortable chairs and long nights of aggressive rapid eye movement. Recover from relaxing with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get a two-hour spa package at Clara's Spa (a $200 value), located at the Courtyard Marriott in Tacoma. The package includes:

• A 60-minute champagne-and-rose detoxifying body wrap with custom massage.
• A 60-minute chocolate mani-pedi.

At Clara's Spa, clients are whisked into a 10,000-square-foot sanctuary of serenity replete with calming aromatherapy and soft candlelight. Limbs are cocooned in an organic body wrap infused with a light perfume of champagne and roses designed to woo toxins out of the body and convince them to elope. A licensed massage therapist's knowing fingers then seek out pockets of stress in a custom massage that includes a choice of head or foot massage, fishing out tension and tension's missing car keys and sending waves of relaxation rolling through taut muscles.

Gentle hands also daub on a shea-butter salve, which replenishes moisture and provides a velvety vehicle for vitamins and grapeseed oil that condition the skin. Taking care not to overlook oft-forgotten extremities, a chocolate mani-pedi begins as feet soak in a soothing bath and hands immerse themselves in warm paraffin wax. Mitts emerge supple and soft, ready to submit their nails to be filed and buffed, and heel calluses are sloughed away by a chocolate-scented scrub and massaged with a chocolate-scented lotion that leaves them silky, sweet-smelling, and worthy of display atop any wedding cake.

Inside this rustic, Italian-inspired spa, candles on wrought-iron sconces light the way to the ladies' or men's wing, where clouds of vapor and departing worries part to unveil soothing hot tubs and invigorating steam rooms. Located in the Courtyard Marriott, the spa also offers clients full access to the hotel's pool and gym. Blown-glass Chihully chandeliers dangle gracefully between the first and second floors, illuminating walls of tile hidden within a warren of cream-colored chambers and graceful, wrought-iron fixtures.

Artists prefer to paint still-life portraits of local fruits and veggies, as jet-setting produce usually refuses to pose unless given its own refrigerated trailer. Stock up on deliciously humble crops with today's Groupon for organic groceries from Full Circle. Groceries are available for pickup or delivery, though delivery may incur a $3 fee. Click here for a complete list of delivery areas and pickup locations. Choose from the following options:

Grown from a 5-acre kernel planted in 1996 under Mount Si, Full Circle now cultivates a community spanning more than 400 acres of local sources. Every season, the earth-tillers net a new harvest of lush fruits and vegetables, and a typical box might include rainbow carrots, mixed sweet peppers, or carefully de-gnomed crimini mushrooms. Another box might contain a salad mix of cut greens, ripe, red cherry tomatoes, or a pile of purple-skinned, orange-fleshed pluots, a startlingly sweet hybrid of plum and apricot. After signing up, greens-eaters can customize their orders with confidence.

The Full Circle process fosters benefits for all parties involved—customers can keep their healthy New Year’s resolutions by eating organically while supporting green farmers, whose eco-friendly practices create nutrient-rich produce, which will then be sold back to the customers, now dizzy from spinning. Groupon customers automatically receive a recurring subscription for future orders, which will be billed automatically unless canceled. Membership is flexible and can be canceled any time without penalty. Besides the cornucopia of seasonal, organic produce, membership grants access to treasure trove of artisan groceries, such as Fair Trade–certified Grounds for Change coffee, and local Moon Valley Raw Honey, dedicated to pursuing workers' rights within tyrannical beehive monarchies.

Movie theaters deliver an experience unavailable at home, giving people views of larger-than-life explosions and the chance to practice life-size shadow puppetry in front of an audience. Witness a high-resolution rendition of Hollywood with today's Groupon to see One for the Money The Movie, playing in theaters nationwide beginning January 27. This Groupon is valid for movie tickets offered through Hollywood Movie Money. Choose between the following options:

• For $6, you get one ticket (up to a $15 value).
• For $12, you get two tickets (up to a $30 value).
  
  

From the producer of Devil Wears Prada, One for the Money enshrines Janet Evanovich's best-selling 18-book mystery series on the big screen with a star-flecked cast and pulse-hiking display of fast-paced action-comedy. Katherine Heigl stars as street-smart Jersey girl Stephanie Plum, who, after losing her job, her car, and her ability to pronounce the word indemnification, takes up work as a bounty hunter at her cousin's bail-bonding firm. Perp hunting and handcuffing get personal when Stephanie confronts her former high-school flame and current bail-jumping murder suspect Joe Morelli, played by Jason O'Mara, dramatically altering the chemical composition of the screenplay with an infusion of volatile romance.

While dodging explosions and potentially rekindling her love life, Stephanie manages her tight-knit, meddling family and newfound career of crime fighting with razor wit and stubborn determination. Check out the trailer (below) for a taste of the film’s sizzling chemistry, fast-paced banter, and heart-pounding paperwork montages.

Prices for regular adult admission average $12 per person. Ticket prices vary by region and theater, and today's deal is valid for tickets to any participating theater. Participating theaters are subject to change.

Before the advent of cosmetic injections, people had no other way to appear younger besides pasting all of their high-school-yearbook photos together and wearing the results as masks. Graduate to smoother skin with today's Groupon to Seattle Medical Aesthetics. Choose between the following options:

• For $139, you get 20 units of Botox (up to a $280 value).
• For $159, you get a ViPeel anti-aging facial treatment (a $349 value).

The physicians and aestheticians at Seattle Medical Aesthetics cultivate more youthful complexions with cosmetic injections and prescription-strength chemical peels. Administered by a doctor, Botox injections target the creases between the brows that result from careers in facial origami. The injections contain a purified protein that impedes muscle activity, delivering skin-smoothing results that last up to four months. Clients typically report feeling only minimal discomfort during treatments, and they find themselves able to return to regular activity almost immediately.

To prepare for the ViPeel, clients participate in a phone consultation prior to their service. On the day of treatment, a skincare specialist coats mugs with a blend of TCA, retinol, and glycolic acid, which join hands chemically to form a medium-depth peel that exfoliates the skin. These prescription-strength ingredients also soften the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation, and an added dose of vitamin C brightens skin more than a forehead-mounted spotlight.

Botox may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening, including problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Read all safety considerations for Botox here.

Though Seattle Medical Aesthetics sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Seattle Medical Aesthetics a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.
