Gotham Writers' Workshop

Hair is like detailed knowledge of X-Files plotlines-while extremely useful, revealing too much of it in the wrong place can sink your social life. Abduct rogue hairs with technology invented by a shadowy group of elites known only as the Syndicate with today's Groupon to CAMEO Surgical Center in Islandia. Choose from the following options:

• For $99, you get six laser hair-removal sessions on a small area (a $594 value).
• For $129, you get six laser hair-removal sessions on a medium area (a $774 value).
• For $179, you get six laser hair-removal sessions on a large area (a $894 value).
• For $499, you get monthly laser hair-removal treatments on two areas for twelve months (a $3,000 value).

CAMEO'S board certified surgeon Scott M. Blyer, MD oversees hair-removal procedures performed with Sciton lasers, which aims to diminish or permanently remove unwanted body fuzz. During each 15- to 20-minute session, a long-pulse, high-energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin and directly targets follicles, effectively treating unwanted hair. Unlike the lasers utilized by popular film hero and 2010 California gubernatorial hopeful Iron Man, these friendly beams are easy, don't damage surrounding tissue, and treat hair follicles faster than other methods.

Dr. Blyer's professionalism has garnered a plethora of commendations such as the New York State Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Award (2000) and the American Association of Oral Biologists Award (2000), while his personable business practices and refreshing mint-flavored breath have garnered him the Patients' Choice Award four years in a row since 2008. Clients reading up on current cosmetic practices may stumble upon some of his work in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery.

Dartboards and pool tables let bar-goers channel their deep love of physics and geometry, which was previously requited only by adorning cocktail napkins with complex proofs and filling televisions with Mathletes championships. Test burger velocity with this Groupon.

Exquisite Lizard keeps motors running until midnight all week with creative burgers, meat-filled sandwiches, and pasta swimming in creamy sauces. Flatware-less fare, ranging from french-bread pizza to boneless buffalo wings, refuels patrons in between rounds of pool and darts, or two-handed diners can heave the Mega burger, with its chapeau of sauteed mushrooms and onions, toward awaiting taste buds. A frothy slate of draft beers, including Blue Moon and Samuel Adams, extinguish mouth fires while patrons root for their favorite baseball player or congressional witness from a quartet of television screens.

Metro Art & Frame

As the recession deepened, Metro Art & Frame owner Bo Okuyan found that demand never slackened for one market of art collectors: parents. Mr. Okuyan's business savvy caught the attention of the New York Times' Michael Winerip in 2010, who noted that a steady supply of finger paintings and crafts had caused Bo to rethink his definition of art. "All kids are artists, that's how we look at it now," he said. Whether upgrading fridge-hung stick-figure portraits to a permanent gallery or framing a more traditionally priceless painting, Mr. Okuyan and his staff begin with a complimentary consultation, tailoring each project to fit home or office aesthetics and personal style. Metro Art & Frame's acid-free mats center photographs, oil paintings, or post-modern puddles of spilled milk in an ornate, gold-leafed frame or elegant black one. Five types of glass and two flavors of plexiglass guard sensitive paintings from light damage with UV protection, and the shop's selection of contemporary and classic prints lets patrons fill in the gaps in their home galleries.

The first moving picture, which depicted a horse running at full gallop, was quickly enhanced by the first special effects, which showed a horse exploding next to a 3-D spaceship.

With two admissions, the ticketholder can choose any movie and bring a date, a friend, or a Teddy Ruxpin with the batteries removed. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase in the theater's polite vending machines.

All too many adults experience dance only during wedding receptions and Employee of the Month award-acceptance speeches.

The legend of one of the American modern-dance pantheon's leading lights began a new chapter this season at the David H. Koch Theater, where the Paul Taylor Dance Company's characteristic musicality and joie de vivre flourish under the ornate, gold-paneled ceiling of the Lincoln Center landmark. Each performance assembles a unique program of moves harvested from Taylor's catalog of 136 dances and 36 strategies for winning at rock, paper, scissors. On March 16, "Gossamer Gallants" first flutters onto the New York stage with the playful insect mimicry that led the New York Times to declare it a "veritable hoot." Clad in bright green costumes complete with wings and antennae, female dancers assail their male counterparts and pollinate audience members' corsages with sprightly and sinister seductions to the jovial sounds of The Bartered Bride.

Among the host of other works, "Aureole," a Taylor classic that debuted 50 years ago, launches a graceful male solo to a baroque Handel soundtrack. A more martial air holds sway in "Company B," which captures the turbulence and jubilance swirling through the WWII era to the songs of The Andrews Sisters. With balconies that overlook Lincoln Center's fountain and plaza, the David H. Koch Theater complements the dancers' lyricism with its own grandeur.

In today's world, people can no longer rely on court jesters to check meals for poison or retell Hamlet as a family comedy. Enjoy the versatility of more contemporary performers with today's GrouponLive deal to see comedian and writer Orny Adams perform at Levity Live in West Nyack, New York. For $10, you get one general-admission ticket to a show (up to a $23.50 value, depending on the show); doors open 45 minutes before the show. Choose from the following performances:

Levity Live welcomes audiences with open arms to enjoy national and international talents. Sweeping March with a fertile broom of bristling jokes, comedian Orny Adams takes the stage for six performances of unfiltered hilarity, transmogrifying frowns with disarming charisma, a bombastic demeanor, and the timing of a safecracker with a necklace of sports watches. Boston native Adams has burrowed himself in the ear-homes of millions with his notable work as a writer on comedy mainstay The Tonight Show and appearances on The Late Show and in the Jerry Seinfeld documentary Comedian. His unpredictable standup routine is prop-free, striking a nerve instead with relatable observational humor delivered with electrifying physical energy and vocal intensity.

Though not included in today's Groupon, attendees can fuel laughing fits with a menu of zesty of pub fare. Induce flame-roaring guffaws with a jalapeño fillet steak ($21) before cooling down with a frozen fruit bar ($7).

Essex Fashion Optical

Staffers at this trendy eyewear shop stock their shelves with hundreds of chic designer frames from Gucci, Michael Kors, Ray-Ban, and Maui Jim.

An alternative to bifocals, Varilux digital progressives correct near, far, and hindsight vision.

High-tech options include computer lenses and Transitions, which morph from clear to tinted to instinctively shield eyes from sunlight or 3-D romantic movies. The store abuts a quality eye-care office, where a trio of board-certified ophthalmologists performs routine exams as well as LASIK and other eye surgeries.

Without teeth, tongues would slither out of mouths and go on to lead unfulfilling lives catching raindrops and licking strangers' faces. Keep a stir-crazy taste muscle contained in a gleaming cage with this Groupon: for $59, you get a dental-care package at the dental practice of Clara M. Hyun, D.M.D., located in West Orange (a $285 value). The package includes:

• A preventive dental exam
• X-rays
• Cleaning

Dr. Clara M. Hyun draws on 30 years of experience and a degree from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine to bolster smiles of all ages. Dr. Hyun's friendly, caring staff greets patients in four languages, including Korean, Russian, and Spanish, in order to clearly convey the warm feelings of welcome often lost during the all-staff interpretive dance. During one-hour preventive exams, either Dr. Hyun or her associate, Dr. Elikashvili, will carefully inspect the mouth for signs of cavities or gum disease before employing an x-ray machine to pinpoint potential problems hiding below the tooth surface. Plaque and tartar then flee during a gentle cleaning, which helps ward off ailments such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

Nervous patients can put their dental fears to rest throughout treatment by unwinding with complimentary NuCalm technology, which pairs chewable, adrenaline-countering tablets with gentle FDA-cleared microcurrent stimulation. Light-blocking sunglasses help minds stay relaxed by blocking visual stimuli, and soothing music floods ears with peaceful sounds rivaled only by the sweetest of conch-shell lullabies.

Beauty by Rachel

After quickly setting up a private tanning tent to keep healthy glows from spreading to furniture, Isaacson airbrushes organic, skin-tinting ingredients onto human canvases.

The carefully applied hue lasts up to seven days or longer, depending on time spent exercising, showering, or living in an air tunnel.

Robert Frost could have used a local guide when he decided to take the road less traveled by, as he discovered only too late that it was patrolled by feral park rangers. Learn how a tour guide makes all the difference with today's Groupon to OnBoard Tours. Choose between the following options:

OnBoard Tours' NY See the Best! Tour reveals the wonders of New York City during a three-hour whirlwind excursion highlighting Manhattan's most iconic and beloved attractions. Beginning just north of Times Square, the bus rolls through the glass-and-steel mountain range's concrete valleys past sights such as Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral, stopping periodically so that passengers can hop out to take photos and read the bronze plaques' mysterious hieroglyphics. Further downtown, the economic grandeur of Wall Street complements the proud tradition of City Hall, and the Statue of Liberty charms hearts with her stirring, stoic expression and waving kerchief. Throughout the tour, an erudite guide spins quick tales of the city's history punctuated by nuggets of trivia on architecture and culture.

Unlike a puppy-dog tail, a broom, or an altercation with the dog about whose turn it is to sweep, hair isn't meant to be bristly. Smooth things out with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

Two-hour treatment relies on a protein to strengthen the hair shaft, leaving manes smoother and easier to style for approximately eight weeks.

Four- to five-hour treatment aims to permanently alter the texture and shape of hair, transforming curls and waves into straightened strands.

Beauty SQ

At Beauty SQ, hairstylists, massage therapists, and aestheticians administer a wide variety of treatments aided by OPI and BSQ gel polishes, naturally derived Aveda products, and deluxe Bumble and Bumble haircare serums. Licensed therapists ease muscles with Western- and Eastern-style massages, such as deep tissue, acupuncture, herbal reflexology, and Chinese tui na, a technique similar to Swedish massage that aims to positively redirect chi, or energy, throughout the body. Aestheticians create tailored weight-loss packages by combining targeted massage with other treatments, such as body wraps or facials administered prejog.

A night 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 it up with today's GrouponLive deal to see "New York Pastoral", presented by the Astoria Symphony. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get one general-admission ticket (a $20 value).

With a crack team of music-makers drawn from throughout the tri-state area, the Astoria Symphony performs thrilling renditions of classic symphonic works under the practiced baton of maestro and composer Silas Huff. Evenings kick off with Brahms's Haydn Variations, masterfully exploring the eponymous composer's tunes with a playful counterpoint and a rousing finale. Cellist and frequent celebrity collaborator Andrew Janss brings what the New York Times has described as a "smooth, singing tone" to Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, contrasting the composer's typically colorful orchestration with the austere constraints of the classical style. Finally, Beethoven's Symphony no. 6, Pastoral, recalls a walk through the countryside with music evoking a thunderstorm, a peasants' song, and a companion complaining about missing the MAS*H marathon.

Though the human mind longs for flight, the human body craves the soothing foot massages of gravel driveways. Get your feet off the ground with today's Groupon from Zip Aviation. Choose between the following options:

• For $112, you get a one-way helicopter flight for one from Westchester to Manhattan (a $360 value).
• For $169, you get a round-trip helicopter flight for one between Westchester and Manhattan or a one-way helicopter flight for two from Westchester to Manhattan (a $720 value).

Zip Aviation's professional celestial chauffeurs whisk patrons to and from the New York skyline upon the cushy seats of state-of-the-art Bell helicopters during zippy 15- to 18-minute commuter flights. Big Apple-bound visitors can begin a city vacation or workday by soaring above the Bronx and the sparkling skyline of Manhattan at 120 miles per hour. When not poring over last-minute presentation notes, passengers can capture pictures of landmarks such as Central Park, the Empire State Building, and Yankee Stadium, where they can wave to fanatical off-season crowds and savor the lingering scent of tragically out-of-reach sausages. Upon request, a souvenir photo can commemorate the jaunt through the clouds.

Splurging on a facial is occasionally necessary if humans expect their skin to behave well in public and continue to spoon them at night. Put your best face forward with this Groupon.

$50 for Choice of 60-Minute Facial (a $110 Value)

Customers can opt for an herbal, pearl, fruit, gold, or chocolate facial, depending on skin needs and concerns. Antioxidant-infused fruit facials blend 18 different fruit extracts to tone skin, tighten pores, and help clients to get along with any type of yogurt. The herbal option enriches skin with almond oil and ginseng root with the goal of brightening skin, moisturizing, and smoothing out uneven textures, and the gold option aims to hydrate skin and boost cellular production.

Though Salon on 1 sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Salon on 1

Salon on 1 welcomes guests into a casual, bright habitat dressed in sage green and buttercream paneling and enhanced with fresh plants. To further refine guises after facials, makeup application, and nail services, the staff specializes in eyebrow threading-freeing clients from any painful plucking or desperate searches for a Bert costume to match unibrows.

Light comes in many forms-be it beautiful, like a rainbow, practical, like a laser, or awe-inspiring, like an applause sign's first live studio performance. Harness the beautifying power of light with this Groupon to Sensitive Touch Medical Spa. Choose between the following options:

• For $799, you get six Zerona laser treatments (a $2,000 value).
• For $1,199, you get six Zerona laser treatments (a $2,000 value) and two SmoothShapes treatments (an $800 value; a $2,800 total value).
  
  

The staff at Sensitive Touch Medical Spa employ laser energy to help shrink corporeal circumferences by an average of 3.5 inches during Zerona sessions and help pummel cellulite during SmoothShapes treatments. Zerona clients relax beneath a beam-slinging apparatus for 40 minutes as it glides low-light lasers over their waistline, back, hips, and thighs, emulsifying adipose tissue so fat can sneak its way out of the body. The disintegrated lipid depots can then be absorbed by the body's obsessively tidy lymphatic system and expelled through the body's natural detoxification process and complex system of water slides. The FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment requires minimal recovery time.

Each 20-minute SmoothShapes treatment pairs lasers with massage techniques to reduce cellulite, which typically forms when fat cells near the skin's surface outgrow their collagen casings. Sensitive Touch Medical Spa's technicians perform the treatment sessions over the span of two weeks. Patients can boost results with healthy eating habits, daily exercise, and regular hydration. Like sumo-wrestling costumes, caffeine and alcohol decrease the procedure's potency.

Live music is a huge improvement on canned music, which takes up valuable pantry space and often spoils into noxious free jazz. Keep it fresh with this GrouponLive deal to Drom in the Village. For $28, you get a tango outing (a $69 value) that includes the following:

• One ticket for general admission
• A tango lesson with a professional instructor and live band
• A Latin dinner with chicken, potatoes, rice, and beans
• A rose for every lady in the room

Choose from the following shows:

• Thursday, March 1, at 6 p.m. or 8:30 p.m.
• Friday, March 2, at 6 p.m. or 8:30 p.m.
• Saturday, March 3, at 6 p.m. or 8:30 p.m.

Three sets of lively Latin artists join forces with an acclaimed tango instructor to set toes tapping inside the exotic global enclave of Drom, which the Village Voice voted Best New Dance Club of 2011. On March 1, the Pereya, Teubal & Barenboim Tango Trio marries traditional Argentine tango with jazz harmony through whimsical clarinet, sultry piano and the powerhouse pipes of crooner Pablo Pereyra, spurring guests to sweeping romantic gestures such as proposing at a PTA meeting. Lightning-fingered Gustavo Casenave spiritedly tickles the ivories alongside the deep thumps of Pedro Giraudo's soul-shaking standup bass on Friday, and Saturday sends a pulse through the room with the tango of Amapola Dry.

For the first hour of each program, tangoists dive into a Latin dinner of chicken, rice, beans, potatoes, and salad set under the shimmering light of the Turkish chandelier. At evening's end, a rose for each lady present lets dates know they are loved and provides a gourmet lunch for their pet bumblebee at home.

Aside from skincare, the only way to look young is to cut the eyes out of your grade-school photo and wear it as a mask. Get a glossy finish with this Groupon: for $349, you get the Pixel Perfect skin-resurfacing treatment (a $1,500 value) at LaseRx Medical Aesthetic Center located inside Edge Salon on the second level of Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City.

At LaseRx Medical Aesthetic Center, Dr. Mauer rejuvenates vexed visages of various skin types with the high-quality Pixel Perfect skin-resurfacing treatment. Prior to the appointment, the physician preps facial regions with Lidocaine, then beams away sun damage, acne scars, and wrinkles in the forehead's time-space continuum. An Alma laser targets problem areas, gently reducing their appearance or smoothing them away with minimal discomfort. Most clients experience a recovery period ranging from 3 to 10 days, during which the skin may appear sunburned. Once the initial skin tone fades, the effects of the treatment can last for up to 12 months.

Although droopy eyelids can make faces look weary, they also make it easier for humans to sneak into bloodhound-only poker matches. Ditch your gambling habit with today's Groupon.

$1,499 for Upper-Eyelid Surgery (a $4,500 Value)

Upper-eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, rids eyes of the sagging skin that creates an aged, fatigued look. Dr. Victoria Karlinsky makes small, precise incisions that rid men and women of excess eye-area muscle and tissue, fatty deposits that make upper eyelids look puffy, and loose skin that folds above the eye.

New Look New Life Surgical Arts

Dr. Victoria Karlinsky looks for ways to restore patients' self-confidence through cosmetic surgery. After training alongside expert bariatric surgeons, Dr. Karlinsky learned the art of weight-loss surgeries and lifts. Dr. Karlinsky's attention to detail extends to her facelift, eyelid, ear, and lip surgeries as well and also accounts for her winning streak in pickup games of Simon Says. Each procedure takes place after patients explain their beauty goals in a one-on-one consultation and Dr. Karlinsky maps out a viable route to achieve them. Dr. Karlinsky brandishes board certifications in both general and cosmetic surgery and can communicate to clients in English, Russian, or scalpel charades.

It's nice when no matter what decision you make, the end result is a smaller you. Slim down as you wish with your choice of treatment for $45 from Yin Beauty Arts & Spa, an Upper West beauty haven and New York Magazine Critic's Pick. Select from a slimming massage, lipo slimming therapy, and pressotherapy. Each treatment is customized to the individual and involves different methods of applying pressure to the body to slim you down while smoothing and reducing fat and cellulite.

Lipo slimming therapy is a noninvasive and safe procedure providing both inhale and exhale air pressure massage to reduce and smooth fat and cellulite. This treatment provides lymphatic circulation to help relax muscle spasms and increase blood flow to the body while stimulating collagen production resulting in inch loss and skin tightening. Pressotherapy is a mechanized lymphatic drainage technique that fights water retention by applying intermittent compression on one or more parts of the body. The body then naturally expels toxins, excess water, and waste products. It's an ideal treatment for cellulite prevention and reduction.

Ordinarily, we wouldn't suggest approaching a barking dog, at least not with the intention of having a scrumptious dinner. But the Barking Dog at 94th St. isn't ordinary, so approach and eat away with a three-course dinner for two plus wine for $39. That's all thanks to today's doggie-loving kgbdeal. Have yourself one delish meal at this laidback luncheonette decked out in a canine theme that includes doggie watering fountains. Come hungry and enjoy two big salads (up to $8.95 in value each), like the Greek or Portobello Mushroom salads; then sink your teeth into a hot, homemade entree like Old Fashioned Yankee Pot Roast, Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon, or N.Y. Sirloin Steak (up to $22.95 in value each). Leave room for ice cream (up to an $8.95 value), and complement the entire meal with a bottle of wine (up to $28 in value). In this case, the bite really is bigger than the bark.

It can often feel like your body is the enemy. After all, no one who claims to be a friend would stick a big, blue, bulging vein smack on your thigh if they liked you. Luckily, we've got a friendly way to take care of spider, varicose, and other unsightly veins. Love your body once again with a single sclerotherapy session for the legs or laser vein therapy for face and legs for $89 at Orchid Aesthetics Med Spa, thanks to today's kgbdeal.

Opt for sclerotherapy, a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose and spider veins that involves the injection of a solution directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to stick to itself with compression. In response, the veins are reabsorbed and they are no longer visible. Choose laser vein therapy instead, using BBL treatment, which works by generating beams of light onto a specific site of the body. The light is absorbed by the red blood cells that carry oxygen and the melanin, and causes the destruction of unwanted cells and leaves the healthy cells in the body. Either way, you'll be on the road to being vein-free in no time and friends with your body once again.
