$10 for $20 Worth of Upscale Café Fare at Caffe Fresca in Metairie
Breaking bread is a bonding experience, encouraging new friendships while testing the strength of communal sledgehammers. Swing into sustenance with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of upscale café fare at Caffe Fresca in Metairie. Caffe Fresca’s recently remodeled dining area contains hungry diners as they choose from a hearty menu of creative sandwiches, salads, and entrees. Sandwich sojourns can commence with the portobello deluxe, showcasing grilled mushroom gussied up with eggplant, onions, and cheeses on eight-grain bread ($12), or the greek grilled chicken, whose Aegean dressing evokes Mediterranean flavors and memories of squatting in the local-history museum’s antiquities wing ($13). Center cut prime filets are served fresh from the grill ($29), and the 8 ounce Fresca burger stacks up on plates with layers of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and cheese inside of a kaiser bun ($8). Daily soups ($4 for a cup; $6 for a bowl) satisfy calendars and cold mouths in varieties such as baked potato, chicken and sausage gumbo, and red bean. Seafood combo platters deliver a triumvirate of butterflied shrimp, farm-raised catfish, and crawfish cakes ($17), and the 10-ounce center-cut pork chop with creole mustard glaze is, like an entitled robbery suspect, grilled to order ($17).

Activity Package for Two or Four at Safari Quest Family Fun Center in Hammond
Getting your family together for a game of laser tag is an easier way to keep track of the kids than ear tagging, which requires tranquilizer guns.

Good-natured warriors harness beams of light as spectacularly as a shadow-puppet production of My Fair Lady while doing battle on the laser-tag course. Replicas of towering coconut trees beg to be climbed nimbly, and pool-bound human-sized hamster balls allow patrons to walk across water or orchestrate delicate twirling ballets. Arcade tokens open the doors to a sea of flashing lights and digital chirping that rivals a robot’s prom, and thundering ski-ball chutes bond visiting groups with friendly competition. A choice of pepperoni or cheese moves to the forefront of philosophical discussions as a large pizza sustains adventurous players, whereas soft drinks with unlimited refills erase the definition of the word parched.
