Meat-free, lava-free options are offered daily, and prices are based on number of items ordered, starting at $6 for a single serving or $10 for two servings. Included in this deal is a fresh, tart basil-lychee lemonade, an ideal treat to balance your meal, kick-start your qi, and brighten up your stomach lining with a citrusy power-wash.

Building your custom canvas print is a fast and easy process with the Canada-based business, just like eating a Tootsie Pop. First, choose the layout with one, two, three, or four panels. Then upload any image (TIFF, JPEG, and PNG formats) from your computer, camera, or brain—or choose to send in a physical picture to be scanned and converted into a work of art. Next, select the size and customize the print. Fine-tune your shot with optional chromatic alterations, or convert your picture into modern pop art or oil-painting facsimile or apply other advanced effects for an additional fee. Pricing varies depending on frame style and size, but it starts at $35 for an 8″x10″ with no frame. Create a mural-sized 24″x72″ portrait ($227.76 with no frame) or plump up a bitsy snapshot with a black wood frame (starting at $78.68). View a complete list of prices and potential configurations here.

CanvasPop’s interactive approach to art passes the creative torch back into the fireproof eye of the inhabitant. Instead of sifting through awkward teen-idol posters or trying to understand someone else’s strokework, personalize your walls with self-snapped gems. Enshrine a favourite person, scenic wooded cottage, or picture of your wall for years to come with a customized dimensional masterpiece. Create a highly personalized gift that’s made to last with a high-quality, handmade print using eight-colour archival ink protected by a coat of UV-matte laminate. Shipping is not included in the value of this Groupon (usually a $14 flat rate), but customers can receive free shipping if more than one piece is ordered. As an additional perk, all Groupon customers can get 10% off the next order they place, and since CanvasPop is based in Canada, every order is duty and customs-fees free.

Try the caramel latte, made with Re-entry’s specialty caramel ($4.75), or the choc Americano, a classic Americano infused with scratch-made chocolate sauce ($3.25).

Re-entry’s subdued lighting, sleek counter, cozy booth seating, and futuristic artwork contribute to a hip, laid-back atmosphere. Stay a while, read a book, sip a cappuccino, and contemplate your next theoretical geometry proof in this comfortable and welcoming space.

A collaboration between composer John Estacio and librettist John Murrell, Lillian Alling depicts the story of a young woman who arrives in New York City from Russia in 1927 as an empty-handed immigrant. Steeped in mystery and haunted by a dark past, Lillian treks across North America in search of a man named Jozéf. Her expansive journey leads her to an eclectic assortment of characters and experiences, from a Norwegian farming community in North Dakota to a stint in Oakalla Prison Camp near Vancouver and into the heart of a BC “telegraph trail” lineman named Scotty. Based on legend and truth, this emotional tale of freedom, destiny, and courage is infused with the Canadian spirit and punctuated by Quebecoise soprano Frédérique Vézina’s moving performance.
