Greg Moore Raceway

http://theracelab.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $99, you get 20 laps around a full racecourse and an instructional briefing (a $199 value) at The RaceLab in Chilliwack.

The RaceLab provides Vancouver-area thrill junkies an outlet of fast-paced kart racing with professional instruction and high-powered vehicles. The geared karts forgo the typical lawnmower engine in lieu of a 28hp, two-stroke Italian machine capable of reaching 130 km/h, allowing grass cutters around the nation to rumble a sigh of relief. To complement the speed of the four-wheeled frames, racers trace the lines of the Greg Moore Raceway, garnering adrenaline as minivans look on with bitter jealousy. Before embarking on the 20 lap vision-blurring ride, a professional instructor briefs Formula One–inspired karters on proper handling procedures for their vehicle. Racers must be at least 16 years of age to participate, and all customers must make a reservation.

Tapenade Bistro cloaks each experience in a tasty tapestry woven from fresh Ocean Wise-compliant seafood, threaded with French and Mediterranean influences and brocaded in idyllic views of Steveston’s charming fishing fleet. The bouillabaisse ($19 for lunch; $27 for dinner), a stew of fresh fish, prawns, diver scallop, Salt Spring Island mussels, clams and shellfish, shows off chef Alex Tung’s talents for harmonizing flavors even as he elucidates them, while the coq au vin ($26), a Cornish hen accented in smoked bacon and fleur de Dijon spaetzle, will leave taste buds tingling with euphoria. Vegetarians can swaddle mouths with pillows of the gnocchi tapenade ($20), and a range of appetizers like beef striploin carpaccio ($11) and beet salad ($10) ensures that, unlike tipsy ballerinas, meals get off on the right foot. A six-page wine and drinks menu lists myriad choices for pairing entrees and plying imaginary spouses.

Ocean Breeze Spa
1025 Mainland St.
Vancouver, British Columbia
http://www.oceanbreezespa.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $75, you get microdermabrasion and a mini facial (a $155 value) at Ocean Breeze Spa, located on Mainland Street in the heart of Yaletown.

Ocean Breeze Spa stands as an oasis of indulgence for the modern urbanite. Even if you follow a rigorous skin-care routine, you likely lack the tools necessary to really probe into your pores and de-clog them from all the makeup, dirt, and gunk trapped inside. Ocean Breeze’s mini facial can help silkify canvas-coarse skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, tautening the dermis, and getting rid of bothersome blackheads in one soothing swoop. If you’d like a treatment targeting your specific needs, an upgrade to a customized facial is available—just apply the value of the Groupon and pay the difference. Today’s package also treats spa-goers to a microdermabrasion treatment for a velvety visage clear of dull, freeloading dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion revamps worn countenances with micro crystals that diminish visibility of sun damage, acne scarring, and inconsistent pigmentation. In addition to your mini facial and microdermabrasion treatment, you’ll get a 20 per cent discount off any hair service purchased on the same visit.

Today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a one-hour golf lesson in a TruGolf 3D simulator at 3D Golf Performance (a $125 value). The TruGolf 3D Simulator at this Coquitlam golf training centre uses sound and optics to precisely track each student’s swing, translating the movements of his or her body and club into an easy-to-understand 3-D visualization that represents subtle variables such as club head speed, club face alignment, and body position. In a one-hour individual session, either James Heath, CPGA professional and operations manager, or certified golf pro and owner John Aasen, named Teacher of the Year in 2004 by the PGA of British Columbia, will use this information to help students tweak their technique, even matching their swing to a golf pro’s swing or celebrity mug shot from the simulator’s database. The simulator’s virtual practice arena also has dedicated areas for customized putting and target practice.

Founded in 1958, Vancouver Opera entertains theatre-goers with engaging mainstage productions, as well as educational and community programs. The current production of La Clemenza di Tito tells the story of the Roman Emperor Titus, who finds himself in the horns of a moral dilemma when Vitellia, the former Emperor’s daughter, sends her friend to kill him. Composed by Mozart in the last months of his life, this classic opera contains what are considered some of Mozart’s strongest uses of the female voice, as well as the stirring aria Parto, parto, ma tu, ben mio. Seats and 3-D opera glasses are assigned on a first-come first-serve basis.
