The Company
Vero Bistro Moderne
209 10 St. NW, Calgary, Alberta

Vero Bistro Moderne serves up a menu of contemporary bistro fare in a sophisticated atmosphere. Starters get a running start with belly-warming bowls of bistro-style lobster bisque ($15), abuzz with the synchronized-swimming duo of two puff-pastry-crusted prawns. Leaf lovers can also try the fresh strawberry organic green salad ($13), a green meadow of goodness dotted with sunflower seeds, red quinoa, truffle-cheese croutons, and mandarin-sesame dew drops. Feast-worthy entrees include the Diamond Willow organic beef short rib ($32.50), braised for 72 hours and served with impatient, watch-tapping sides such as sweet-potato gnocchi, English peas, morel mushrooms, and roasted jus.

The well-educated and attentive staff can answer questions about the extensive wine list (glasses $8–$16) or engage in a rousing game of full-contact Trivial Pursuit. Modern décor with bright-red accent walls reflects the mood lighting and chic vibe. Vero also took home three towering trophies from the 2010 Sun and Salsa Festival in Kensington for best salsa, most creative recipe, and best presentation.

318A 10 Street NW, Calgary, Alberta

Box Paper Scissors stocks its colourful storefront with aesthetically appealing paper, greeting cards, and gifts for an array of worthy occasions. Pay homage to anniversaries with a card ($3.50–$8.95 on average) or make undervalued grocery lists scream with poetic power inside an Eccolo journal (most are $13.95–$29.95). The “Counts as a Vegetable” magnet ($6.19) reminds tomatoes and cucumbers of their misunderstood space in society, and a vast stock of stationery provides the parchment for thank-you notes, birthday wishes, and restraining-order requests.

Peruse the walls lined with stationery, gifts, and other various trinkets hiding within this cheery and fun shop. The helpful staff at Box Paper Scissors are a valuable resource for assessing the appropriateness of gifts and “get well soon” cards intended for mildly insane coworkers.

Let your valued memories let loose their musical screams with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get $80 worth of custom photo canvas prints from CalgaryOnCanvas.com, an online shop that transforms customers’ photographs into canvas-topping works of art. Shipping is not included in the value of this Groupon; however, if you spend more than $99, shipping is free.

Building a custom canvas print is a quick and easy art project, unlike reconstructing the Tower of Pisa with pipe cleaners. First, upload any image (in JPEG format) from your computer, camera, or subconscious memory to be converted into a work of art. Next, select the canvas you would like your picture to be formatted on. Pricing varies depending on canvas style and size, starting with $17 for an 8″x10″ flat print with a 1″ white border. Stretched and mounted across 3/4-inch wooden bars, the standard gallery-wrap print doesn’t necessitate a frame. Tons of sizes are available, including a 14″x11″ for $67 and a 24″x18″ for $118. After making your selections, simply go through the online check out, prepare any pre-existing wall art for its new baby sister or brother, and wait for the art-delivery stork.

CalgaryOnCanvas.com approaches art with an interactive attitude, providing an alternative to awkward teen-idol posters or overly symbolic paint blobs. Personalize your inner world with self-snapped memories of friends, family, and favourite pet ants or create a personalized anniversary gift with the high-quality textured canvasses.

“Ballroom with a Twist” Tour

1415 14 Ave. NW, Calgary, Alberta

In the days of old, ballroom dance-offs were the preferred method for picking out proper suitors, settling land disputes, and turning swag on. See the swagger of some of TV’s most swingable stars with today’s Groupon to the “Ballroom with a Twist” tour at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, located on 14 Avenue. The dance production takes place on October 12 at 7:30 p.m. Choose from the following options:

•$89 for one meet-and-greet ticket, which includes an opportunity to meet and take photographs with the stars of the show (a $179.85 value, including all online fees)

The “Ballroom with a Twist” tour, choreographed by Dancing with the Stars’ Louis Van Amstel, spotlights the masterful manoeuvres of Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, along with a star-studded ensemble of experienced twirlers and whirlers from various dancing shows. Passion and expertly executed excitement hover over the stage like invisible UFOs as celebrities such as Dancing with the Stars’ Edyta Sliwinska, Alec Mazo, Jonathan Roberts, and Damian Whitewood gracefully saunter and sway to the beat of beautiful music. Opt for the meet-and-greet ticket and get a chance to meet the stars of the show, take pictures, and cunningly convince one of them to be your personal life coach. Colourful costumes, lively music, and a chair with a view create an atmosphere that, like dinosaurs in 3-D, rivets the soul without forcing you to get out of your seat.

607 – 11th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta

The District beams with an unconventional charisma, furnished by a rustic look, an emphasis on local and organic ingredients, and the insistence on preparing in-house plenty of meats, brews, and more. Resist the urge to mull over a menu and examine the large chalkboards adorning the walls and illuminated with the day’s meal offerings, which are rotated at the chef’s will. Favourite plates include the house-cured and house-smoked bucket of bacon ($7.25), an aromatic, smoky, crispy filled pail that attacks all senses with the kind of catharsis that only bacon and bags of money can give. The delectable District burger overlays a block of juicy beef in the colours of tomato confit, caramelized onions, bacon, and white cheddar ($13.75). Mains such as the chorizo-sausage and sundried-tomato mac ‘n’ cheese ($15.50) and the fresh B.C. chanterelle mushroom and squash risotto ($16.95) greet shy stomachs like a grizzly bear best friend, with a cheery and nourishing hug. Pair your palate-pleasers with one of The District’s homebrewed potables such as the black pilsner ($6.25 for 20 oz.), a dark lager with medium body and a hint of coffee.

The principles underlying The District portray themselves visually in the pig-centric décor, wholesome wood furnishings, and exposed brick walls. The lively staff cures meats, prepares condiments, and curates cocktails all while displaying Canadian pride with their appetites and ingredients within this sparkling, pterodactyl-free environment.

This deal is not valid with other offers, including happy hour and other specials.
