$10 for $20 Worth of Contemporary Indian Cuisine at Clay Pit in Addison

The first European explorers set sail with hopes of finding new, exotic spices to placate the palates of epicurious monarchs, but all they found were heaps of inedible gold. Pick up where they left off by broadening your mouth’s horizons with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of contemporary Indian fare at Clay Pit in Addison. In the dimly lit, draped confines of Clay Pit, fresh vegetables, meats, and spices team up to form an array of inventive Indian fare recommended by the Dallas Observer . The creative dinner menu sprinkles ancient recipes with modern flair, revving epicurean engines with appetizers such as curried mussels simmered in garlic, red wine, and a leak-free pan ($9.95). Basmati rice accompanies most house specialties, holding the hand of the Khuroos-e-Tursh as its cashews, almonds, pistachios, cream sauce, and chicken medallions ($15.95) make their journey from plate to mouth. On the outdoor patio, chefs tend to grillables such as malai kebab chicken breast ($14.95) in the tandoor, a traditional clay pit known for imbuing meats with smoky flavor so that they can imbue diners’ bellies with smoky flavor.

$20 for a One-Day Youth Summer Camp ($40 Value) or $32 for an Adult Paint Party ($65 Value) at Oil and Cotton

Painting with a friend can be a rewarding process, though there usually comes a point when one must surrender creative control of the tandem brush. Paint on separate canvases with today’s Groupon at Oil and Cotton . Choose between the following options: For $20, you get a one-day youth summer camp (a $40 value). For $32, you get a Paint Party for adults (a $65 value). Called “a go-to art spot for families” by City’s Best , Oil and Cotton and its experienced instructors provide technical and creative guidance for students young and old to paint, sculpt, and weave their ways toward aesthetic fulfillment.

Class focuses change each week—take a look at the calendar online for a glimpse of daily offerings. Join in with up to 20 other smock rockers for the adult Paint Party —a drawing, color-mixing, and canvas-caressing evening.

$12 for a One-Day Adult Ticket to the Ozarka Oklahoma City Nationals Drag-Boat Race on June 11 or 12 from OKC Motorsports ($24 Value)

Drag-boat racing is the maritime equivalent to drag-car racing, much like the stomach of a whale is the maritime equivalent to a trash can. Compare and contrast with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get a one-day adult general-admission ticket to the Ozarka Oklahoma City Nationals , produced by OKC Motorsports (a $24 value). The drag-boat race will take place at the Oklahoma River Boathouse District . Choose to use the one-day pass on either Saturday, June 11 or Sunday, June 12. Kids younger than 12 get in free. One of the nation’s largest drag-boat-racing competitions, the Ozarka Oklahoma City Nationals pits a string of specially designed top-fuel hydro boats against each other in a series of high-speed quarter-mile drag races. Unlike traditional drag-car racing, boats begin at a crawl before gunning their engines to toupee-toppling speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, nearly half the speed of light. A general-admission ticket grants you a cozy spot along the downtown river’s verdant thoroughfare, where you can take photos of the action while remaining relatively still in your lawn chair. Though not included with this Groupon, you can sate seafaring appetites with vittles from the event’s on-site vendors.
