Seeing live music can be a transcendent mind-body experience, akin to getting a tattoo underwater or making out during an eclipse. Transcend boredom with today’s Groupon: for $9, you get two tickets to Dueling Pianos at one of two locations (a $20 value). Performances are held Friday and Saturday nights; doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the sonic showdown beginning at 8:30 p.m. If you make a dinner reservation with this Groupon (offered from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.), you’ll also receive a complimentary appetizer of homemade chips and dip. Purchase one of the following Groupons:

•AMC Plaza, Vaughan, Ontario
•Longo’s Plaza, Oakville, Ontario

The high-energy piano throw-downs pit two well-versed pianists and their four nimble hands in the ultimate battle for spontaneous musical domination. Two sets of ivories face one another, fully equipped with microphones and fun-loving musicians who’ll take requests from the audience and trade instruments, insults, and spouses, all while performing an eclectic mix of tunes on command. A full dinner menu is available before the show ($29.99 per person) in addition to a show menu available after 9 p.m. If you make your reservation for dinner before the show, you’ll get a complimentary appetizer serving of the chips and dip, loaded with fresh, house-made potato chips and a signature sauce in which, it is advised, the chips are to be dipped (a $7.99 extra value).

The lively shows often evolve into interactive sing-alongs, so bring your adventurous spirit and etiquette advisor for a night on the town. Call ahead for reservations.

Review: DealFind, Groupon, LivingSocial, TeamBuy and StealTheDeal Daily Deals of the Day Sites

If you’ve never bought from DealFind, Groupon, TeamBuy, StealTheDeal, LivingSocial or any of these daily deals sites before, I can verify that they are 100% authentic and legitimate. I have bought dozens of deals from each of these group buying sites and have already used a lot of the vouchers/ coupons at a bunch of different places and have never had any problems. If you don’t believe me, you can always call the featured businesses directly and ask them to confirm the deals yourself.

I too questioned the validity of these websites when I first heard about them. They almost sound too good to be true. How can they get local businesses to offer such incredible deals? We’ll, they are able to do so by promising to send these businesses hundreds or thousands of new customers. This new group buying power is the hottest trend in 2010.

You can usually save up to 50-90% off local restaurants, spas, shopping, salons, events and more. I was finally convinced after I bought a couple vouchers and used them and after reading the following article: Forbes recently named Groupon one of the fastest growing companies ever!

It’s fun and exciting watching how many people take advantage of the Deal of the Day sometimes. It’s very common to see a couple hundred or thousand people in each city take advantage of the daily 1-day sales. The record that I saw was over 12,000 people buying a voucher to a Go-Karting place in Vancouver and over 22,000 people buying a 50% Off Gap voucher in Chicago. DealFind,  Groupon, TeamBuy, Steal The Deal and Living Social continue to amaze me with some of their HOT Deals.

Discovering these sites have changed my life. It’s allowed me to discover, try out, and support many local businesses that I would have never heard of or had the chance to visit. It makes it so much easier and more enjoyable being able to visit these places when you’re getting 50% Off or more thanks to all these Deal of The Day websites.

So, if you haven’t tried Deal Find, Groupon, TeamBuy, StealTheDeal, LivingSocial or any of these other Daily Deals sites, you’ve been missing out big time!

1955 Queen St. E, Toronto, Ontario

Beach Bird serves up a large and varied menu of fresh fare made in-house daily. Start a weekend off with a hearty bacon and cheddar frittata ($9), or savour spoonfuls of the sorbet waffle, a pillowy delight with a scoop of raspberry-mango sorbet in the company of a caramel-banana sauce ($9). The multi-page dinner menu offers small and meal-sized salads ($7–$14), warm and filling sandwiches ($9+), hand-built burgers ($9+), pizza ($11+), pasta ($12+), rice and noodle dishes ($12+), bacon-scented puppy kisses (market price), succulent seafare ($10+), and traditional carnivorous entrees ($15+). The tender veal marsala with roasted potatoes and vegetables ($16) could enhance the senses enough to allow diners to taste through walls, an especially useful skill when partitioned off from Beach Bird’s 12 oz. grilled strip-loin steak with cognac-peppercorn demi-glaze ($21).

The Beaches Park–area eatery boasts a bright and open décor, with blond-wood flooring, brunette-wood tables, and rich leather banquettes that line the walls of the dining room. A colourful mural of a tropical-beach scene decorates one wall and will prove helpfully distracting to a petulant pack of children eagerly anticipating their kids-sized meal ($7).
