Inns on Bellevue
The century-old Inns on Bellevue consists of the Inn on Bellevue and Bellevue Manor. The Inn on Bellevue once housed famous silversmith William Fludders before being transformed into its current incarnation as a nine-room bed-and-breakfast, while the Bellevue Manor was recently renovated and features a large front porch facing Bellevue Avenue. Even as hoteliers update both of the inn’s luxuries with in-room jacuzzis, free WiFi, and cyborg housekeepers, the décor harkens back to the eighteen hundreds with Victorian-style décor and furniture. Each guest room swathes sleepers in distinctive designs, including four-poster beds and Queen Anne antiques. The inns also features suites with kitchens for whipping up snacks or attempting to mold a statuette out of marshmallows, though stays include a free full breakfast daily with mimosas and European café for quick bites.
Guests take advantage of free on-site parking to make a five-minute sojourn to nearby beaches and famous Newport mansions. Both the Museum of Newport History and the Newport Art Museum sit within three miles of Inns on Bellevue, and fine-dining restaurants, shopping boutiques, and seals conspiring to invade the land are located just two blocks away on the downtown waterfront.

$19 for Outing to the Boston Civic Symphony at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall on March 4 at 2 p.m. ($38 Value)
Nothing can match the thrill of seeing a concert in person, not even watching it on high-definition Blu-ray or listening to it on a high-definition parrot. Get out of your cage with this GrouponLive deal to see the Boston Civic Symphony at Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory on Sunday, March 4, at 2 p.m. For , you get one ticket for seating in section A, which is highlighted in blue on the chart (a value).
In its penultimate concert of the season, the Boston Civic Symphony sonically embraces ears with a pair of piano soloists, a local radio host, and an acclaimed soprano—all of whom lend their acoustical acumen to an afternoon bursting with masterworks. In Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra, husband-and-wife piano duo Randy Hodgkinson and Leslie Amper join maestro Max Hobart, who conducts the orchestra with a wonder baton he carved from a tree that was struck by lightning. The pair of pianists then lends their ivory-poking prowess to Saint-Saens’s Carnival of the Animals, to which WGHB radio host Cathy Fuller narrates Ogden Nash’s famous verses before the ornamental organ casework that frames the stunning stage. Just before the piece’s finale, a rich cello ripples over The Swan.
In the afternoon’s final piece, Maria Ferrante’s voice cascades as a piercing soprano in Mahler’s Symphony no. 4. Designated a National Historic Landmark, Jordan Hall boasts acclaimed acoustics that carom through a horseshoe-shaped layout. Additionally, a coffered ceiling with gilt moldings and semi-opaque skylights ramp up the elegance and allow audience members to stare back at the cloud that has followed them all day.

Each treatment is fully customized according to clients’ hair and skin types, and 6–10 sessions are generally needed to yield optimum results.

Citrus Spa & Salon

Sleek haircuts, smoothing treatments, and full or partial color revivify drab manes better than headbands made from repurposed clown-car pieces. Calming hot-stone and chakra-balancing massages depose muscular tension, and customized facials harness the exfoliating and cleansing power of plant-based solutions. Staff members can also combine massage modalities, such as reflexology and ayurvedic techniques, with a cleansing skin treatment to fully de-stress clients in accordance with Aveda’s rejuvenating philosophies. In the salon area, stylists post up behind striking black chairs that sprout from glossy, dark hardwood floors as red-orange walls punctuate the space’s neutral color palette like flaming umlauts.

$2,700 for a Complete Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment at Starr Family Dentistry in Rockland (Up to $6,300 Value)
Like glaciers and tectonic plates, teeth are slowly yet surely on the
move as they attempt to turn their host’s mouth into frozen tundra
and then rip it apart like a bite-size Pangaea. Defeat devious teeth
with today’s Groupon: for ,700, you get a complete Invisalign orthodontic treatment at Starr Family Dentistry in Rockland (up to a ,300 value).
Dr. Nancy H. Starr, who graduated from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in only three years and has been in practice for nearly 30 years, leads a team of experienced technicians at Starr Family Dentistry. Her Invisalign treatments eschew cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial 30-minute exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of the patient’s mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift smiles into perfect alignment. Depending on the client’s teeth, as few as 12 or as many as 48 separate aligners will need to be worn during a period of 6–15 months before the straightening effect finally self-actuates in a sudden burst of pink smoke and slobber. Aligners are only removed when eating, brushing, flossing, or modeling a finely clenched jaw. View some Invisalign FAQs here.

For lunch, the Mediterranean wrap’s layers of hummus, tabouleh, and romaine lettuce proffer vegetarian protein with a Middle Eastern twist (.25), and the Napoli focacccia sandwich’s artichoke hearts, pesto, and goat cheese deliver tastes of Italy without the need for lasagna-flavored postage stamps. Signature pastry selections such as a cherry bomb, a mass of sweetened ricotta dipped in a crunchy chocolate shell with a maraschino cherry in the middle (.50 for four), or classic Italian biscotti ( for six) snuff out sugar cravings like a fire extinguisher that sprays cotton candy. Linger over plates and continue conversations over flavored coffees and espresso drinks, which complement all of Wholly Cannoli’s eats.

To get acquainted with the segway, all upright rollers speed through a half-hour how-not-to-crash course, getting acquainted with the natural, fluid steering and learning how to propel the vehicle forward using a carrot tied to a stick. Armed with digital cameras, the urban sherpas snap shots throughout the tour for purchase afterward, and customers may take their own pictures as long as they briefly hop off the segway.
