Of all the wonderful things available for subscription, magazines have remained the favorite ever since the dinosaur-egg-of-the-month club went extinct. Feed your head with something other than triceratops omelettes with today's Groupon: for $12, you get a one-year subscription (55 issues) to Time Out New York magazine (a $19.99 value).

Time Out New York is a weekly publication that updates New Yorkers with the latest music, dance, sports, film, art, dining, clubs, comedy, books, theater, special events, and more. Each issue distills this glut of information into a simplified section dedicated to fun things to do for every borough and beyond. List-lovers will delight in a ton of numbered countdowns, which might include “100 Best Dishes and Drinks”, “Five Best Piano Bars”, and the "Top Six Boroughs" (spoiler alert: one can only be seen during a full moon). Every recommendation comes garnished with witty, concise descriptions and glossy color photos.

A weekly infusion of Time Out New York gives New York newcomers a far more accurate cultural map of the city than they'd get from consulting the miniature one inside a souvenir snow globe. Whether you're a starry-eyed recent arrival or have been living here since the city was called New Amsterdam, Time Out New York will pare the Big Apple down into crisp, bite-sized slices.

Time Out New York is offering a special price of $19.99 for 55 issues with automatic renewal; however, this Groupon still offers a better overall value.
