The concept of the sandwich originated as a medieval era scam much like three-card Monte, where peasants had to guess whether deli meat or a spiked flail lay hidden between two slices of bread. Take no gambles with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $14 worth of gourmet burgers and sandwiches at Burger Zone on the Upper East Side.
Though Burger Zone opened its doors a scant six moons ago, its reputation for succulent kosher burgers is already deeply entrenched in the minds of city-dwelling sandwich-cravers. Flipping patties from lunch until the demi-midnight hour of 11:30 p.m., the cornucopia of sandwiches, which runs the gourmet gamut from beef and turkey to schnitzel and wild mushroom (each $7 à la carte and $11.50 as a meal), is matched only by the multifarious condiments, which includes hot chili, chimichurri, or, for the metacarnivore, a second burger. The chicken burger pairs a boastful, bread-beset fowl with fresh basil and walnuts ($7), and the lamb burger, notoriously silent, offers a portable take on a luxurious classic ($9). All solitary burgers and sandwiches may be upgraded to a meal with any drink plus fries or onion rings, which in turn may be substituted for fried mushrooms for an additional $0.75. Further upgrades are available for grain-seekers, with whole-wheat buns running an additional $0.50.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Lawful Motorcycling
Motorcycles, though often associated with reverse Robin Hoods, can be fun to ride even for non tough guys. Here's how to harness the speed and loudness of these two-wheelers without becoming a crime criminal yourself:
- Wear a Helmet: Many municipalities require motorcycle riders to wear a helmet; it sends an important message to kids–looking dorky can be pretty cool.
- Keep Your Hands on the Wheel: "Hands at 10 and 2" is even more important on a motorcycle.
- Obey the Rules of the Road: Popular rules include speed limits, velocity restrictions, and laws against driving under the influence of going too fast.
- Stay on the Road: Or, drive on the sidewalk, which is a tiny road for motorcycles.
- Avoid Intentional Crashes: Insurance only pays for three a month.
